"This focus on strong leadership has played an important role in our ability to navigate an increasingly competitive marketplace and expand into a global operation with a strong presence in more than 50 countries. We appreciate the recognition we have received from Hewitt and Fortune and commend them for their role in supporting and promoting good leadership skills."
"Hewitt would like to congratulate Avery Dennison as being named one of the Top Companies for Leaders in North America," said Bob Gandossy, principal and global practice leader of Hewitt's Consulting business.
"While many companies in this region have made significant strides in building leadership capabilities, our research reveals that Top Companies, such as Avery Dennison, have cultures that cultivate and nurture their talent, and a reputation for doing it well. In an increasingly complex and global marketplace, these characteristics differentiate successful businesses from unsuccessful ones."
The Top Companies for Leaders Study is based on approximately 550 global organizations with an average employee size of 27,000. Almost 70 percent of the participating companies had revenues of $500 million or more.
Hewitt, The RBL Group and FORTUNE utilized a three-step screening process to identify the finalist companies. This included assessing survey responses, conducting in-depth interviews and analyzing financial performance in relation to industry. This information was then provided to a panel of expert judges in four regions to select and rank a 2007 Top Companies for Leaders list in Asia-Pacific, Europe, Latin America and North America.
