Employees’ view of Lawton’s culture is not the least bit “clouded”

As part of a recent employee survey, Lori Goemans decided to try something new. She got more than she expected – in a remarkable way.

Goemans, who is the human resources manager at The C.A. Lawton Co., was looking for a new way to ask employees how they would describe the company’s culture. So she included an open-ended question on a recent survey, asking employees to do so using three words. She then plotted the results in a colorful “word cloud,” where the most frequently-cited words appear larger, and the less popular ones are smaller.

Community.

We have fun participating in the Bellin Run, United Way, and Adopt a Highway to make a difference in our community.

Family.

Not only is the culture of Lawton like a big family, we actually have multiple families who work here.

Continuous Improvement.

We celebrate success, and at the same time we’re constantly digging to find where we can get better and better professionally and personally.

Empowerment to drive change.

We’re driven by curiosity, optimism, and the belief that every person can grow. We work everyday to create an environment where employees are empowered to drive change through Employee-Built Ideas.

Safety & Wellness.

At Lawton, we offer on-site physical therapy, massage therapy and a nurse practitioner.
