Dana has announced that the company’s European region was recognized as a “Top Employer 2021” by the Top Employers Institute. The prestigious award honors exceptional human resources programs, including diversity and inclusion, work environment, talent acquisition, learning and well-being. 

Dana’s operations in six European countries — Italy, Hungary, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom — also were identified as being a “Top Employer” for creating an empowering environment for employees through people-first practices.

“Dana values an inclusive work environment that supports our people who are focused on pushing the boundaries of innovation and creativity to find a better way,” said Shelley Bridarolli, senior vice president of human resources for Dana. “The European Top Employer Award coupled with recognitions across six countries in the region is a testament to the leaders throughout our organization who are committed to putting the safety and well-being of our people at the forefront of our business.” 

Dana’s European region comprises more than 10,000 employees working across 54 facilities in 18 countries serving customers in the commercial-vehicle, light vehicle, and off-highway markets. 

In December, Dana also was recognized by Forbes magazine as a World’s Best Employer, and the company has earned top employer honors in a number of other countries, including Brazil, Canada, India, Mexico and the United States.
