Newsweek recently included Wabash on its inaugural list of “America’s Most Admired Workplaces.”
The trailer OEM earned a rating of four and a half stars out of a possible five. Wabash is one of only two heavy-duty vehicle manufacturers on the 2025 list, and one of only five Indiana-based companies out of the 400 total companies on the list, showcasing its leadership “not only the commercial transportation and logistics sector, but also as a key employer in the state,” Wabash reported.
“We are incredibly proud to be named one of America’s Most Admired Workplaces,” Kristin Glazner, Wabash chief administrative officer, said in a news release. “At Wabash, we continuously strive to build a workplace that champions innovation, growth and a supportive culture where every employee can thrive.
“This recognition is a testament to the strength of our people and the strides we’ve made together.”
Newsweek and data research firm Plant-A Insights compiled the Most Admired Workplaces list based on a survey of more than 250,000 U.S. employees across various industries and more than 1.5 million company reviews. The survey evaluated key factors, including corporate culture, work-life balance, and career advancement opportunities, with more than 168,000 respondents identifying their preferred employers.
This accolade follows other notable third-party recognitions of Wabash’s performance and people-first culture over the past year, including being named to Newsweek’s list of America’s Most Responsible Companies 2024, USA Today’s Climate Leaders 2024, Forbes’ Best Small-Cap Companies 2024, and receiving two Plant Safety Awards from the Truck Trailer Manufacturers Association.
“As we continue to innovate in the transportation, logistics, and distribution industries, we remain committed to fostering an inclusive and supportive work environment, grounded in respect for people, knowing that true success is built on the well-being and engagement of our team members,” Glazner added.
