Hudson, Wis. -- Family Friendly Workplaces is happy to announce that Cardinal Glass has earned a gold-level certification as a Family Friendly Workplace. This certification reflects Cardinal Glass’s ongoing commitment to supporting families and strengthening the local community.

“At Cardinal Glass, we believe that maintaining a strong work-life balance is key to our employees’ overall well-being and long-term success,” said Jacob Skramstad, Superintendent of Cardinal Glass. “This certification highlights our ongoing commitment to creating a workplace culture where our team feels valued and supported—both in their careers and personal lives. When we take care of our people, the positive impact extends throughout the entire community.”

Cardinal Glass earned this certification after a comprehensive evaluation of its workplace policies, including flexible work options, parental leave, healthcare benefits, and family-centric support programs. As a certified employer, Cardinal Glass is now entitled to use the Family Friendly Workplaces logo in its talent attraction and retention work, as well as access a range of other benefits.

As part of the certification program, employers are required to make conduit contributions to nonprofits that support families and children. This year, Cardinal Glass made a conduit contribution to the Carpenter Nature Center in Hudson. The contribution will go towards a yearlong sponsorship of Carpenter Nature Center's Preschool Storytime program series at the Wisconsin Campus. Designed for children ages 2-5, these programs introduce little ones to nature through stories, outdoor exploration, nature-themed crafts, and up-close visits with Carpenter's animal ambassadors. 

“It’s an honor to recognize Cardinal Glass as an official Family Friendly Workplace,” said Neil Kline, Executive Director of Family Friendly Workplaces. “Their strong commitment to supporting their employees and giving back to the community reflects the core principles of what it means to be a family-focused organization.”
