At Morris Packaging, we believe in delivering quality products and fostering a workplace that values diversity, promotes community support, and prioritizes the well-being of our employees. As part of our commitment to Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth, we strive to create an environment where every team member feels valued, respected, and empowered.
Building a Culture of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
Embracing Diversity for a Stronger Workforce: We actively seek talent from diverse backgrounds to enrich our team with different perspectives, reflecting the communities we serve. As a member of Jobs for Humanity and certified by the National Minority Supplier Business Council as a Minority Business Enterprise (MBE), we ensure our hiring practices are inclusive and equitable.
Ensuring Equity in Opportunities: Equal opportunities for growth are ensured through fair hiring practices and transparent promotion pathways. We benchmark and assess employee wages and benefits regularly to retain staff and promote internally, creating a stable and safe work environment.
Creating an Inclusive Environment: Our commitment to inclusivity is reflected through our efforts in facilitating affinity groups and open dialogue forums, which foster a collaborative environment. We also partner with local correction centers for second-chance employment and offer an apprentice program in Jefferson City, MO, to extend opportunities to younger generations.
Strengthening Our Communities Through Active Support
Our belief in social responsibility extends beyond philanthropy—it’s ingrained in the way we conduct business. By championing diversity, participating in community initiatives, and fostering inclusivity, we strive to make a positive and lasting impact.
We partner with organizations like Big Brother Big Sister, Special Olympics, and the Boys and Girls Club to support and uplift our community. Our commitment extends beyond volunteering, as we actively make financial contributions to local events and initiatives that align with our mission to promote inclusive economic growth and community well-being. Through these efforts, Morris Packaging ensures our community support is both meaningful and far-reaching.
Fostering a Collaborative and Engaged Work Environment
At Morris Packaging, we are dedicated to making sure our team feels valued, supported, and connected. That's why we invest in different activities to engage our employees and show appreciation, such as company outings and team lunches.
Employee Engagement Activities:
One great example is our celebration of baseball's opening day, spearheaded by Steve Loethen, our plant manager. This event, which is open to all employees, has significantly boosted team spirit and resulted in higher employee engagement, improved product quality, and increased production levels.
Supporting Our Team Beyond the Workplace:
At Morris Packaging, we understand the importance of work-life balance and make every effort to support our team both inside and outside the workplace. We offer a variety of shifts: 8-hour and 12-hour shifts across days, evenings, and weekends to accommodate our team's needs as much as possible.
Recognizing that life necessitates flexibility, we foster an open environment where team members can freely discuss their needs, ensuring we live up to our commitment to balance and support through all life's stages. These initiatives are a testament to our determination to promote both professional and personal growth for every member of our team.
