For six consecutive years, the Fred Beans Automotive Group has earned a top ranking among the Best Places to Work in the Greater Philadelphia Region. The company has made the list every year it entered the contest. This year, Fred Beans placed second out of only six “extra-large” organizations (those with 500+ employees) named.
“As a ‘best place to work,’ we receive validation that our efforts to maintain a strong team are effective,” said Beth Beans Gilbert, vice president of Fred Beans Automotive Group.
Employee feedback solely determines Best Places to Work honorees. Each year, the Philadelphia Business Journal and Quantum Workplace, a provider of employee engagement software, partner to compile the list based on findings from an employee survey distributed to contest participants. Questions cover a range of topics including work environment, support of personal growth, benefits and trust in senior leadership.
“We have built a unique culture in the automotive world where we support each employee’s personal and professional growth,” said Gilbert. “We don’t want people to come to us for a job; we want them to join us to build a career.”
Included in that culture are opportunities for employees to participate in a Healthy Living Program at varying levels based on their own goals. “We offer programs and resources to help employees with mental and physical health, including 24-hour access to licensed clinicians through our partner, SupportLinc, and appointments with me to build individualized fitness and nutrition plans,” said Fred Beans Wellness Coordinator Andrea Volm.
Additional features that define Fred Beans Automotive Group’s workplace culture include:
- Opportunities for promotion and growth, ranging from tuition reimbursement to onsite Dale Carnegie leadership training and the Fred Beans Leadership Academy for employees moving into roles with increased responsibilities;
- Generous parental leave and paid time off, which includes paid time off for volunteering;
- Perks from employee discounts to inclusion in the top Performers Club for those who meet defined yearly goals; Club members earn a group trip with company management; and
- A genuine commitment to building a diverse team to bring new ideas and energy into the workplace.
