Craig W. Porter, PlastiCert’s President and Owner, was invited to be a guest presenter during a SHRM Webinar entitled Manufacturing and Workflex – Solutions for the Production Floor. Along with two other representatives of past WhenWorkWorks Award winning companies, Porter provided insight into steps PlastiCert took both pre-award and since the award in making their manufacturing company a more flexible workplace.
