TAKKION is proud to be Certified™ by Great Place To Work® for the very first time. The prestigious award is based entirely on what current employees say about their experience working at TAKKION. This year, 79% of employees said it’s a great place to work – compared to just 57% of employees at a typical U.S.-based company.
Great Place To Work® is the global authority on workplace culture, employee experience, and the leadership behaviors proven to deliver market-leading revenue, employee retention and increased innovation.
“Great Place To Work Certification is a highly coveted achievement that requires consistent and intentional dedication to the overall employee experience,” says Sarah Lewis-Kulin, the Vice President of Global Recognition at Great Place To Work. She emphasizes that Certification is the sole official recognition earned by the real-time feedback of employees regarding their company culture. “By successfully earning this recognition, it is evident that TAKKION stands out as one of the top companies to work for, providing a great workplace environment for its employees.”
A Milestone Moment for TAKKION
“We are honored to be recognized as a Great Place To Work-Certified™ company for the first time,” said Jim Orr, CEO of TAKKION. “This recognition is especially meaningful because it reflects the voices of our employees. The culture we’ve built together empowers our people to succeed, and that strength translates directly into the trust and performance our customers expect from us. We remain committed to fostering growth, opportunity, and innovation as we continue moving energy forward.”
Pete Bierden, President of TAKKION, added, “We are grateful to be recognized as a Great Place To Work-Certified™ company. One of the things our employees told us they value most is our commitment to safety — and we know that true safety comes from creating a workplace where people feel supported and listened to. This recognition is an honor, but more importantly, it’s an opportunity to learn from our employees’ feedback and continue improving together.”
Building a Culture of Trust and Growth
“Achieving this certification for the first time is an amazing achievement,” shared Marie Wardenski, Chief Human Resources Officer at TAKKION. “We are proud that 79% of our employees consider TAKKION a great place to work — well above the national average. This further solidifies TAKKION as a key player in the renewable energy service
industry. We will continue our focus on employee safety and well-being, along with professional development, continuing to drive the success of both our people and our business.”
What Makes TAKKION’s Culture Great
At TAKKION, employee experience is at the heart of everything we do. Over the past year, we have increased communication from executive leadership through the TAKKION Leadership Address and created more opportunities for engagement between employees and their supervisors. We’ve also expanded our training programs to support career growth and strengthened wellness and safety initiatives to ensure every employee feels supported both inside and outside of work. Together, these efforts help us build a workplace where people feel engaged, motivated, and proud to contribute — and this recognition is proof that it’s working.
