Plethora Named 2017 Top Workplace by Bay Area News Group
SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. July 12, 2017-- Plethora has been named as one of 2017’s Top Workplaces by the Bay Area News Group. The Top Workplaces awards are based on an employee feedback survey administered by WorkplaceDynamics, LLC, a leading research firm that specializes in organizational health and workplace improvement. Several aspects of workplace culture were measured, including leadership alignment, employee empowerment and connection, and community engagement.
“To be a Top Workplace, organizations must meet our strict standards for organizational health. And who better to ask about work life than the people who live the culture every day—the employees,” says Doug Claffey, CEO of WorkplaceDynamics. “Time and time again, our research has proven that what’s most important to them is a strong belief in where the organization is headed, how it’s going to get there, and the feeling that everyone is in it together. Without this sense of connection, an organization doesn’t have a shot at being named a Top Workplace.”
Plethora, a smart manufacturing company, takes pride in its employees' personal and professional commitment to creative collaboration. Their goal of making smarter design tools and manufacturing processes is paralleled in their company culture. Plethora's quarterlyDay of Making supports its community of inventors, opening the shop to personal projects and encouraging employees to teach classes on everything from soldering electronics to jewelry making.
Plethora’s emphasis on employee growth is a crucial component of the company’s overall success-- from collaboration on delivering high quality parts between all departments to in-house training programs for every machinist. Plethora strives to radically accelerate the manufacturing industry and empower everyone to be a maker. The outward vision of creativity and impact is a direct reflection of the everyday attitude of its employees.
