PPG (NYSE:PPG) today announced its inclusion in the inaugural
American Opportunity Index, which measures efforts to create
opportunities for employees. PPG ranks #44 among the largest 250
U.S. public companies. The focus of the assessment is on workers’
access to role, wage and career advancement.
“At PPG, we know our greatest strength is our people, who are
focused on fulfilling our purpose and protecting and beautifying
the world every day. We protect their well-being and ensure our
employees are safe, healthy, engaged and valued for the diverse
talents they bring to PPG,” said Kevin Walling, PPG vice president
and chief human resources officer. “Our inclusion in the American
Opportunity Index recognizes our efforts to make opportunities
available regardless of education, as well as our competitive wages
and benefits.”
The index, developed by Harvard Business School’s Project on
Managing the Future of Work, the Burning Glass Institute and the
Schultz Family Foundation, measures which companies are most likely
to create opportunities for workers in roles open to non-college
graduates across three criteria: access (who is able to join the
company); wage (how well they are paid); and mobility (how far a
worker will advance—either at that company or once they leave for
another company). PPG scored top marks in providing a career
launchpad - hiring workers without experience, training them, and
enabling them to move on to better positions – and growing talent -
filling roles by promoting from within, and whose managers and
executives are mostly likely to have risen from within.
PPG has more than 6,000 positions in the U.S. that do not
require a college degree, of which the vast majority are in sales,
retail and at manufacturing and distribution center locations. The
company offers a variety of education, training, networking and
advancement opportunities, including:
- Providing specific on-the-job trainings for different roles.
For example, in manufacturing plants there is a series of process
trainings.
- Offering access to a PPG-run mentoring platform and PPG’s
online Learning Management System with nearly 25,000 digital
learning resources.
- Supporting and funding PPG’s eight Employee Resource Networks
(ERN).
- Offering tuition reimbursement for continuing education and
certifications.
- Making available various external platforms, including LinkedIn
Learning, Rosetta Stone for language skills, and Udemy for
upskilling in areas of interest.
In addition to the American Opportunity Index, PPG has been
recently recognized for its employment efforts in the Human Rights
Campaign Foundation’s Corporate Equality Index, Forbes Best
Employers for Women, Forbes 2022 America’s Best Employers, FORTUNE
World’s Most Admired Companies list.
PPG’s ranking of #44 is based on its overall index score, which
is a weighted average of nine measurements of opportunity a company
affords workers or helps create beyond it, based on access to work
it provides, ability to advance within the company, and wages.
