Employees are Our Greatest Strength
At Microchip, these are not just words; they are a part of our very being. It is reflected in the Guiding Values used to define our company culture and the day-to-day decisions we make as a company around the world–every employee shares in the success of the company while our benefits packages and policies are designed with employee wellness and safety in mind. During tough economic times, Microchip has a demonstrated history of taking steps to retain every employee, if possible, while others around us were significantly reducing their headcounts. It is even reflected in our organizational charts–every one of them has been flipped up-side down. As Steve Sanghi, CEO, says "I do this to show that I work for our employees." Microchip believes it is at the employee level where work gets done and decisions are made. Combine that belief with a unique business strategy that has employee empowerment as one of its key elements and it only makes sense that employees are recognized as our greatest strength.
