EANJ Members Recognized as Exceptional Employers

Jun 2002

(Verona, NJ)  At its 86th Annual Meeting, the Employers Association of New Jersey (EANJ) has recognized four New Jersey employers for exceptional workplace practices.  Established in 1916, EANJ has strived to apply the collective experience of the entire membership to help each and every member.  As an outgrowth of the state's premier employer's association, the Harold R. Hawkey Exceptional Employer Award was created to encourage excellence and replication of best workplace practices. 

The 2002 award recipients are:  AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS, L. A. DREYFUS, MYRON MANUFACTURING AND TITAN TOOL, INC.

AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS (AICPA), located in Jersey City, is a professional membership organization serving Certified Public Accountants since 1887.  Through their commitment to quality and excellence in all facets of operations, AICPA has developed the System to Accept Responsibility for Job Performance Program (S.T.A.R. Program).  This program is designed to correct employee performance problems by focusing on individual responsibility and decision making, not punishment.  The majority of participants in this program have shown improvement, most in the early stages of the program.  The S.T.A.R. program helps the AICPA stay true to their values of open and candid communication based on honesty, trust, respect and conflict resolution. www.aicpa.org

L. A. DREYFUS is a manufacturer of chewing gum base and is located in Edison, NJ.  The company's best practice is an idea generating program know as the Personal Initiative Program.  The program works similar to a suggestion system, but what makes it unique is that employees are required to follow their idea/suggestion through to implementation and they are awarded based on cost savings to the company.  Results are demonstrated with an overall implementation rate of 69% and an annual cost savings of $582,239.  The company strives to create a culture of empowerment where a high performing workforce can embrace the opportunity to have a direct impact on the success of their company. 

MYRON MANUFACTURING, headquartered in Maywood, is a manufacturer of mail order personalized business gifts.  The company's goal is to empower employees to be the best at what they do.  Through extensive work/life programs, personal and professional training, teambuilding and leadership development, the company has been able to increase profitability, lower turnover, and raise levels of employee morale and satisfaction.  Myron is a two-time recipient of this award for their consistent efforts towards workplace excellence.  www.myron.com

TITAN TOOL, INC. is located in Oakland and is a manufacturer and distributor of airless paint spray equipment.  The company's passion over the past two years has been safety improvement.  Through extensive training, employee directed safety audits and monthly safety meetings, they have been able to reduce their OSHA Recordable Incidents by 65% since 1999.  They are dedicated to showing employees that their safety and welfare is the company's number one concern.  www.titantool.com
