AstroNova reviews

AstroNova, Inc. is an equal opportunity / affirmative action employer and is committed to diversity in the workplace. So, it is very unfortunate when we come across posts like this that do not truly represent our core values and who we are as an organization. Historically, it has been difficult to recruit women in the manufacturing sector. A recent study by Deloitte indicated that only 28% of women considering a change in industry would consider the manufacturing sector as a choice for them. Another recent study by the Manufacturing Institute determined that while women represent nearly half (46.6%) of the total U.S. labor force, they only comprise a quarter (24.8%) of the durable goods manufacturing workforce. At AstroNova, we are very proud that women make up 30.5% of our U.S. workforce and 30% of our global workforce – and 10% of those women are in management positions. We are making strides every day to hire, develop and promote women in the workforce. Our recent partnership with Real Jobs Rhode Island accepted 4 candidates for a “new and emerging leader” development program and 3 of those four candidates are women. If you are looking for a manufacturing company that is truly focused on diversity in the workplace and creating opportunities for women, then come to AstroNova.
