Company recognizes employees' commitment to
excellence, continued flexibility with bonuses up to $1,000
LENEXA,
Kan., Aug. 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Hostess
Brands, Inc. (NASDAQ: TWNK) today announced it awarded bonuses to
each of its nearly 2,000 bakery and warehouse employees up to
$1,000 in recognition of their hard
work and dedication over the past several months.
"At Hostess, our people are our top priority, and we are pleased
to reward and recognize the flexibility and commitment of our
bakery and warehouse workers with 'thank you' bonuses for the
second time this year." said Rob
Weber, chief people officer. "Our frontline workers are
essential to delivering the high-quality, great-tasting Hostess and
Voortman snacks. We are so thankful to our employees who, despite
continued supply chain challenges, have remained flexible with
their schedules to always meet the needs of our customers and
consumers."
With supply chain shortages disrupting ingredient availability,
Hostess Brands had to stay nimble to produce its iconic snacks. At
times, this meant adjusting production plans and rescheduling
deliveries, which required employees to adjust their hours to
continue delivering indulgent snacks that inspire moments of joy
for consumers.
Despite difficulties in the supply chain, Hostess Brands'
employees continued to operate safely and efficiently. For example,
the company's national warehouse in Edgerton, Kansas, currently has a 1.26 Total
Incident Rate (TIR), which is the number of recordable incidents
that a company experiences per 100 full-time employees in any given
timeframe. To put that in perspective, the national TIR average for
warehouses is 5.1. And throughout the company's bakery network and
warehouse, there hasn't been a lost-time accident in more than 60
days.
Hostess Brands operates five North American bakeries in
Chicago; Emporia, Kansas; Indianapolis; Columbus, Georgia; and Burlington, Ontario, Canada. Its facilities
are rated A or AA under the global quality and food safety audit
standard by the British Retail Consortium.
