Superior Lithographics Named Best Workplace Awardee in Best Workplace in the Americas 2020 Competition
Vernon, CA – February 4th, 2020 - Superior Lithographics of Vernon, CA has been awarded the Best Workplace designation in the 2020 Best Workplace in the Americas (BWA) awards competition. The BWA awards are awarded to companies that create the best environments for their employees. The BWA awards, presented by Printing Industries of America (PIA), is awarded annually to only those companies meeting rigorous standards in human resources practices.
A panel of printing industry HR professionals evaluated applicants in three categories: Communications & Culture, Employee Resources & Benefits, and Safety & Work Environment. Companies that applied for a Safety Shield designation were evaluated based on Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) compliance standards and best practices in environmental, health, and safety (EHS) practices.
“Superior Lithographics is one of the premier companies in the printing industry for employee experiences,” said Adriane Harrison, vice president of Human Relations at PIA. “This award is a testament to Superior’s leadership in developing an ‘employer of choice’ culture.”
“Winning a BWA award is an honor. We realize that our extraordinary growth record is due to our team of 120 employees intense focus on customer satisfaction and our acceptance that a management style of trust, not control, make that possible. As an organization, we embrace the Lean Manufacturing culture and reject a management style of top down control. We trust the knowledge and judgement of our front-line team. We accept that team members will make mistakes, but that in the end they will make the best calls. We embrace the ‘servant leadership’ approach as another way of describing the classical virtue of humility,” said Doug Rawson CEO & Founder of Superior Lithographics.
Michael F. Makin, president and CEO of PIA, agrees. “The Best Workplace in the Americas award winners stand among the most distinguished printing industry leaders by human resources standards. Congratulations to Superior Lithographics for its outstanding achievement in human resources excellence.”
