Lasko Products’ Post

A diverse and inclusive workplace is not just a goal but a fundamental building block of our future success at Lasko. Diversity is a potent tool for business growth, leading to a supportive work culture that accommodates varying perspectives on a variety of business issues. There is power in looking at things from all angles and ideas forged from diverse experiences and backgrounds can lead to innovative solutions that would not have been discovered otherwise. As we celebrate Pride Month, we reaffirm our commitment to supporting and uplifting our LGBTQ+ employees, recognizing the unique challenges they face, and championing a work environment where everyone can thrive as their authentic, full selves. We’re proud to stand with our LGBTQ+ employees and allies, today and always. #BeTogether #BeTheChange

Congratulations to our own Michael Andrews who recently received the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers (AHAM) Emerging Leader Award! This award is presented to AHAM members who, through volunteer service, have made important contributions to the industry. This recognition is designed to honor that service and encourage continued service and industry leadership. Mike’s recent work with AHAM includes participating in their heater safety committee as well as leading a subcommittee on new tip-over requirements for heater safety efforts. Mike was also voted in as AHAM’s Portable Appliance Division Engineering Council Chair where he’ll help lead technical discussions, conduct meetings with a view of reaching consensus, and participate in planning and strategy sessions related to AHAM technical operations and standards activities.

Our Ellipse Ceramic Tower Heater was recognized as a “top-performing product of the year” in the 2024 Forbes Vetted Best Product Awards! "This heater may look small and sleek, but don’t be fooled: It’s a powerful device, capable of heating areas up to 200 square feet quickly. Our tester appreciated the ability to customize temperature and heat strength, set it to rotate and set a timer (which can be done via remote control or on the machine itself)." Learn more about the Ellipse and the other highlighted products here.

Approximately six out of every ten moms are in the workforce. Second-time mom, Stephanie Bedway, recently returned to work after her family welcomed their second daughter back in November. She was the first mother to use Lasko’s new Mothers Room at our West Chester, PA headquarters, so naturally, we held a ribbon-cutting ceremony to mark the occasion! She shared, “Transitioning back to the office after having a child can present significant challenges for mothers. I’m extremely grateful for the exceptional support I've received from the Lasko team. Their efforts to accommodate breastfeeding mothers, such as providing this dedicated beautiful private space within the office, have been exceptionally considerate. This thoughtful gesture not only acknowledges the unique needs of working mothers but also demonstrates a genuine commitment to fostering an inclusive and supportive workplace environment.”

Meet Mary Rovito, our Sales Operations Manager at Lasko! In our latest employee spotlight, we sat down with Mary to learn more about her time at Lasko. Her main responsibility is to support our sales team and our customers, but we also asked her what motivates her in her role, her thoughts on our company culture, and what advice she has for new employees or anyone looking to succeed. Read on to learn more about Mary! Thank you Mary for your dedication over the last three years - we can't wait to see what you and your team accomplish next! #BeTogether

Last month, Clarksville, Tennessee was devastated by a tornado. Our Franklin, Tennessee plant employees quickly connected with YaiPak Outreach, a natural disaster outreach organization, to provide help to the community. Our team donated about 2,000 heaters which were distributed along with food and other supplies to more than 1500 Clarksville area families in need right before the holidays.   We’re grateful that we were able to provide some warmth this winter to those impacted by the tornado. Special thanks to: Celina Alverez, Jerod Brite, SSBB, TQMP, SOLC, Juan Contreras, Agea Herrera, Debra Lein, MBA-HRM, CMCM, ODCP, PHR, PRC, SHRM-CP, Silvia Melendez, Ricky Pratt, Alex Steinman, Kassandra Torres for helping pull together our donation.  #BeTogether #BetheChange
