Some companies are best defined by what they make, or what they do, or the services they provide. What defines UTRS is our people-oriented culture. Everything we make, everything we do, all the services we provide, all our accomplishments and successes, it’s all the result of our employees. We strive to create a work environment that brings out the best in and for our people.
Last month, UTRS’s Human Resources department was recognized as a finalist at the 28th annual HR Department of the Year Awards. This professional recognition celebrates the work of HR departments and how they promote growth and positive change within their organizations.
UTRS’s exceptional HR department goes far beyond administrative tasks – it truly drives people, culture, and organizational success with its support. The HR team has become the heartbeat of our company with just five HR professionals supporting 335 employees.
UTRS employees overwhelmingly report feeling supported and valued. Every program, from onboarding to recognition, is designed not only to improve efficiency but to enhance employee satisfaction and engagement. The UTRS HR team has prioritized employee well-being with comprehensive health and wellness initiatives, flexible work options, and responsive benefits management. Additionally, the implementation of a modern HRIS (Human Resources Information System) has revolutionized efficiency, accuracy, and accessibility across the organization. These efforts have driven measurable improvements in engagement, retention, and organizational culture, reinforcing UTRS’s reputation as employer of choice in the engineering, technology, and manufacturing sectors.
The HR team’s ability to balance strategy and empathy, to support our people while driving our performance, reflects their unwavering commitment to excellence. Congratulations to our team for achieving this recognition!
