- Shaw is the largest employer in Andalusia.
Training magazine recently recognized Shaw Industries Group, Inc. as a Training Top 125 company for the 15th consecutive year.
Training Top 125 ranks companies’ excellence and commitment to employer-sponsored training and development programs. The Top 125 ranking is determined by assessing a range of qualitative and quantitative factors, including financial investment in employee development, the scope of development programs and how closely development efforts are linked to business goals and objectives.
Shaw’s ranking reflects its focus on education and training efforts that extend beyond its more than 22,000 associates to customers, the community and the future workforce.
Shaw provides more than a million hours of training and education annually to its associates — who range from machinists and marketers, scientists and salespeople to designers, nurses and network administrators — to promote innovation, fresh thinking and dedication to quality.
“Our ability to attract and retain the best possible talent and help them achieve their highest potential is key to remaining competitive in an ever-evolving global economy and a key factor in achieving Shaw’s vision to create a better future,” said Mike Fromm, Shaw’s chief human resources officer.
