ALOM Named a 2018 Top Workplace by Bay Area News Group

ALOM, a global leader in supply chain management, has been selected for the fifth consecutive year as one of The Bay Area News Group’s Top 100 Workplaces. The award was based solely on employee feedback gathered through an anonymous third-party survey measuring several aspects of workplace culture, including alignment, execution, and connection, and administered by Energage, LLC, a leading provider of technology-based employee engagement tools.

“ALOM’s culture of innovation and growth is a direct result of our talented and dedicated employees. From our founding as a Silicon Valley pioneer in supply chain management, to today when advanced technology has transformed the way products communicate, are made and delivered, our team has driven our growth and success by consistently delivering breakthroughs in order fulfillment efficiency, impeccable customer service and quality. Together it’s also our privilege to be responsible philanthropic members of our community,” said ALOM President and CEO Hannah Kain.

“Top Workplaces is more than just recognition,” said Doug Claffey, CEO of Energage, formerly WorkplaceDynamics. “Our research shows organizations that earn the award attract better talent, experience lower turnover, and are better equipped to deliver bottom-line results. Their leaders prioritize and carefully craft a healthy workplace culture that supports employee engagement.”

ALOM enables Fortune 100 companies and emerging leaders alike to compete and win with exceptional supply chain performance. Customers turn over part of, or entire supply chain operations to ALOM, which can implement turnkey worldwide product-to-market programs while ensuring world-class ISO certified quality and efficiencies.

With its new 120,000-square-foot addition to its US global headquarters here in Fremont, now totaling 270,000 square feet, ALOM is seeking energetic and talented operations and account management professionals to serve its growing business.

Since ALOM’s founding in 1997, Kain has cultivated a transparent and highly engaged workplace. Each year, all employees receive a one-page business plan on the direction of the company, as well as its mission, values and principles of doing business. ALOM conducts regular company meetings where all employees learn about the company’s performance, key achievements and challenges. These meetings also provide a forum for employee engagement and recognition.

“At ALOM we care deeply about diversity in the workplace and this is reflected both in our people and in their diversity of thought that we believe fuels innovation,” said ALOM Director of Human Resources, Claire Mendonca.

Additionally, ALOM trains its people in processes that ensure quality throughout its supply chain and promote the safety and development of each employee. As a company, it has earned internationally recognized process and quality management certifications such as ISO 9001, ISO 13485, and TL 9000. ALOM is FDA registered and Privacy Shield certified. It offers over 100 training courses a year spanning business and technical skills, safety, health and wellness.

ALOM is committed to principals of diversity and social responsibility and encourages its employees to support local charitable organizations. Volunteer initiatives include:
