KNIPEX Tools is honored to be recognized as one of Chicago’s Best & Brightest Companies to Work For, a distinction awarded by the National Association for Business Resources. The award celebrates organizations that prioritize their workplace culture and continue to raise the bar as leaders in employment standards.
With over 25 years of experience conducting the Best and Brightest competitions, the National Association for Business Resources (NABR) partners with an independent research firm to review several key metrics before selecting winning companies. The categories for scoring include: Compensation, Benefits, and Employee Solutions; Creative Wellness and Wellbeing Solutions; Employee Enrichment, Engagement, and Retention; Employee Education and Development; Recruitment and Selection; Employee Achievement and Recognition; Communication and Shared Vision; Civility and Inclusion; Work-Life Blend; Community Initiatives and Corporate Responsibility; and Leadership, Strategy, and Company Performance.
Six years ago, KNIPEX Tools LP (KTLP) launched a values-based culture for its employees with four core values: Knowledge, Teamwork, Loyalty and Passion. The values have become the building blocks for how the company does business, informing everything from people strategies, benefits, training, performance reviews, and more.
The award comes just on the heels of KNIPEX Tools being Certified by Great Place To Work for the second consecutive year.
“We are very proud of the culture we have built – one based on respect, support, communication, and especially, our shared values.” Julie Day, Vice President of Human Resources, expressed when asked what the latest accolade means to the organization. She continued, “The experience we create internally directly influences company performance. When our employees feel valued and love what they do, they contribute at the highest levels. Receiving this additional recognition helps those outside the company see what we already know to be true – that KTLP is a great company to work for.”
