Shaw Industries Group, Inc. has ranked among Forbes’ America’s Best Employers 2016. This makes the company’s second time on the list.

We strive daily to create an environment that fosters their development, feeds their passion, and encourages collaboration and innovation.”
Approximately 30,000 employees at companies with at least 2,500 people were surveyed for the America’s Best Employers List.

Participation in the survey was voluntary, and respondents were recruited from thousands of sources to maximize reach and representation.
“At Shaw, our approach to talent management is fully integrated with our business strategy,” said Shaw Vice President of Human Resources Paul Richard. “By clearly defining how each role connects with the organizational goals, we are able to provide clarity around leadership expectation at every level and what is required to advance through the company.
