Dow (NYSE: DOW) has been named as one of the 2020 PEOPLE's "50
Companies that Care" by Great Place to Work® and PEOPLE. The annual
list will be featured in the September 14 issue of PEOPLE, which
will be available on newsstands September 4.
Rankings represent the experience of more than 4.7 million
working U.S. citizens. PEOPLE partnered with Great Place to Work, a
global people analytics and consulting firm, to analyze employees’
survey feedback on how their workplaces make a difference in their
lives and communities. This year specifically focused on how
companies responded to the COVID-19 pandemic to take care of their
employees, their communities, and the world. Dow ranked 31 on the
list.
“Dow’s focus during the COVID-19 pandemic has been on three
areas: leveraging our innovation and technology to address critical
supply shortages, reinforcing our commitment to resilient
communities and supporting Team Dow,” said Dow’s Chief Human
Resources Officer and Chief Inclusion Officer Karen S. Carter. “We
are honored to receive this recognition, and even in these
uncertain times, we remain focused on our people and maintaining a
culture of care.”
The PEOPLE’s “50 Companies that Care” stand out for stepping up
as leaders during an unprecedented time in modern history.
“At Dow, we are driven by a desire to improve the world around
us, and we believe in putting people first,” said Jim Fitterling,
Dow’s chairman and CEO. “This culture is what has enabled Team Dow
to adapt and take action, responding to the needs of all our
stakeholders – our investors, colleagues, customers and
communities.”
During the pandemic, Dow retooled assets to help address
critical supply shortages of personal protective equipment and hand
sanitizer, provided financial contributions and in-kind product
donations, and acted to protect the safety and overall wellbeing of
team members.
“Best workplaces like Dow are showing up for their employees and
communities during this unprecedented time and they’re able to do
this because of the strong investments in their cultures leading up
to this point,” said Michael C. Bush, CEO of Great Place to Work.
“Having a foundation of trust has allowed these businesses to find
innovative responses to COVID-19.”
