People over Profit: Our Culture at Gloggner Metal Fabricators
While many shops that provide metal fabrication services are driven solely by their bottom line, Gloggner Metal Fabricators takes a different approach.
We’re laser-focused on creating quality jobs and encouraging a healthy work/life balance for our team, the people responsible for our success as a company.
The Shrinking Manufacturing Workforce
It’s no secret that manufacturing is experiencing a labor problem. The industry has grappled with the manufacturing skills gap for years. Unfortunately, finding and retaining talent in specialties like metal fabrication services and industrial ventilation services is getting even harder.
As staffing challenges persist, other companies make the mistake of treating their teams like commodities and their people like numbers. But we know there’s a better way.
Treating employees like people matters
Gloggner believes a thoughtful approach to nurturing manufacturing teams is the future of the industry and will make all the difference as the labor shortage continues.
If you ask us, this way of thinking should not be newsworthy. But with standard industry practices leaving much to be desired, it bears mentioning.
How Gloggner Puts People over Profit
In recent years, we’ve made significant changes as we strive to create the best team environment and employee experience.
Paid time off
Paid time off enables a better work/life balance for each employee. We’ve been proud to add PTO to our employee compensation packages.
Gloggner employees know they can take this time to vacation with their families without sacrificing paid time.
To further encourage team members to take time for themselves, we give everyone their birthday as a paid day off. Additionally, two paid bereavement days are available.
Team celebrations
Celebrating our wins and spending quality time together are also vital to Gloggner’s company culture.
We’ve started hosting holiday parties so the team can gather to honor a year of great work. Last year, we were thrilled to be able to provide a holiday bonus.
A focus on respect
With these new initiatives, we’re fostering an environment where we all respect each other as people.
From offering PTO to honoring birthdays to simply making sure employees make it home safely and on time, respect and care are central to how we treat each other.
Growing Together for the Benefit of All
Respecting and caring for our team members also means supporting their career growth. We strive to create opportunities for the people who choose to work here.
Gloggner employees know that if they have goals for advancement or if there are skills they want to learn to provide better custom metal fabrication services or industrial ventilation services, we’ll work together to make their dreams a reality.
We aim to create an environment focused on a legacy of excellence and continuous improvement. The best part is that everyone benefits from our approach: our employees, our company, and the customers we serve.
