Plantronics Named “Best Place to Work” in Mexico for Fourth Consecutive Year

May 20, 2014

Plantronics (NYSE:PLT), a pioneer in wearable technology, announced that the company’s manufacturing facility in Tijuana, Mexico, Plamex, has been named the “Best Place to Work” in Mexico by the Great Place to Work Institute for the fourth consecutive year, a distinction that continues to validate the facility’s long-standing reputation as an exemplary business entity in the region.

“We are very proud of everything the Plamex team has accomplished,” said Alejandro Bustamante, senior vice president of operations at Plantronics. “The Plamex culture is exemplary, the way we live our values is second to none, and the employee commitment to help deliver great results demonstrates that they are happy with what they do. Plamex has become a benchmark in Mexico.”

A great place to work, as defined by the Great Place to Work Institute, is “a place in which you trust the people you work for, have pride in what you do, and enjoy the people you work 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.

Plamex - A Legacy of Excellence

Plamex has been in operation for more than 40 years, has more than 2,000 employees, and provides more than 180 programs for their associates. The secret is the Mission, Vision, and Values meetings, a one-hour weekly meeting where Plamex leaders concentrate solely on creative ways to improve the work environment by fostering a place of respect and trust.

Programs at the Mexico facility include everything from mass weddings each Valentine’s Day to educational opportunities that help employees further their education. The educational support programs at Plamex have helped employees attain more than 2,300 degrees. For the past five years, there have also been development programs that have enabled more than 1,000 employees to grow into new roles in the company rather than leaving Plantronics for professional growth opportunities.

The Plantronics Mexico team also engages with the community on many levels including outreach to orphanages, donations to the community for natural disasters, reforestation efforts, and education about recycling. They encourage employee and family involvement and support the Children’s Orchestra, the DARE Program and offer medical consultations to family members at their facility.

Plamex has received numerous awards and commendations for its excellence in environmental matters, community work, customer satisfaction, and work safety. Previous awards include:

  • U.S. Secretary of State’s 2013 Award for Corporate Excellence
  • Best Place to Work in Mexico (2011-2013)
  • Mexico Quality
  • Mexico Export
  • Mexico Technology and Mexico Labor awards
  • The Federal Ministry of Labor’s Safe Industry Certificate
  • PROFEPA’s Clean Industry Certificate
  • PROFEPA/CNIME Environmental Award (EPA/National Maquiladora Council)
  • 2005 Asia-Pacific International Quality Award
  • 2005 Iberoamerican Quality Award
  • 2005 Century International Quality Era Award
  • 2008 Latin American Quality award.
