ALOM Named a 2019 Top Workplace by Bay Area News Group

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

“As a company that provides excellence in supply chain delivery and innovative technology solutions to our customers, ALOM relies on the dedication, inventiveness and expertise of our employees. We pride ourselves in igniting our employees’ enthusiasm for achieving new levels of efficiency and quality,” commented ALOM President and CEO Hannah Kain. She added: “Our ability to attract and retain top-notch talent is a significant competitive advantage.”

ALOM’s commitment to diversity and inclusion goes hand in hand with cultivating energetic teams that work collaboratively. “As a woman-owned company, ALOM was founded on the principles of enabling each employee to contribute meaningfully to our company’s success,” said ALOM Director of Human Resources, Claire Mendonca.

“Top Workplaces is more than just recognition,” said Doug Claffey, CEO of Energage. “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 is known for excellence in designing and implementing global supply chain solutions for its prestigious and brand conscious customers winning accolades from customers and industry associations alike. In 2018, ALOM was selected the Women in Technology-Silicon Valley employer of the year. ALOM staff members have been selected for technology leadership awards, won the global gold Stevie award for best employee and been featured as the 2019 Supply Chain Pro to Know.

As a result, ALOM is attracting talented operations, technology development, and account management professionals to serve its growing business.

Since ALOM’s founding in 1997, Kain has cultivated a transparent and inclusive 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.

Additionally, ALOM trains its people in processes that ensure quality throughout its supply chain and promote the safety and development of each employee. The company emphasizes training and continuous development, and each employee is offered a customized training plan. This year the company is launching ALOM U, employee development and succession planning program providing each employee with training resources and a development plan to gain additional job knowledge and skills. Included in ALOM U are over 100 training programs spanning business and technical skills, safety, health and wellness.

“Becoming a Top Workplace isn’t something organizations can buy,” Claffey said. “Its achievement organizations have worked for and a distinction that gives them a competitive advantage.”
