Worzalla honored by industry
By City Times staff
STEVENS POINT – Stevens Point-based Worzalla has been awarded the Best Workplace and Safety Shield designations in the 2020 Best Workplace in the Americas (BWA) awards competition. This marks the fourth-consecutive year that Worzalla has been recognized as a Best Workplace in the Americas and the second consecutive year for receiving the Safety Shield award.
The BWA awards recognize companies that create the best environments for their employees. The BWA awards, presented by Printing Industries of America, are awarded annually to only those companies meeting rigorous standards in human resources practices.
“To be honored once again by our industry’s leading group for our employee culture and safety record validates all that we have been doing to create a positive experience for all of our associates,” said Brianne Petruzalek, director of human resources at Worzalla.
A panel of printing industry HR professionals evaluated applicants in three categories: Communications & Culture, Employee Resources & Benefits, and Safety & Work Environment. Companies that applied for a Safety Shield designation were evaluated based on Occupational Safety and Health Administration compliance standards and best practices in environmental, health, and safety practices.
“Worzalla is one of the premier companies in the printing industry for employee experiences,” said Adriane Harrison, Vice President of Human Relations at PIA. “This award is a testament to Worzalla’s leadership in developing an ‘employer of choice’ culture.”
Last year, Worzalla hit a milestone when they reached over one million hours without a lost time accident. They also revamped their onboarding and training programs, introduced a mentorship program, and increased efforts around employee recognition and engagement.
