WAXIE San Diego Named a Top Workplace by The San Diego Union-Tribune

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

SAN DIEGO, CA – San Diego based company WAXIE Sanitary Supply has been awarded a Top Workplaces honor by The San Diego Union-Tribune for the second year in a row.

The Top Workplaces lists are based solely on the results of 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 Alignment, Execution, and Connection, just to name a few.

“The Top Workplaces award is not a popularity contest. And oftentimes, people assume it’s all about fancy perks and benefits,” says Doug Claffey, CEO of WorkplaceDynamics. “But 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. 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.” Claffey adds, “Without this sense of connection, an organization doesn’t have a shot at being named a Top Workplace.”

“We are very proud and honored to be recognized by our employees for this award and the distinction of being a Top Workplace in San Diego,” stated Charles Wax, Chairman and CEO. “We have been a family owned business for 71 years, and we are grateful for our many long-term employees who make WAXIE their home while taking great care of our valued customers. Our success is measured by the success of our people.”

WAXIE San Diego employees credited the culture, people, job security, and the feeling that their work contributions make a difference, along with management’s encouragement and support. As one WAXIE employee stated, “When I first started I had no idea I had started a career - I thought I had just landed a job. Instead, I started a lifetime of work from which I can hopefully retire.”

“We are excited to receive this award,” said Jeff Roberts, WAXIE’s President and COO. “As we look to the future with optimism we will continue to invest in our people and in technology, and we will celebrate the company culture that will attract new people to join WAXIE.”
