Giroux Glass Inc. was recently named one of the Best Places to Work in Los Angeles by the Los Angeles Business Journal and Workforce Research Group.

- Have at least 15 employees in Los Angeles: at the time of submission, Giroux Glass employed 97 Los Angeles-based workers.
- Be in business for a minimum of one year: Giroux Glass is currently in its 76th year of operation.
What this means to Giroux Glass
“It’s reassuring to have an outside source validate that we have created the right kind of culture in our workplace. Our last independent survey of our employees found that 96 percent of our employees find their work to be engaging, and 90 percent would recommend working here to their friends, which was wonderful. So this didn’t come as a surprise. But seeing that we rank among the best companies, in the most populated county in the U.S., assures me that our culture is on track. Our people are important to us and I’m glad they feel it,” says CEO and President Nataline Lomedico.
