Dot Foods named Great Place To Work for fourth consecutive year

MOUNT STERLING, Ill. — Dot Foods, Inc., North America’s largest food industry redistributor, recently was certified by Great Place To Work for the fourth year in a row. The award is based on what current employees say about their experience working at Dot Foods.

Great Place To Work is an authority on workplace culture, employee experience and leadership behaviors that deliver market-leading revenue, employee retention and increased innovation.

“At Dot Foods, we strive to be a great place to work by fostering a culture of respect, growth, and collaboration,” Mandi Clark, vice president of human resources at Dot, said in a press release. “When our people feel valued and supported, they thrive and contribute to our collective success. Our commitment to creating a positive work environment is reflected in our continuous efforts to listen to and act on employee feedback.”

Sarah Lewis-Kulin, vice president of global recognition at Great Place To Work, emphasizes that certification is the sole official recognition earned by the real-time feedback of employees regarding their company culture.

More than 7,000 Dot Foods and Dot Transportation employees across the United States and Canada had a chance to complete a survey during four weeks this summer. When asked if they considered Dot a great place to work, 80 percent of respondents answered yes.

“The most valuable part of the survey process for us at Dot is the ability to gather so much feedback directly from our team,” Clark said. “It allows us to understand what areas are most meaningful to our people and where we need to focus our attention moving forward. Every year we make changes throughout our business that are the direct result of employee feedback.”

Founded in 1960 and headquartered in Mount Sterling, Dot Foods serves every state and more than 55 countries with a product offering of 125,000 items from 1,020 food industry manufacturers.
