About the Survey
This survey and awards program is designed to identify, recognize and honor the best employers in the plastics industry, benefiting the industry’s economy, workforce and businesses. Plastics News’ 2014 Best Places to Work list ranks 10 qualifying companies. To be considered for this initial program, companies had to be a plastics processor, compounder, recycler or mold/toolmaker, and fulfill other specific eligibility requirements.

Companies from across the United States and Canada entered the two-part survey process to determine Plastics News’ Best Places to Work. The first part consisted of evaluating each nominated company’s workplace policies, practices, philosophy, systems and demographics. This was worth approximately 25% of the total evaluation. The second part consisted of an employee survey to measure the employee experience. This was worth approximately 75% of the total evaluation. The combined scores determined the top companies and the final ranking. Best Companies Group managed the overall registration and survey process, analyzed the data and determined the final ranking.

Plastics News honored all the winners and revealed the final ranking in a special ceremony at the Plastics News Executive Forum (www.plasticsnews.com/forum2014) on Feb. 24 at Saddlebrook Resort in Tampa, Fla.  For more about PN’s Best Places to Work program, visit www.BestPlacesToWorkPlastics.com.
