HanesBrands, Winston-Salem, N.C., has been honored by the Great Place to Work Institute for its workplace practices in its El Salvador, Honduras and the Dominican Republic manufacturing plants.
The Great Place to Work Institute named Hanes the third best multinational company to work for in Central America and the Caribbean where the company has nearly 30,000 employees. The company was ranked the second best place to work in both El Salvador and Honduras — the first ranking ever for an apparel manufacturer in Central America.
Great Place to Work gathers data from employee surveys that provide a clear picture of the state of the company’s culture benchmarked against other companies. The rankings are predominantly based on employees’ responses to the Trust Index Survey, which measures employee perception of the workplace, as well as institute’s culture audit, which is completed by management and evaluated by an independent Great Place to Work team.
Hanes primarily manufactures its garments in company-owned plants in the United States, Mexico, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Honduras and Vietnam.
Hanes was honored at the Great Place to Work awards ceremony for Central America held in Panama in conjunction with news media partner Revista Summa of Latin America. A separate awards ceremony for the Dominican Republic will be held later this month.
