Business Wire
Plantronics (NYSE:PLT), a pioneer in wearable technology,
announced that the company’s manufacturing facility in Tijuana,
Mexico, Plamex, has been named the “Best Place to Work” in Mexico
by the Great Place to Work Institute for the fourth consecutive
year, a distinction that continues to validate the facility’s
long-standing reputation as an exemplary business entity in the
region.
“We are very proud of everything the Plamex team has
accomplished,” said Alejandro Bustamante, senior vice president of
operations at Plantronics. “The Plamex culture is exemplary, the
way we live our values is second to none, and the employee
commitment to help deliver great results demonstrates that they are
happy with what they do. Plamex has become a benchmark in
Mexico.”
A great place to work, as defined by the Great Place to Work
Institute, is “a place in which you trust the people you work for,
have pride in what you do, and enjoy the people you work with.”
Employees from more than 500 companies participated in the Great
Place to Work Institute’s survey that ranks companies based on
credibility, respect, fairness, pride, and camaraderie.
Plamex - A Legacy of Excellence
Plamex has been in operation for more than 40 years, has more
than 2,000 employees, and provides more than 180 programs for their
associates. The secret is the Mission, Vision, and Values meetings,
a one-hour weekly meeting where Plamex leaders concentrate solely
on creative ways to improve the work environment by fostering a
place of respect and trust.
Programs at the Mexico facility include everything from mass
weddings each Valentine’s Day to educational opportunities that
help employees further their education. The educational support
programs at Plamex have helped employees attain more than 2,300
degrees. For the past five years, there have also been development
programs that have enabled more than 1,000 employees to grow into
new roles in the company rather than leaving Plantronics for
professional growth opportunities.
The Plantronics Mexico team also engages with the community on
many levels including outreach to orphanages, donations to the
community for natural disasters, reforestation efforts, and
education about recycling. They encourage employee and family
involvement and support the Children’s Orchestra, the DARE Program
and offer medical consultations to family members at their
facility.

excellence in environmental matters, community work, customer
satisfaction, and work safety. Previous awards include:
