RACINE, Wis., Dec. 21, 2011 – For the 10th year in a row, SC Johnson Italy has been recognized as a Great Place to Work by the Great Place to Work® Institute, ranking number 19 on the listing of small to medium sized companies. The recognition demonstrates the family company’s long-standing commitment to creating great workplaces.
"Congratulations to SC Johnson Italy for outstanding efforts to create a great place to work, for 10 consecutive years," said Steven Stanbrook, Chief Operating Officer – International Markets. "Despite challenging economic times, the company remains true to its long-term focus on workplace excellence, and that is demonstrated through the outstanding commitment of the Italian team that has resulted in this recognition.”
The annual Italian list is based on a random employee survey, as well as a report on best practices completed by the company. This year for the first time, the Great Place to Work® Institute published two lists – one for large companies (850 employees or more) and another for small to medium sized companies (50 – 849 employees).
"We are truly honored to be recognized again by the Great Place to Work® Institute," said Victor Puente, Senior Vice President – Europe. "Our number 19 ranking this year is a direct reflection of the unwavering commitment of the people of SC Johnson Italy to uphold the values of our family company. Our unique culture and commitment to doing what’s right for people is what will continue to set us apart as a great place to work.”
SC Johnson’s commitment to creating great workplaces spans the globe. In October, the company ranked number 10 on the World’s Best Multinational Workplaces, a newly-issued list also from the Great Place to Work® Institute. The ranking was based, in part, on the number of the company’s subsidiaries that were recognized as a Best Company in their country between September 2010 and August 2011, including Argentina, Canada, Central America, Chile, Germany, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Poland, the U.S. and Venezuela.
