Taking everything into account, women and men
nearly identical in how they experience the company
Graco Inc. (NYSE:GGG), a leading manufacturer of fluid
handling equipment, has been named one of the 2018 Best Workplaces
in Manufacturing and Production, according to Fortune Magazine.
This is the second time Graco has been recognized on this list,
also being named in 2016. The Company did not apply in 2017.
“Being recognized by Fortune again is a testament to the
attitude and contributions of all Graco employees,” said Patrick J.
McHale, Graco’s President and CEO. “Our pay, benefits and perks are
not what make us a great place to work – it’s the deep commitment
to our mission from each and every employee. No matter their pay
grade, gender, ethnicity, age or job, employees bring a desire to
win as a team every day, and that’s what makes us strong.”
Graco earned this ranking based on the Great Place to Work
group’s analysis of anonymous employee responses to their Trust
Index Survey together with an analysis of the Company’s programs
and practices. Great Place to Work measures companies on the
following four categories: executive team effectiveness;
innovation; people-focused programs; and “Great Place to Work For
All.” The last category evaluates the company’s demonstration of
high levels of trust, credible and respectful leadership, pride in
their work and camaraderie, regardless of who employees are or what
they do. Graco scored highest in the innovation category, outpacing
74 percent of all participant companies. The Company also scored
exceedingly high when women and men both rated the statement,
“Taking everything into account, I would say this is a great place
to work,” with women scoring 91 and men scoring 92 out of 100.
“We have a great culture that thrives on making tomorrow better
than today,” said one Graco employee in the anonymous survey.
“Every single employee has the ability to continually improve their
area of responsibility and make significant contributions toward
our overall success as a company.”
