Only Wisconsin company to be named Top 10
(CSRwire) Racine, Wis. - For the second year in a row, SC Johnson is delighted
to announce the company has been listed in the Top 10 of the "100 Best
Places to Work For" in America, according to FORTUNE magazine. The company
ranks 10 on this year's list.
"As a family company, SC Johnson's unique culture is based on respect,
fairness, inclusion and fun in the workplace," said SC Johnson Chairman
and CEO Fisk Johnson. "Our ranking on the list is based in large part on
the opinions of the people who work here, and that means a great deal to
me that those working at the company truly feel that SCJ is a great place
to work."
In addition to the Top 10 overall ranking, SC Johnson was also recognized
for paid sabbaticals, telecommuting, excellent compensation practices, and
unusual perks such as retiree lifetime memberships to the company's fitness
and aquatic center. SC Johnson was also commended for its devoted workforce
and low turnover rate of 2 percent.

Places to Work For" six times, including the past four consecutive years
among the top third. The company was also featured in the best-selling
