Compass Minerals has been recognized as one of 100 Utah Companies Championing Women.

The company was recognized for its supportive policies and benefits, workplace inclusivity and representation of women in leadership positions.

The honor comes from In Utah, an initiative of the Utah Governor’s Office of Economic Opportunity collaboratively supporting Utah’s economy. Through its Inspire In Utah campaign, In Utah aims to motivate women to explore new opportunities in the workforce by sharing women’s experiences in various industries.

“We’re committed to providing an inclusive and equitable working environment for our employees,” said Kevin S. Crutchfield, president and CEO. “We strive to be a company where every person is treated with respect, feels like they belong and where there are ample opportunities for professional development. It’s an honor to be recognized for our efforts in championing women.”

Compass Minerals offers a range of benefits to employees, including pay equity through regular pay audits, gender-neutral parental leave, paid volunteer time off and professional development opportunities through partnerships with organizations such as the Society of Women Engineers, Women in Mining and Central Exchange.

“I’m grateful to work at an organization that offers opportunities to grow and develop new skills, and where I feel I can truly bring my whole self to work. As an active member of several employee resource groups, I’ve expanded my network and found channels to share my personal experiences,” said Monica Archuleta, senior maintenance planner in Ogden, Utah.

Compass Minerals’ diversity, belonging, inclusion and equity (DBIE) program is an important element in recognizing the rich diversity represented at our company and in celebrating different cultures and groups. As part of the DBIE program, employees have the option of participating in various employee resource groups (ERGs), including a Women and Allies ERG. The company’s ERGs provide a sense of belonging, create opportunities for development and help drive business results.
