Nekoosa Hailed as a Wisconsin Manufacturer of the Year

Nekoosa focuses on employee safety, wellness, recognition and development in order to create a positive working environment. Employee programs focus on each of those areas, and the company has met many goals, such as working 968 days (and rising) without an OSHA recordable or lost time incident, improved wellness scores by over 10 percent in the last three years with 90 percent voluntary participation, and just under 3 percent turnover in the last five years. Thanks to an innovative incentive program, Nekoosa has averaged over 45 percent perfect attendance.
