LOUISVILLE, Ky.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--GE Appliances, a Haier company, today announced it has earned the global Great Place to Work recognition, a prestigious award based entirely on what employees have to say about their work experience.
This year, 81% of employees said GE Appliances is a great place to work – beating the national average of 59% for a typical U.S.-based company by 22 percentage points. Results also showed 89% of employees said they felt welcome upon joining the company.
“This is a tremendous win that underscores a fundamental priority of our company: taking care of our people,” said Kevin Nolan, president and CEO of GE Appliances. “We know that building world-class appliances for our customers and owners starts with world-class people behind our products—and we appreciate all that our employees do. At GE Appliances, we strive to offer a culture and experience that supports the ideas, aspirations, and wellbeing of everyone and helps us become the employer of choice for top, diverse talent globally and across the U.S.”
Great Place to Work® is the global authority on workplace culture and employee experience. Since 1992, they have surveyed more than 100 million employees worldwide and used those deep insights to define what makes a great workplace: trust.
“Great Place to Work Certification™ isn’t something that comes easily – it takes ongoing dedication to the employee experience,” said 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. Earning this designation means that GE Appliances is one of the best companies to work for in the country.”
GE Appliances believes in putting people first. In addition to a comprehensive and flexible benefits package, the company offers several programs that help employees focus on their wellbeing and the health of their families. These include its award-winning “WellWithin” initiative and a paid parental leave policy providing up to 12 weeks leave for new parents.
The company has also earned the “Best Place to Work for LGBTQ Equality” from the Human Rights Campaign four years in a row and has been recognized as one of the “Healthiest Workplaces in America” by Healthiest Employers.
