ST. LOUIS, Sept. 15, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Already a top
employer in the region, Ameren Corporation (NYSE: AEE) has once
again been recognized by Great Place to Work® and
FORTUNE magazine as one of the 2021 Best Workplaces in
Manufacturing & Production, earning the 18th spot
among the top 20 companies nationally.
"We're proud to once again be honored as a best workplace," said
Mark Lindgren, senior vice
president, corporate communications and chief human resources
officer for Ameren Corporation. "There's something special about
ending each day knowing that you contribute to meeting a critical
need for your family, friends and community. I'm glad that our
co-workers continue to feel inspired by this work and empowered to
be part of innovating for a more sustainable future."
The award for Best Workplaces in Manufacturing & Production
is based on a 60-question survey conducted with more than 220,000
current employees at companies in the manufacturing and production
industry. In that survey, 83% of Ameren employees said Ameren is a
great place to work, which is 24% higher than the average U.S.
company.
Some of the primary reasons co-workers rank Ameren highly
include:
- A welcoming environment and collaborative teams provide
support.
- Employees are given responsibility and autonomy on the
job.
- Flexibility to maintain a better work-life balance.
- Ameren's commitment to giving back to the community.
Hallmarks of working at Ameren include a supportive and
inclusive culture, and competitive employee benefits and retirement
options. Training and mentorship opportunities enable employees to
advance in their careers at Ameren. More than half of current
employees have a tenure of at least 11 years at the company, with
some spending more than three decades at Ameren.
"The Best Workplaces in Manufacturing & Production have
shown incredible care for their employees," says Michael C. Bush, CEO of Great Place to Work.
"In 2020 and beyond, these companies rewarded the hard and
unrelenting work of their employees by creating a safe space for
them to thrive in their careers and in their personal lives."
The FORTUNE and Great Place to Work distinction is one of
several accolades Ameren has received for its workplace culture
this year. DiversityInc ranked Ameren first among U.S. utilities
for diversity and inclusion efforts, and the company also earned a
perfect score on the Disability Equality Index.
