Our Employees
Engaging Our Employees
Rewarding Our Employees
We seek to bring smiles to the faces of not only our consumers but also our employees. Throughout the year, we celebrate both individual and company success through events and awards. For example, in 2010 we recognized:
- Over a hundred employees in the U.S. and many across Europe through our “on the spot” award program for exceeding expectations
- 418 U.S. employees for reaching a milestone anniversary in years of service with Hasbro
- 129 employees at our factories for excelling in addressing environmental and quality issues
- 91 employees for suggesting improvements that led to greater efficiencies and effectiveness in work centers.
We also offer several annual family programs at our corporate headquarters throughout the year, examples being Kids Carnival, Santa Breakfast, and Bring Your Child to Work day.
And the winner is…
All year round our employees dedicate their energy to creating the best toys, games and entertainment products. They also devise innovative ideas to improve our teams, work processes and customer relationships. To celebrate their effort and success, we host our very own Inny Awards (short for innovation).
Senior management selects nominees for the 19 award categories – ranging from Advances in Technology and Product Design to the Environment, Our Culture and Process Improvement. Over 1,500 employees from around the world gather for the ceremony in Rhode Island, hoping to collect a coveted Inny trophy. In 2010, we added environmental sustainability as an award category and in 2011 included a wider range of corporate social responsibility (CSR) topics.
In 2011, the winning team in the CSR/Environment category identified a more eco-friendly type of rattan, replacing regular paper with a mixture of bamboo pulp with wood-free pulp.
This year, along with their trophies, winners received a monetary award to donate to one of our philanthropic partners. In total, we donated $110,000 to charities chosen by Inny winners, as well as an additional $10,000 to our Hasbro Global Hero’s preferred charity.
