Hagie Manufacturing based in Clarion, IA has made tremendous strides in enhancing company culture.  From popcorn machines to casual dress to an presidential innovation louge, nothing is too good for their employees.  As a result of these small changes, not only are the employee happier but the community is grateful for their support.

Hagie now gives presentations to other companies talking about culture and safety culture and I hear they are rockin' the house.

Thank you Hagie for being an amazing example of innovation and community support.

Excerpt from an email from Clint Middleton, Culture Coach, Hagie Manufacturing

"I am proud to announce to everyone in the team that Hagie Manufacturing was awarded the “Community Catalyst Award.”

The award states: Making a Difference, awarded to Hagie Manufacturing for your loyal dedication and unwavering commitment. Thank you for your outstanding contributions toward our goals, and for making our organization stand above the rest. Community Catalyst Award – 2011

It is great to be given this knowing that to receive this award we had to be first nominated and then voted on by all the members of the PFG. (The business owners in Clarion)

We often talk about how we have changed so much recently, putting the focus on our Customers, the Employees, and staying Innovative. It is great to receive an award like this, from a community, letting us know we are appreciated for what we do for Clarion. We do a lot for Clarion because we are located here, but we also do a lot for many of the communities around here. Every place you live, we know you are making an impact.  It may not be to the scale as what happens in Clarion, but because of You, because of what we do at Hagie, many communities are impacted.

Keep up the great work team, people are noticing."
