PITT OHIO, a leader in transportation and logistics services, recently announced it has been awarded a 2019 Top Workplace honor in 3 of its locations, including Indianapolis, Indiana, and Cincinnati and Cleveland Ohio. The Top Workplaces lists are based solely on the results of an employee feedback survey administered by Energage (formerly WorkplaceDynamics, LLC), a leading research firm that specializes in organizational health and workplace improvement. Several aspects of workplace culture are measured, including Alignment, Execution, and Connection, just to name a few.

PITT OHIO made the list for the third time in all three cities, ranking 2nd in Indianapolis, Indiana.  The company’s Indianapolis terminal was also honored with this year’s special award for “Direction.”   “The No. 1 thing that employees told us was most important to them was that they believe the company is going in the right direction,” Bob Helbig, media partnerships at Energage, said.   PITT OHIO’s Indianapolis terminal scored the highest among all respondents to the statement, “I believe this company is going in the right direction.”

PITT OHIO employs 3,300 across a network of 21 terminals and a corporate office.  Employee satisfaction at every level and every location is essential to PITT OHIO’s People Driven pillar of their mission statement.  “People Driven really refers to the idea of us making an effort to deeply engage our employees on a regular basis,” Don Whitfield, Human Resources Director at PITT OHIO said. 

Management places a top priority on understanding the perspective of its employees and the tough nature of the work they do.  “We are constantly thinking about ways to show our appreciation to our employees,” Whitfield continued. “Giving them what they need is the primary driver of employee satisfaction. We want to make sure they feel that we're committed to them and understand all the things they go through as drivers and dock workers.”

Besides the good feeling of working somewhere you are treated well, PITT OHIO believes the culture within their organization is reflected in how it does business.  “Happy employees deliver the best in customer service,” said Jim Fields, PITT OHIO’s Chief Operating Officer.  “If we expect to have happy customers, we have to look at the people who take care of our customer, the people who interact with them every day.  Happy and engaged employees are the most effective at taking care of our customers in a pleasant way.” 

“I would like to say thank you to the PITT OHIO employees who day in and day out make our company a Top Workplace,” Brian  McGuire, PITT OHIO’s Human Resources Vice President.  “This award is the result of a clear vision provided by PITT OHIO leadership and the dedication and engagement practiced by all employees every day.  I am proud to be a part of this organization and work with so many outstanding employees who also appreciate all that PITT OHIO provides to them.”
