LAVAL,
QC, March 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ - Alimentation
Couche-Tard Inc. ("Couche-Tard" or the "Corporation"), a global
leader in convenience and mobility, has once again won the 2024
Gallup Exceptional Workplace Award (GEWA). It is the third
consecutive year that Couche-Tard has received the award, which
recognizes the world's most engaged workplace cultures.
"Congratulations to the 60 organizations that have redefined
what it means to be a great place to work. Your commitment to
creating environments where employees are listened to, valued and
positioned to use their strengths every day is what sets you apart.
Thank you for setting a new global standard in what it means to be
a thriving workplace," said Jon
Clifton, Gallup chief executive officer.
The GEWA winners' ratio of engaged employees to actively
disengaged employees is 11 times higher than the global average.
Worldwide, only 23% of employees are engaged — that is, committed
to their work and connected to their workplace — and just 33% of
employees in the U.S. workforce are engaged. Seventy percent of
employees at winning GEWA organizations are engaged.
With workplaces around the world continuing to experience
disruption, Gallup recognized Couche-Tard for its ability to engage
and develop its people in innovative ways.
"Creating a great experience for our customers begins with
having engaged teams. Our annual myVOICE engagement survey,
facilitated by Gallup, helps us continue improving in our efforts
to foster an environment where our people can thrive, grow in their
careers, and be their authentic selves," said Ina Strand, Chief People Officer at Couche-Tard.
"With record participation in this past year's survey, we're
honored that our investment in our employees' growth and engagement
has been recognized with the GEWA for a third consecutive
year."
"There is nothing more important to me than protecting and
promoting the One Team culture we have fostered at Couche-Tard,"
said Brian Hannasch, Couche-Tard President and CEO. "As this
recognition from Gallup shows, we have continued to live by our
values, and our people have continued to feel heard, valued and
respected at work. Looking ahead, we will identify ways to
further build on our record engagement and our winning
workplace."
Gallup's meta-analysis on team engagement and performance is the
most comprehensive workplace study ever conducted, with data on
more than 2 million employees in 276 organizations across 54
industries and 96 countries. Highly engaged organizations
significantly outperform their peers in important business
outcomes, including customer ratings, profitability, productivity,
turnover, safety incidents, shrinkage, absenteeism, quality,
wellbeing and organizational citizenship.
