We want to thank our team members for everything they do for Grede! #EmployeeAppreciationDay2024
One year ago today, we launched Casting College, Grede’s eLearning platform. The tool enables our talented team members to develop and grow using a multifaceted system for all types of learners within our organization: visual, auditory, reading/comprehension, and kinesthetic. Today, on #DigitalLearningDay, we’re celebrating all we’ve achieved in a year in Casting College, hosted within Dayforce, our human capital management system. #GrowWithGrede #LearningAndDevelopment #TalentDevelopment #GoFurtherWithGrede

Safety always comes first. Our St. Cloud, MN plant recently held CPR and first aid training through the National Safety Council. Thirty employees got certified and gained lifesaving skills. Although our goal is to achieve zero accidents and injuries, it’s critical to know what to do if an incident occurs. #SafetyFirst #SafetyCulture #ESG #EHS

Our very own Chief Technology Officer, Susan Bear, was featured in the American Foundry Society Casting Source magazine about Grede’s five-year journey to become AI-driven. Once our smart foundry is fully implemented, it’ll enable us to catch quality issues and scrap before they happen. #GoFurtherWithGrede #FromArtToScience #Innovation #technology

Black History Month is an opportunity to celebrate African Americans’ achievements nationwide. Diversity, equity, and inclusion are critical in our workplace, and so is highlighting our incredible workforce. #Diversity #Inclusion #Safety
