Seven countries operating within REHAU's Americas region, including Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Mexico, Colombia and the United States, individually achieved Great Place to Work Certification. This recognition is based on what current employees have to say about their workplace experience in the Great Place to Work global employee survey platform.
This is the first year that Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Mexico, and the United States have received this award. Colombia became the first Great Place to Work-Certified country in the REHAU Group worldwide in 2021 and earned re-certification this year.
What does this certification mean?
This global recognition considers the extent to which employees trust leaders, the respect with which people are treated, the fairness of workplace decisions, and the feelings of pride and camaraderie among team members.
“Great Place to Work Certification isn’t something that comes easily, it takes ongoing dedication to the employee experience,” says Sarah Lewis-Kulin, vice president of global recognition at Great Place to Work. “It’s the only official recognition determined by employees’ real-time reports of their company culture.”
What REHAU has to say
“We are honored that seven countries in our region have now joined the ranks of manufacturing companies who are Great Place to Work-Certified,” says Monika Irchenhauser, vice president of human resources. “We are also very pleased that our employees, including the 80 percent who work in our eight manufacturing plants, say that REHAU is a great place to work. Customers can be assured that no matter the origin of their REHAU product, it comes from employees who are proud of the company and of the work that they do.”
As confirmed by the survey, 89 percent of employees affirm that “When I look at what we accomplish, I feel a sense of pride.” and 84 percent agree that “I can be myself around here.”
“As we celebrate this milestone, we acknowledge that being a great place to work is a continuous journey that requires all employees to resolve issues as they arise,” says Irchenhauser. “Our persistent efforts will help REHAU maintain this certification for years to come.”
