The packaging industry is a capital-intensive business in a marketplace that is not growing, and at times shrinks due to offshore movements. Therefore, the most important factor that makes Bennett Packaging a solid and healthy company is our fabulous employees. Our employees have increased productivity year by year, and we take pride in investing in our employees.
Bennett Packaging has always offered education and training programs for our employees because we know that people want to do a great job.
Therefore, we give them the tools to do their best, which is ultimately the best thing we can do for our customers.
Examples include:
- Employees are sent to Clemson University in South Carolina to attend the nation's premier school on corrugated printing.
- All of our employees have participated in our 12-step training program.
- We pay for schooling that will help employees in their job and further their education.
- We pay for all types of training including computer, technology, diversity, OSHA, employment law, safety, and sexual harassment.
- We send our press operators to courses to keep them highly trained on the latest technology; we reward them for extensive cross-training??
- We maintain extensive training for our managers.
- Our truck drivers receive extensive driver safety training.
Bennett Packaging employees are valued, supported, encouraged, and rewarded. One outcome is that our employees have helped develop a new, progressive company culture that has streamlined our business processes. Participation in employee incentive programs, being publicly honored for service, and building camaraderie with co-workers gives our employees a sense of pride and of ownership.
