05 Mai 2023 - 12:58PM
Wabash (NYSE: WNC), the visionary leader of connected solutions for
the transportation, logistics and distribution industries, today
announced it was recognized among Newsweek’s list of “America’s
Greatest Workplaces for Job Starters 2023.”
Wabash was awarded four out of five stars on its score and is
the only trailer or truck body manufacturer to be recognized. It is
one of seven Indiana-based companies to make the list.
“We’re honored to be recognized as one of America's Greatest
Workplaces for Job Starters,” said Kristin Glazner, senior vice
president, general counsel and chief human resources officer. “This
recognition is a testament to our commitment to fostering a
supportive and inclusive work environment for our employees,
especially those just starting their careers. We believe that
investing in our people not only benefits them personally, but also
drives the success of Wabash as a whole. This recognition validates
our efforts and inspires us to continue creating a positive
workplace culture that empowers our employees to grow and thrive in
their careers.”
As part of the company’s commitment to learning, Wabash offers a
variety of development opportunities for employees, including
welding and skills training courses, self-directed learning modules
and targeted development programs through external partnerships,
all at no cost to employees.
Wabash employees have on-demand access to thousands of courses
through the company’s customizable Learning Management System —
Wabash U — which offers self-directed and instructor-led online
coursework on a variety of professional development topics. In
addition, targeted learning and development opportunities are
created through external partnerships, including special
development programs for front-line leaders.
For employees interested in pursuing a degree program or
certification at an accredited college or university, Wabash offers
the Accelerator tuition reimbursement program. The Accelerator
program not only eases the financial burden of certifications and
undergraduate and graduate degree studies, it also connects
employees with a personal education advisor to guide them through
the selection process to ensure they find the right program for
their needs. Their assigned advisor remains connected to the
employee throughout the learning experience to help ensure
individual success.
To underscore its commitment to fostering an inclusive
workplace, Wabash offers an Emerging Leaders Development Program
(ELDP) that aims to cultivate a sense of community and belonging
among new college graduates. This program is tailored to their
needs and interests, allowing them to gain exposure to various
roles within their respective fields and facilitating their career
growth. Through ELDP, Wabash aims to provide its emerging leaders
with the resources and support they need to thrive in their careers
and feel valued as members of the team.
Finally, for aspiring professionals looking to enter the
workforce, Wabash provides an immersive summer internship program
that offers valuable work experiences and networking opportunities.
In fact, the company will welcome 28 college interns to its
Indiana, Arkansas and Kentucky operations this month.
Newsweek and data research firm Plant-A Insights compiled the
“America’s Greatest Workplaces 2023 for Job Starters” list by
conducting a large employer survey with respondents who have
working-experience of five years or less, working in the U.S. for
companies with at least 1,000 employees. The study collected over
146,000 reviews of companies in total based on criteria such as
company image, corporate culture, working environment, work-life
balance, training and career progression, compensation and
benefits, sustainability awareness and proactive management of the
diverse workforce.
“Our America’s Greatest Workplaces for Job Starters ranking
highlights the companies that care about providing a positive
working environment and career progression,” said Nancy Cooper,
Newsweek's global editor in chief. “Congratulations to everyone at
Wabash for earning this recognition.”
