PITTSBURGH--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jun. 16, 2016--
PPG (NYSE: PPG) announced that IDG's Computerworld has named it one of
the 2016 Best Places to Work in IT – among the top 100 organizations
that challenge information technology (IT) employees while providing
exceptional benefits and compensation, according to the publication. The complete
ranking appears in the current issue of Computerworld, along with
results from the 23rd annual Best Places to Work in IT survey.
This is the second time PPG has ranked No. 1 in career development in

year noted PPG’s “culture of innovation,” including the IT
organization’s strategic funding program that encourages employees to
explore opportunities and to test and develop strategic business
solutions. In addition, PPG was recognized for its global mentoring
program that connects IT leaders and professionals from across the globe
for mutual career enrichment.
“PPG is honored to be named again among the leading IT workplaces,” said
Chris Caruso, PPG vice president, information technology. “Our IT team
has a long history of creating innovative solutions that help PPG and
our customers maintain a competitive advantage in our industries.
Employee engagement is a top priority for PPG, and we believe that our
career-development initiatives are a key reason that we continue to rank
among the top IT employers in this survey.”
Scot Finnie, editor in chief of Computerworld, said, “The organizations
on this year’s Best Places to Work in IT list excel at creating a
dynamic and satisfying IT work environment. In a competitive market for
tech talent, these outstanding employers are able to attract highly
skilled IT pros by offering great benefits, new learning opportunities,
access to cutting-edge technologies and challenging, business-critical
projects.”
