GDM Plásticos is a Great Place To Work Certified Company
Achieving the Great Place To Work (GPTW) Certification is an important milestone in any company's journey — and for GDM Plásticos, it represents the recognition of a commitment that has always been at the core of our business: valuing people.
We are now officially certified as an excellent place to work. This means that, beyond our performance in the market, we have also earned the respect and trust of our employees, who expressed their satisfaction with GDM’s organizational environment through an anonymous and confidential survey.
This achievement fills us with pride and, above all, motivates us to keep evolving together.
What is the Great Place To Work Certification?
The GPTW seal is a certification granted to companies that offer a healthy, respectful, and inspiring work environment — and, most importantly, this evaluation is based directly on employees' feedback.
The organizational climate survey is anonymous and addresses key aspects such as trust in leadership, pride in being part of the company, teamwork, transparency in communication, and mutual respect. To receive the seal, at least 70% of employees must positively evaluate the company.
It is an internationally recognized methodology, used by companies that aim not only to improve their results but also to strengthen their culture and reputation as an employer brand.
Why is this achievement so important for GDM?
GDM Plásticos is in constant evolution, but we never give up our essence: working together, growing together. That’s why knowing our employees recognize and value the environment we have built together is a clear sign that we are on the right path.
More than just a seal, this certification shows we have a team that feels welcomed, respected, and motivated to give their best every day. And for us, this is as valuable as any financial indicator.
This recognition also strengthens our position as an innovative and human-centric company in the technical plastic packaging sector, showing the market — clients, suppliers, and talents — that GDM is a place where people truly matter.
How was the certification process?
The journey to achieve the GPTW Certification starts with the decision to listen carefully and openly to what our team has to say. To do so, we participated in the survey conducted by the official GPTW platform, ensuring complete confidentiality and freedom for everyone to express themselves.
The questionnaire was applied to a minimum representative sample of our employees and evaluated key aspects of the organizational climate. With the results in hand, we met the criteria required for certification: over 70% favorable evaluations and a high participation rate.
More than just numbers, the results brought us valuable learnings and improvement opportunities that we are already putting into practice.
What changes with the GPTW Certification?
With the Great Place To Work Certification, we take another step toward our purpose. This recognition:
- - Strengthens our organizational culture, validating the actions and values we already practice daily;
- - Reinforces our commitment to people, showing they are at the center of our decisions;
- - Increases the attractiveness of our employer brand, helping us attract and retain the best talents;
- - Inspires continuous improvements, as the survey results clearly point out where we can evolve.
This achievement is not the finish line, but the beginning of a new phase, with more awareness and responsibility about the impact we have on the lives of those who work with us.
What’s next? The future of GDM as a great place to work
The GPTW Certification is valid for one year, and we are already preparing to maintain — and exceed — this standard in the upcoming cycles. This means investing even more in:
- - Training and professional development;
- - Transparent and open communication;
- - Recognition and appreciation of individual and collective achievements;
- - Initiatives focused on well-being, emotional health, and quality of work life.
We will continue to listen to our team and promote real changes based on the needs of those who are with us every day.
Being a Great Place To Work Certified company reinforces everything GDM believes in: that extraordinary results are the consequence of fulfilled and engaged people.
We remain committed to an environment where everyone feels respected, welcomed, and encouraged to grow — both professionally and personally. The achievement of the GPTW seal belongs to GDM, but above all, it belongs to the people who build our story with dedication and purpose.
