FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
June 2012
MOEN NAMED TOP WORKPLACE BY THE PLAIN DEALER
High Honor Based on Companies that Possess an Outstanding Culture
and Promote a Positive Work Environment
North Olmsted… Moen Incorporated continues to receive top accolades and designations. Not only is it the number one faucet brand in North America; Moen has also been named as one of the top 100 workplaces in Northeast Ohio by The Plain Dealer. The announcement was made in the June 17 edition of the Cleveland-based daily newspaper.
Workplace Dynamics, an independent company, recently conducted surveys to more than 130,000 employees in Northeast Ohio. The survey was based solely on employee workplace satisfaction to distinguish companies that possess an outstanding culture and promote a positive work environment (categories included: job satisfaction, confidence in the future of their company, trust in co-workers, management effectiveness and compensation/benefits). More than 240 companies participated and 132 met the nationwide criteria as a “Top Workplace.” The top 100 workplaces were featured in The Plain Dealer.
“We’re extremely proud of our designation as a top workplace in Northeast Ohio,” said Robyn Hill, vice president of human resources, Moen. “At Moen, we work diligently to create robust programs which empower our associates to thrive within our company, and our communities at large. We’re thrilled to be recognized among such highly regarded companies in the Greater Cleveland area.”
While Moen is well-known for its reliable, thoughtfully designed kitchen and bath products, it also has comprehensive benefits and community support programs. Beyond traditional medical, dental and life insurance, some of its more unique benefits include adoption assistance, smoking cessation programs, legal assistance and generous disability benefits. Moen also provides free flu shots and onsite mammograms. The company holds an annual Health Fair and conducts regular blood pressure testing. In addition, all Moen associates are encouraged to join its staffed, state of the-art Wellness Center and participate in programs including fitness challenges and lunch’n’learn sessions.
As part of Moen’s ongoing dedication to wellness, associates are now able to order produce through an online weekly delivery service called Blue Sky Green Fields. Moen associates place their orders, and the food is delivered directly to their office the next day. “It’s an easy way to include eating more fruits and vegetables into a busy lifestyle,” added Hill.
Moen is also committed to providing an environment of lifelong learning and encourages associate development. A unique program, called “Moen University,” provides a comprehensive selection of e-learning tools, onsite classes and university/professional development opportunities. Moen supports its associates through a generous tuition reimbursement program and a college scholarship program for their children.
Promoting from within is a priority for Moen. Accordingly, it posts all open positions, resulting in over 30 percent of its openings being filled by internal candidates. One notable success story is represented by Moen president, David Lingafelter, a Northeast Ohio native who began his career with Moen 22 years ago as a marketing manager.
“Without the passion of our associates, Moen would just be another company,” said Hill. “We’re a top workplace in Northeast Ohio because of the creativity, dedication and teamwork our people exemplify every day.”
