- Global Recognition Surpasses Competitors; Underscores Company's 125-
Year Commitment to Family
SC Johnson has again been recognized as a best place to work, continuing
the company's 125-year legacy of success in workforce development and
devotion to its employees and their families. In its most recent recognition,
SC Johnson was selected to be among Europe's Great Place to Work(R) after the
company's Poland, Germany and Italy subsidiaries appeared on the Great Place
to Work(R) list in each respective country.
Amid a global economic recession - which includes more than 50 million
individuals around the world currently out of work(i), and a surge of new
college graduates entering the workforce - SC Johnson's commitment to its
employees has been unwavering, as recognized from the Great Place to Work(R)
Institute, FORTUNE, Working Mother Magazine, DiversityInc, and the Human
Rights Campaign among others.
Over the past 10 years, SC Johnson has been recognized globally nearly 60
times from the Great Place to Work(R) Institute, far surpassing industry
competitors. Within the past 12 months, 12 country-specific subsidiaries have
received recognition as a Great Place to Work(R), including Argentina,
Germany and India. Adding to the praise, the company was named one of the
FORTUNE 100 Best Companies to Work For in 2011; the 11th time it has been
recognized since the list's inception 13 years ago.
"We are delighted to receive this recognition not only as one of the best
companies to work for, but also for our commitment to work-life balance,
working mothers and employing a diverse workforce," says Chairman and CEO
Fisk Johnson, the fifth generation Johnson to lead the family company. "Our
12,000 employees worldwide are truly part of our family; it is through them
that we are able to build upon our legacy and success as a company that
cares."
SC Johnson employees receive an array of opportunities and benefits that
are seen as competitive in each local marketplace. Among them include more
than 170 e-learning opportunities, paid sabbaticals, six months of maternity
leave, paternity and adoption leave. The global headquarter campus in Racine,
Wisconsin, also offers a fitness and aquatic center as well as a
state-of-the-art Childcare Learning Center. The company has also received
accolades from Working Mother Magazine as one of the 100 Best Companies for
Working Moms; DiversityInc as one of the Top 50 Companies for Diversity(R);
Human Rights Campaign Corporate Equality Index for the 8th consecutive year;
and FORTUNE's top companies for best benefits, including work-life balance
and telecommuting.
"For 125 years, SC Johnson has remained committed to doing what's right
for the families who use its products and the employees who create them,"
said Pascale Meyran, Senior Vice President, Global Human Resources. "We
believe it is critical to be a responsible and proactive member of both the
local and global communities in which we operate by supporting families and
offering great work environments."
