BANNOCKBURN, Ill., Aug. 22,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Stericycle, Inc. (Nasdaq: SRCL),
a leading provider of regulated medical waste management and secure
information destruction solutions, announced today that it has been
recognized by Newsweek and Plant-A Insights Group as one of
America's Greatest Workplaces and one of America's Greatest
Workplaces for Mental Wellbeing in the large-size company category
for 2024. Earlier this year, Newsweek also named Stericycle one of
America's Greatest Workplaces for Diversity and for Women in
2024.
The dual recognition affirms Stericycle's commitment to
supporting its workforce while fostering a culture of respect and
engagement. The selection process involved a comprehensive,
independent evaluation of publicly available data, interviews with
human resources professionals, and an anonymous online survey
conducted with more than 250,000 employees at companies across
the United States. Respondents
were asked to share insight into how important the company values
various factors, including working environment, company culture and
values, compensation and benefits, and sustainability and
awareness, among others.
"Stericycle is committed to protecting what matters, and that
includes the health and wellbeing of our team members, customers
and the communities we serve," commented Cindy J. Miller, president and chief executive
officer at Stericycle. "For us to achieve our mission, we must
provide our team members with the benefits and support they need to
be healthy and successful both at work and at home. These
recognitions are a testament to our ongoing commitment to shape a
healthier and safer world for everyone, everywhere, every day."
Stericycle creates a positive, safe and supportive work
environment for its employees through various initiatives,
including:
- Cultivating a Diverse and Inclusive Culture: Stericycle
is committed to the outreach, recruitment, hiring and development
of team members who have diverse backgrounds and unique
experiences. In 2023, 67% of all U.S.-based new hires and 51% of
internal promotions identified as part of a racial or ethnic
minority group. Additionally, Stericycle has seven employee
resource groups (ERGs) dedicated to supporting women, Black and
Latinx team members, veterans, young professionals, team members
with disabilities and their family members, and the LGBTQ+
community.
- Focusing on Safety: Safety is a priority and core value
at Stericycle. Although safety is a priority every month of the
year, Stericycle designated June annually as Global Safety Month.
During Safety Month, company leaders facilitate activities and
discussions that focus on injury and accident prevention. All team
members are also asked to sign the company's annual Safety
Commitment Pledge. In 2023, 94% of team members signed the
pledge.
At Stericycle, safety goes beyond the physical. As part of
its ongoing commitment to supporting all team members'
wellbeing, Stericycle introduced a new Employee
Assistance Program (EAP), which provides access to
mental health benefits, support and robust resources.
- Supporting Enhanced Education and Training: In addition
to helping customers navigate complex requirements, Stericycle is
dedicated to providing educational resources to team
members. Starting in 2023, the Regulatory Affairs team began
facilitating a weekly educational series on business-relevant
topics for team members. The Waste Wizard Wednesday series includes
company leaders sharing insights and best practices around
programs, waste streams and industry requirements. The series is
designed to help team members provide guidance and additional
resources for customers to support compliant and sustainable waste
programs. Additionally in 2023, the company launched new front line
leadership trainings. The four-month training program covers three
key areas: Leadership Essentials, Safety Essentials and Fleet
Essentials.
"Finding a great workplace is an important decision that needs
to factor in pay, respect, training and advancement as well as
healthy work-life balance. Newsweek and market-data research firm
Plant-A Insights are proud to publish "America's Greatest
Workplaces 2024," the second annual ranking that highlights
companies which are committed to offering a positive and supportive
working environment," said Nancy
Cooper, Global Editor in Chief, Newsweek.
