MIDLAND, Mich., Nov. 14, 2024 -- Great Place To Work® (GPTW) and Fortune magazine have honored Dow (NYSE: DOW) as one of the Fortune World's Best Workplaces™ in 2024 . This is the second consecutive year that Dow has earned this distinction.
"This recognition is a testament to the dedication and hard work of our employees globally," said Jim Fitterling, Dow chair and CEO. "Their unwavering commitment to creating an outstanding workplace environment is what has earned us this prestigious honor. This award celebrates our collective achievement and highlights the strong culture of trust and transparency that we continually foster within Dow."
The Fortune World's Best Workplaces list is highly competitive. Great Place To Work, the global authority on workplace culture, selected the list using rigorous analytics and confidential employee feedback. To be considered for the list, companies must have already been a Great Place To Work Certified™ organization. They must also be identified as outstanding global employers by appearing on at least five Best Workplaces™ lists in Asia, Europe, Latin America, Africa, North America or Australia during 2023 or early 2024.
In the 2024 cycle, Dow was certified as a Great Place to Work® in 15 countries and ranked on eight national Best Workplaces™ lists.
Organizations are assessed on their efforts to create great workplaces and positively impact people and communities across multiple countries around the world. Companies must demonstrate how they generously and thoughtfully support employees with personalized support that meets their unique needs.
Alveda Williams, Ph.D., Dow's chief inclusion officer, emphasized the significance of being named on the Fortune World's Best Workplaces™ list. "Being eligible for this recognition is a remarkable achievement for Team Dow," she noted. "Securing a spot on this prestigious list for the second consecutive year highlights our collective efforts across all regions to cultivate an inclusive and exceptional workplace environment."
"As global companies, these employers have an incredible impact on our world," says Michael C. Bush, CEO of Great Place To Work. "We are proud to recognize these companies for their dedication to creating better workplaces for every employee — and by extension, making the world a better place for all of us."
"This global list followed a rigorous process, one that assures that employees have spoken about what they think are exceptional workplaces where they feel trusted, empowered, and energized to do their best work," says Alyson Shontel, editor-in-chief of Fortune.
