Perdue Farms has been named the winner of a Silver Stevie Award for Most Valuable Employer in the COVID-19 Response category in the fifth annual Stevie Awards for Great Employers, which recognize the world’s best employers and the human resources professionals, teams, achievements and HR-related products and suppliers who help to create and drive great places to work. The COVID-19 response categories were created this year to honor the contributions of HR individuals, teams, and entire organizations that have worked valiantly over the past months to keep employees safe, healthy, employed, paid and informed.
“As a fourth-generation, family-owned company in our 100th year, it’s in our nature to put our people first, and COVID-19 is no exception,” said Perdue Farms’ CEO Randy Day. “This recognition reinforces the commitment to our associates since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic when we responded swiftly by instituting extensive incremental safety measures and continued to add to these measures as CDC guidance evolved. In these uncertain times, we remain committed to keeping our associates supported, protected and informed as they continue to serve as frontline heroes in America’s food supply chain.”
