Plantronics (NYSE: PLT) today announced that Plamex, the company’s
manufacturing facility in Tijuana, Mexico, has been named the “Best
Place to Work” in Mexico by the Great
Place to Work Institute - a distinction that further
validates the facility’s long-standing reputation as an exemplary
business entity in the region.
The Great Place to Work Institute defines a great place to work as “a
place in which you trust the people you work for, have pride in what you
do, and enjoy the people you interact with.” Employees from more than
500 companies participated in the Great Place to Work Institute’s survey
that ranks companies based on credibility, respect, fairness, pride, and
camaraderie. In addition to winning the coveted ‘Best Place to Work’
distinction, Plamex also received special recognition for scoring the
highest in the “credibility” dimension versus the other companies
surveyed.
Alejandro Bustamante, president of Plamex, accepted the award on behalf
of the company. “It’s extremely gratifying to be chosen as the best
place to work in Mexico based on our own associates’ feedback,” said
Bustamante. “Our corporate environment was built on a foundation of
mutual respect and employee empowerment, and this designation clearly
reflects that those principles are still solidly in place and
appreciated.”
