Chrysler Group One of the Top Workplaces in Michigan

The Detroit Free Press has announced that the list for their fifth annual “Top Workplaces in the State of Michigan” is out and Chrysler has made the cut.

The way the process works in being included on the list began in June 2012 when about 300 employees nominated the company via a survey.  Chrysler was ranked number 21 in the large employer category, which is where companies have 500 workers or more.  That’s out of the 237 companies that reside in Michigan that were also surveyed.

Not only that, but the CEO of Chrysler, Sergio Marchionne also got a special mention.  He is on the list of “Top Workplaces Standouts” for Leadership.  That’s for the employers who ranked high in not only meeting but also exceeding the expectations of their employees.

“We are honored and humbled to receive such a meaningful acknowledgement from our employees, validating that Chrysler Group is, indeed, an employer of choice,” said Nancy A. Rae, the Senior VP, Human Resources, at Chrysler Group.  “”Chrysler Group is committed to providing and sustaining a workplace environment where employees can thrive and achieve world class levels of performance, innovation, and success.”

To someone who has been following the business of Chrysler of late, it doesn’t come as a surprise that they are popular with employees.  They have been returning jobs to the plants as demand for their products increase and have earned numerous awards for their progressive practices including recognition from the HRC and Diversity Inc.

Chrysler Named Top Human Resources Executive

Chrysler is used to winning awards for their cars, but this one is a tad different. Nancy Rae, the Senior Vice President, Human Resources, Chrysler Group, has been given an award by the American Society of Employers. She has been named Human Resources Executive of the Year.

Every year, the ASE looks at several individuals who are in their working lives, and personal lives, outstanding human resource executives. Anyone that gets nominated is then evaluated on their commitment to the HR profession. Their successes of the past and current, including their impact on the lives of others are taken into account as well.

The category for the award that Rae received was in “Organizations with 1,000 or more Michigan Employees.” The ceremony was held at the ASE’s Annual Summit at the Detroit Athletic Club.

Rae has been a vital part of the Chrysler Group Management team. Under her, the company’s workforce has grown by more than 16,000 since 2009. She was in charge of a comprehensive HR strategy to support Chrysler’s high-performance work culture. Rae also is the co-Chair of Chrysler’s Diversity Council. With her at the helm, Chrysler has received numerous awards for their company practices, including “10 Best Companies for Working Mothers” and named in Hispanic Business magazine’s Diversity Elite 60.

Nancy Rae has been in the automotive business for more than 30 years and has been the the top Human Resources position for Chrysler since 2000.
