Redline Plastics has placed an emphasis on company culture to make its manufacturing enterprise stand out to Gen Z talent and diverse jobseekers.
“Employees at Redline Plastics enjoy working here due to our unique and engaging culture, which is embodied by our ‘How We Redline’ cultural behaviors,” says President Nick Murray. “These behaviors emphasize integrity, safety, passion and teamwork.”
The company has focused on an inclusive, fun and dynamic culture. This includes forgoing a traditional mission statement in favor of straightforward and punchy principles such as ‘Do the Right Thing. Always,’ ‘Shut Up and Listen,’ ‘Don’t be a Jackass,’ ‘Don’t Die,’ and ‘Recognize Awesome.’
Redline still offers the traditional and generous benefits employees look for, such as a bonus incentive plan, retirement/pension plan, health coverage for full-time employees, EAP, free urgent care visits and an on-site nurse. It also focuses on mentoring, cross‑training and leadership development.
The company is committed to inclusivity and has a no-nonsense policy against negative behavior. Furthermore, Redline seeks to recruit a diverse workforce, working with community organizations and job fairs that target bilingual and multicultural talent. Company communications such as training materials, job postings and announcements are translated into Spanish.
Activities at Redline are aimed at teamwork and camaraderie and offers prizes for safety, attendance and employees who exemplify company values.
“These practices not only celebrate personal and professional milestones, but also strengthen our workplace culture, creating an environment where employees feel valued and recognized for their hard work and life events,” Murray says.
