Okuma America Corp., a builder of CNC machine tools, controls and automation systems, has been nationally recognized as a 2023 Top Workplace, receiving two awards within the manufacturing industry and compensation and benefits categories. These awards were granted by Top Workplaces, an employer recognition organization.

Okuma America Corp. is recognized as one of 60 top employers which employ 150 to 499 employees within the manufacturing industry in the U.S. The company has also received recognition as a top employer for compensation and benefits for companies with 150 to 499 employees among a variety of industries across the nation.

The Top Workplace selections were made based on feedback from participating companies’ employees. In the Spring of 2023, Okuma members were offered an opportunity to complete an anonymous employee engagement survey which polled for feedback on various topics related to job satisfaction and company culture. Nearly 80% of Okuma’s employees completed the survey, which was beyond the minimum rate of 35% participation to be considered for the award. The results were then compared to other participating companies, with the highest-scoring companies receiving a Top Workplace designation.

On receiving the recognition, Jim King, president and COO of Okuma America Corp., says, “We're incredibly fortunate to have such an excellent team here at Okuma, and it’s a privilege to serve them in my role. We continuously strive to be a leader within the manufacturing industry and are diligent in ensuring our team is compensated competitively for their efforts. While these endeavors are done for the sake of our team members and customers, we're grateful to be recognized in these areas and to receive these national Top Workplace awards.”
