Deerfield, Ill., Sep. 29, 2023 — Essendant announced today the launch of its new talent acquisition campaign, “Grow Where You Matter,” that highlights the long-term career opportunities and company culture as compelling reasons to join the company.
With today’s competitive jobs market, Essendant aimed to identify the strengths of its culture and the company attributes that its employees value most. After months of research that included interviews with employees in various positions across the company, Essendant developed Grow Where You Matter, a cohesive campaign focusing on two overarching themes:
A Career that Works for Your Life: This theme highlights Essendant’s commitment to employees’ personal and professional growth with leaders who are supportive. In tandem with this is Essendant’s focus on ensuring work-life balance and benefits for a better life – key reasons many Essendant employees build long-term careers at the company.
People Come First: This theme reinforces Essendant’s culture of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI), its work with community agencies to create job opportunities for those with disabilities, veterans, formerly incarcerated individuals and other underemployed groups, and its charitable foundation supporting local and national charities.
The Grow Where You Matter campaign will be conveyed throughout the Essendant brand, including a new Careers page on the company website, career fair material, social media posts, job descriptions and other external promotions.
