Why Core Products is Proud to be Employee-Owned
In Wisconsin, people are a core value. We check on our neighbors, share our hot dish recipes and do what we can to make folks happy. Our history is rich with stories of people coming together to make life better for each other. When workers weren’t getting a fair shake in the 19th century, Wisconsin’s bricklayers, carpenters, printers and other trades people helped lead a movement that would go on to win rights and better treatment not only for themselves but workers all around the country. These values stay with Wisconsin to this day: work hard and take care of the community. For business owners, that means treating employees right.
Core Products laid our roots in Wisconsin, where we continue to manufacture orthopedic and therapeutic products to improve the lives of our customers. And true to those roots, we value the welfare, dignity and happiness of our gifted employees. Without the hard work of these skilled and dedicated people, Core Products wouldn’t be able to have the reach that we do. In honor of that truth, we provide our employees with an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP), making Core Products employee-owned.
We’d like to tell you why we’re proud of that.
Our Employees Know They’re Valued
Most jobs out there buy their employee’s time without giving them the credit they deserve or sharing the value they create. We take a different approach by providing an ESOP, and the result is our teams know they’re working for folks who genuinely value them. Companies like Core Products that provide their employees with an ESOP consistently see higher engagement and overall satisfaction among their employees. Undervaluing employees isn’t just bad for business, it’s bad for individuals and our shared communities outside of work. By sharing ownership of Core Products with the people who make our products possible, our employees have tangible evidence of their importance here. They take joy and share pride in their work, and bring that sense of value home. We’re proud to be part of creating a community of value.
Our Employees Do Great Work
Everything we make at Core Products carries a 90-day, money-back satisfaction guarantee and we back our products with long-term warranties. We wouldn’t be able to do that unless we genuinely believed in what we put out there. Thanks to our employees, we can. Employee-owned companies tend to outperform others because every win is a shared experience. When work-ethic is supported by shared outcomes, great things happen. With a sense of ownership and a team mentality, the people of Core Products work together with a common goal. They know that when they succeed in their position, their coworkers, families and customers all benefit. We’re proud that our employees care about their work because care is what Core Products is all about. It’s a Wisconsin thing.
We Think It’s the Right Thing to Do
When you see somebody drop a dollar and you pick it up and hand it to them, it feels good. Why? Because you did the right thing. Doing right by others is something most people can take pride in. We set an example from the top down that we’re in this together. We see that translated into how our team members interact with one another. Granted, they’re all good folks, but there’s something special about how they care for each other and respect each other. That care is extended to our customers in the quality of our products and quality of life they help to provide. We’re proud of the atmosphere in our facilities in Wisconsin as well as Canada. Employee ownership is a big part of that dynamic.
