Uponor North America continues to earn recognitions from employee engagement research company, Energage. In addition to being named a 2022 Top Workplaces USA award recipient, ranked the #1 Top Manufacturing Workplaces in Minnesota in 2022; and recognized eight times as a Top Workplace in the State of Minnesota since 2012, Uponor has now been ranked #10 in Energage’s National Manufacturer Top Workplaces list out of 349 similarly sized companies. This is the first time Uponor has earned a top 10 national ranking in this category.
The National Manufacturer Top Workplaces honor is determined through feedback gathered during an annual employee survey. Uponor employees were asked to rate their overall job experience, as well as satisfaction with criteria such as wages, benefits, and company culture.
“Recognitions like this national award reinforce what we already know – Uponor is a great place to work and build a career,” said Andres Caballero, president, Uponor North America. “Industry honors are important, but having our employees’ survey responses name our company as a top national manufacturer is very special. We will continue to do all we can to reinforce our corporate values and lead with a people-first culture.”
Earlier in the year, Uponor was awarded the Top Workplaces Compensation & Benefits Culture award, which celebrates organizations that offer robust, competitive compensation and benefit packages to its employees.
