BAYPORT, Minn., July 26, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Andersen Corporation, manufacturer of America’s most loved brand of windows and doors*, has been named a Forbes America’s Best Employer for Women 2023 for the second year in a row.
“Our workforce is driven by the efforts of women, who represent 30 percent of both our total workforce and management roles and above,” said Tracey Gibson, vice president and chief diversity officer at Andersen. “In an industry where women are vastly underrepresented, we are committed to gender parity and the advancement of women in manufacturing and take great pride in our long history of female representation at all levels of our organization.”
Honorees were chosen based on an independent survey by Statista Inc. Respondents were asked questions regarding the topics of age, gender equality, ethnicity, disability, LGBTQA+ and general diversity concerning their employer.
The survey collected responses from a vast sample of more than 60,000 U.S. employees working for companies employing at least 1,000 people within the United States. The sample included more than 40,000 women. Participants provided feedback on their organization’s status on working conditions, diversity and if they would recommend the employer to others. Female respondents were also asked to rate factors such as parental leave, discrimination and pay equity.
“Receiving this honor for the second consecutive year reflects our continuous efforts to make meaningful and sustainable progress by building diverse talent pipelines and refining internal programs with a focus on inclusion, retention and advancement,” said Gibson.
