Hand tool innovator and market leader awarded for high marks in employee engagement and satisfaction
CHICAGO, February 3, 2023 – Today, Ƶ, a family-owned and managed hand tools manufacturer, announces it is a winner of a 2023 Top Workplaces USA award that focuses solely on feedback captured by employees. The Top Workplaces USA program is built on nearly two decades of surveying more than 20 million employees across 54 markets.
“We are committed to maintaining a strong culture and people-focused approach at Klein, so we are honored to continue to be named a top workplace by our very own employees,” said David Klein, Vice President of Human Resources at Ƶ. “Everyone here, from the people on the ground of our facilities testing and creating our tools all the way to our senior leadership, has contributed to our company culture and pride in ways we never could have imagined.”
Top Workplaces USA offers national recognition for large organizations, those with more than 150 employees, and those that may have operations in multiple markets. Several thousand organizations across the country were invited, and more than 1,100 participated in the Top Workplaces USA survey. Winners of the Top Workplaces USA list are chosen based solely on employee feedback gathered through an employee engagement survey, issued by Energage. Results are calculated by comparing the survey’s research-based statements, including 15 Culture Drivers that are proven to predict high performance against industry benchmarks.
"During this very challenging time, Top Workplaces has proven to be a beacon of light for organizations, as well as a sign of resiliency and strong business performance," said Eric Rubino, Energage CEO. "When you give your employees a voice, you come together to navigate challenges and shape your path forward. Top Workplaces draw on real-time insights into what works best for their organization, so they can make informed decisions that have a positive impact on their people and their business."
