We believe in fostering a culture where teams are empowered to make decisions based on data and take ownership of their actions. In turn, we ensure that people are appropriately rewarded and recognized for the work that they do.
The best solutions for our customers and the best outcomes for our stakeholders comes from a diversity of ideas and input. This collaborative culture that values employee voices is what drives Brady’s future success.
In the last three years, Brady has not implemented any large scale headcount reductions, and works diligently to retrain our employees rather than eliminate roles as new automation technologies are introduced. Additionally, Brady limits the use of non-regular employees, with less than 15% serving as temporary or contract workers.
Brady’s emphasis on collaboration is reliant upon a culture that values inclusion. Further, Brady has a zero tolerance policy for workplace harassment or abusive behavior.

Maintaining a safe work environment is the responsibility of all Brady employees and requires teamwork.
Fiscal year | 2021 | 2022 | 2023 |
---|---|---|---|
TRIR | 0.69 | 0.53 | 0.60 |

Note: Data may change over time due to case management processes. Results are reported as of close of fiscal year.
* Total Recordable Incident Rate = (Total Number of OSHA Reportable Events * 200,000) / total number of hours worked by employees per year
Lost Time Case Rate = (Total Number of Lost Time Injuries * 200,000) / total number of hours worked by employees
Note: While the calculation is OSHA-based, it is applied globally to standardize our metrics.
This year our site in Buffalo, New York, exceeded their previous record for number of days without an OSHA-recordable incident: 449 days. Brady Buffalo focuses on proactive measures to prevent incidents from occurring, including involving all employees in their safety committee’s inspections.
In April 2023, our corporate headquarters site in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, was recognized as one of the 2022 Corporate Safety Award winners by the Wisconsin Safety Council (WSC). Every year, the WSC recognizes companies for their dedication to prioritizing a culture of safety in the workplace and has maintained exceptional safety records.
The Seton plant in Egelsbach, Germany celebrated over 1,000 days without a recordable incident. This milestone was achieved through a combination of recurring safety events, meetings, instructions and reminders that put safety at the top of every employee, supervisor and manager.
Our Tijuana facility held an event to raise awareness about the importance of personal protective equipment. Employees were asked to bring their safety helmets home with them. Their family members wrote messages or drew on the helmets to express the importance of staying safe while at work.
We believe that a meaningful career is more than just the work that our employees do. That’s why we pride ourselves in offering competitive benefits - and so much more. No matter where our employees are in the world, Brady’s goal is to provide employees with a compensation and benefits package that is externally competitive, internally fair and rewards outstanding performance. As a global company, we tailor our compensation and benefits to align with local practices.

Administered through the National Merit Scholarship Program, Brady is proud to offer up to five, $20,000 scholarships each year to eligible children of Brady employees.
Longtime Brady employee Laxmi Vungturi, Senior Business Analyst, is the proud mother of two scholarship recipients. Manasvi is a junior Computer Science major at Rice University, and Tejasvi graduated in 2022 from Rice University, majoring in Cell Biology and Genetics and is now in medical school.
“I feel proud as a Brady employee that my family was supported financially. Especially for first generation children here in the United States, the scholarship definitely motivated us and gave us strength.”

The input and engagement of our employees is key to our long term success and strength as a company. Our 2023 employee engagement survey had a global participation rate of 97%, with favorability ratings in several key areas scoring at or above the manufacturing benchmarks.
More importantly, we launched several global initiatives as a result of the feedback, focusing on employee development, communication and recognition.
There are lots of other avenues for employees to offer input into our processes and products. We embrace the ideas that our employees come up with, from identifying operational efficiencies with the Bright Ideas challenge in our Tijuana, Mexico plant, to Innovation Days, a cross-functional hack-a-thon style competition held twice a year for engineering and marketing teams.
We believe in transparency and accountability, and have committed to regular, ongoing communications with employees across all levels of the organization.
Quarterly manager update calls offer company management the opportunity to hear directly from CEO Russell Shaller and other members of the leadership team, as well as ask any questions they’d like. Bi-annual town halls led by regional presidents give all employees the chance to learn about the direction of the business and how they can contribute to its success.
These town halls provide leaders with opportunities to recognize employees for their unique or significant contributions in front of an audience of their peers.
True to our purpose to help make a safer, more productive world, so is our commitment to our own workplaces.
We are One Brady - made up of unique people who bring their individual talents, experiences and backgrounds to work every day. We thrive when each person has the opportunity to reach their full potential. By committing to a diverse workforce, we are committing to developing an employee base that is fully representative of race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, education level, experience, age, ability, and so much more. And by being able to safely bring their full selves to work, our employees can embrace and contribute to the collaborative culture that drives Brady’s growth.

Brady’s Emerging Professionals group offers opportunities for networking and career-focused programming for early career professionals. They also help to make connections on topics that matter to members, including talking about mental health and the benefits Brady offers.
The Alliance’s purpose is to attract, retain, empower, and inspire Black employees, and to help members achieve their fullest potential across the spectrum of professional development and employment opportunities at Brady. This year, Alliance members took part in Milwaukee’s Juneteenth Day celebration, one of the nation’s longest running Juneteenth celebrations.
