Certified Angus Beef ® Brand Update 2021

S
hared love for beef. Dedication to customer
care. Responsibility for family and community:
three of many reasons our team answers your
call and creates tools you need.
At Certified Angus Beef, company culture is a top
priority. It aligns with the mission to help deliver the
best beef to a global customer base. Throughout the
pandemic, how the Certified Angus Beef team worked
together became increasingly important with the shift to
entirely remote and back to the office in August 2020.
“One of our greatest strengths as a team is camaraderie
and collaboration,” says Sherry Leggett, director of
people and culture. “People are the heart of our
business, and if we take care of our people, they will
take care of the brand.”
In April, Great Place to Work certification recognized
the brand for superior employee satisfaction and a hightrust
culture. The award is based on an anonymous,
independent Trust Index survey that showed 95% of
employees identify Certified Angus Beef as a great place
to work. U.S. companies average 59%.
The team shared 98% or higher marks for feeling
welcome when joining the company, celebrating special
events and receiving unique benefits, which facilitate
and encourage employee wellness, enhance productivity
and ensure a healthy work environment. Staff also
identified leadership as honest and ethical in business
practices.
As a brand centered on heartland values, these same
factors are just as essential for growing the livelihood of
stakeholders from family farmers to chefs.
“Every day, when we interact with each other, we’re
making a difference internally and that extends to
customers worldwide,” says John Stika, president. “This
certification signifies to those looking in at our team
that we really do care about doing business in a way
that values relationships and values people.”
In September, the Wall Street Journal featured how the
brand’s survey also showed 99% of staff felt safe in the
office during the pandemic.
More than a mention in an article, caring for and
supporting people is what we do. We collaborate with
you and for you each day.
