SC Johnson Response
4yThank you for taking time to share your feedback. We strive to create a positive, inclusive and unique workplace and we strongly believe SCJ people are able to achieve their best when they can collaborate and work together in person. We recognize this may not be the preference of some and appreciate that may be the case. But we are committed to maintaining our unique culture by attracting and retaining SCJ people who are aligned with our common values and purpose of working for a better world.
As a family company, we hold ourselves and our products to a higher standard. We’re working every day to do what’s right for people and the planet through many sustainability initiatives that span decades. You can read about some of those initiatives here: https://www.scjohnson.com/en/stories/sustainable-world/environment/2021/june/8-ways-sc-johnson-is-supporting-a-more-sustainable-world-for-your-family
Regarding returning to offices where local guidance has allowed, we have invested significant resources and have gone to great lengths in preparing our spaces for SCJ people to safely return to office. We have also offered additional benefits to help support SCJ people during these unique times, including childcare subsidies, testing, and vaccinations.
Because we make decisions with careful consideration for the environment and the families who use our products, we recognize that at times, it may feel as though we aren’t moving fast enough. We believe in committing the necessary time and effort to collaborate cross-functionally to ensure we’re meeting customers’ needs and delivering the appropriate strategies, programs and solutions for our business.
Please know that only job-related factors – such as job performance, training, experience or specialized skills that are required to properly perform the job – may be used as a basis for employment selection.
Lastly, we wanted to share that we are proud to offer comprehensive benefits such as the ones you mentioned and many more. From expanded benefits that help employees stay healthy to flexible schedule options that help employees manage personal and work responsibilities to workplace leadership opportunities, our operations around the world offer a variety of programs to support the varying needs of SCJ people – not only in their work, but also in their lives outside of the office. We often hear from US-based employees that one of their favorite perks is the extended shutdown enjoyed during the holidays to recharge and reconnect with family.
