At Fields Chrysler Jeep Dodge, we may just be one dealership, but we're proud to be a part of the Chrysler network, which extends throughout the country and around the world. That's why we're thrilled to hear that Chrysler Group has been named to the list of "Top Workplaces" in Michigan by Detroit Free Press.
We may be a few hundred miles from our Chrysler counterparts in Michigan, but we join in their celebration. It's just another example of how our brand works hard in all that we do to provide excellent service in every facet of our business and our dedication to making each and every person that we work with, from employee to customer, happy.
Detroit Free Press also named Chrysler Group Chairman and CEO Sergio Marchionne to its list of "Top Workplace Standouts" for Leadership, a distinction that is awarded based on meeting or exceeding employee expectations. Through every level of our company, quality and performance help Chrysler to stand out from the competition.
These achievements are the result of a workplace satisfaction survey provided by independent research firm Workplace Dynamics. After nearly 300 employees nominated Chrysler Group, the company invited employees to participate in June of this year. The company arrived at the 21st spot compared with others in the "large employers" (those with 500 or more employees) category. This year 237 Michigan companies participated in the survey, which is extended to any public or private company or organization employing at least 50 people.
We're thrilled about this distinction and all others that Chrysler Group has received, from 13 appearances on the Working Mother "100 Best Companies" list to seven instances of recognition from the Human Rights Campaign Foundation for being a leading corporation that supports diversity and inclusion. Similarly, Chrysler Group was named a "Top 50 Companies for Diversity" by Diversity Inc. in 2011 and 2012.
From our locations in Detroit to our Jeep dealers in Chicago, Chrysler Group is eager to provide employees and customers with the tools and resources that they need to enjoy their time with us and achieve success.
