Wendel Named #19 on Best Places to Work in Virginia List

Categories: Company News, Richmond, Washington, DC

Wendel was recently ranked #19 in the Large Employer Category (250+ employees) on the 2018 Best Places to Work in Virginia list. The annual list of the Best Places to Work in Virginia was created by Virginia Business and Best Companies Group.

This statewide survey and awards program is designed to identify, recognize and honor the best places of employment in Virginia, benefitting the state’s economy, workforce and businesses. The 2018 Best Places to Work in Virginia list is made up of 100 companies.

To be considered for participation, companies had to fulfill the following eligibility requirements:

– Be a for-profit, not-for-profit business or government entity;
– Be a publicly or privately held business;
– Have a facility in the state of Virginia;
– Have at least 15 employees working in the state of Virginia; and
– Be in business a minimum of 1 year.

Companies from across the state entered the two-part survey process to determine the Best Places to Work in Virginia. The first part consisted of evaluating each nominated company’s workplace policies, practices, philosophy, systems and demographics. This part of the process was worth approximately 25% of the total evaluation. The second part consisted of an employee survey to measure the employee experience. This part of the process was worth approximately 75% of the total evaluation. The combined scores determined the top companies and the final ranking. Best Companies Group managed the overall registration and survey process in Virginia, and also analyzed the data and used their expertise to determine the final ranking. Wendel has also been named one of the Best Places to Work in Western NY, where the company is headquartered.

The final rankings of the Best Places to Work in Virginia were announced at an awards luncheon on February 1, 2018 at The Boar’s Head Inn in Charlottesville, VA.

Wendel Achieves ISO 9001:2015 Quality Certification

Categories: Uncategorized

Wendel is proud to announce we have achieved certification to the new ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management System standard through DNV GL – Business Assurance. Being ISO 9001:2015 certified shows an organization’s well defined Quality Management System (QMS) demonstrates commitment to consistency, continual improvement and customer satisfaction.

ISO 9001 is the most widely used quality management standard, and has recently undergone a periodic update to better reflect modern business challenges. The current standard requires greater involvement of senior management, broader understanding of processes, and more focus on stakeholder, not just customer, expectations.

“Being ISO certified means our clients can have full confidence in Wendel’s commitment to quality and focus on continuous improvement” said Stewart Haney, President and CEO of Wendel. In a thorough independent review process, DNV GL spent two weeks, with multiple auditors, auditing Wendel’s offices in Minneapolis, Alexandria, Buffalo, and Williamsville, to assess each of their processes related to design, project management, construction, and energy efficiency services. Through these audits, Wendel had no non-conformances and were given seven “Noteworthy” findings as compliments for exceptional work.

In order to lead the company through this extensive certification process, Gerald Zeder was hired in 2017 as Quality Manager. He is an ASQ Certified Manager of Quality/Operational Excellence, and Quality Auditor. He comes from 15 years working at General Electric in Minnesota and Texas as QMS Leader for GE Water where is was certified as a Lead Quality Auditor and Black Belt. Gerald is a graduate of the University at Buffalo with a Master of Science in Industrial Engineering.
