Commitment to Our Employee Owners
The pride we have in Guckenheimer, our quality food and the service we provide to our customers, has contributed significantly to our success and growth. Mutual respect for one another is a basic ingredient, as we work together in achieving our business objectives. Communication is also important, and we believe the ease and freedom with which communication occurs is vital to our future success.
We are committed to the virtues of honesty, integrity, loyalty and hard work, and believe they are entirely possible to achieve in our daily work.
We provide our employee owners with the following commitments:
- Guckenheimer pays wages that exceed the overall wages paid by our competitors in the markets in which we operate.
- We provide a quality benefit package that is competitive with the overall benefit packages provided by our competitors in the markets in which we operate. This includes eligibility for Health Insurance benefits. We will work to keep the cost of participation in our health plans low and affordable.
- Our employee owners are treated fairly and with dignity and respect.
- Guckenheimer provides a safe and healthful work environment.
- We are committed to equal employment opportunity for all our employees.
- Guckenheimer establishes and follows all policies outlined in our Employee Handbook.
- We will work to continually increase the value of our “Employee Stock Ownership Plan” (ESOP).
- We will provide an avenue for redress when employees feel their rights have been violated.
- Guckenheimer is committed to comply with all laws applicable to our business, especially those that relate to treatment of employees. Any problems in these areas will be corrected promptly.
We greatly value all of our employees and the daily contributions they make to the satisfaction of our clients, and to our operations and reputation. We know that our staff is our greatest asset. We are proud of the significant strides we have made over the years to improve the quality of life and economic security of our employees and their families. Our goal is to work constructively with each employee to provide fair, competitive wages, and comprehensive, high-quality benefits that help ensure the health, well-being, and the careers of each member of the Guckenheimer Family.
We are committed to be the “Employer of Choice” among culinary professionals.
