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 Adds More Jobs for Increase in Truck Sales

Chrysler will be adding more jobs at a Ram pickup plant outside of Detroit. Thanks to a predicted upswing in sales due to the housing market seeing a rebound, Chrysler is anticipating truck sales to encounter a surge in sales.

Not too long ago, this story would’ve seemed like fantasy with both the housing market in the tank and the auto industry in a fast downward spiral. Chrysler has been turning it around, adding more and more jobs to Detroit. This will add 1,000 new jobs with the addition of a third shift to meet the rising demand. Another 250 jobs are planned to be added later down the road in 2014 at a Detroit engine plant.

Home construction is going through the best pace it’s had in four years. September was a huge victory for a business that’s been suffering for so long. Housing and truck purchasing have always had a symbiotic relationship. Another reason Chrysler is predicting a bump up in truck sales is due to the fact that the average truck is now 10 years old. Time to get into a new truck with that kind of age.

Detroit has been making its come-back, slowly but surely. Evidence to this is in the happenings in the auto industry, having their best year in a long time. It wasn’t too long ago that the sales that have been happening would’ve been more fantasy than reality. Chrysler in particular has been making sure that as the sales continue to come back to the company, so are the employees. Numerous plants across the nation are seeing new workers and additional shifts to keep up with the new demand being placed on them. From making more of award-winning Jeeps to the production of the hottest new sedan, the 2013 Dodge Dart. Chrysler isn’t done there, they just welcome a new batch of employees into their house.

ABC 12 is reporting that Chrysler has opened up their new Chrysler Group LLC Great Lakes Business Center building and is bringing in the staffing. They leased about 33,000 square feet of space on the top two floors of the 23 story former Dime Building. The signs have already put been into place on the outside of the building and the floors have been completely refurbished to accommodate the new staff. The space will house 70 employees from the Business Center.

“We’re proud to contribute to the continuing transformation of the Motor City,” said Reid Bigland, President and CEO of Dodge Brand and Head of US Sales, Chrysler Group. “I am thrilled that one of my teams will be embedded in the city that means so much to our company. Detroit is the home of the Jeep Grand Cherokee, Dodge Durango, SRT Viper, and a very critical part of Chrysler’s team.”
