“Madam Speaker, I rise to congratulate Mars, Incorporated for being recognized by Fortune Magazine as one of the ``best companies to work for.'' Many folks are familiar with the Mars' delicious snacks, such as M&Ms and Snickers. In my home State of Georgia, we have come to know Mars as a great place to work through its merger with Wrigley. Since joining the Mars family in 2008, employees at the Wrigley manufacturing plant in Flowery Branch, Georgia, have benefited from being part of the Mars community. Mars employees are given wonderful opportunities for growth and advancement. As a result, the company boasts a low turnover rate. Mars' strategies have resulted in diversity that strengthens its business model by mentorship opportunities which are built into the company's structure, including a ``reverse internship'' in which a younger employee introduces an executive to social media. Like Wrigley, Mars is truly an American success story. Mars remains a family-owned company that places high value on its human capital, which it demonstrates through significant investment in its 72,000 employees. Through innovation and creativity, Wrigley continues to identify new markets and growth opportunities, such their new Alert chewing gum line. I want to congratulate the hardworking Mars workforce throughout the United States, and especially the Wrigley employees in Georgia, for building a great company.…”
