At MAGNA-TILES, we know that the strength of our team is the foundation of everything we build. That’s why we’re proud to share that, for the second year in a row, MAGNA-TILES has officially been Certified by Great Place To Work®, the global authority on workplace culture.

This certification isn’t just a badge; it’s a reflection of the experiences our team members share every day. The results are especially meaningful because they come directly from our people, who reported that MAGNA-TILES is a place where:

  • Everyone is treated fairly.
    From our warehouse team to our leadership, we’re committed to equity, respect, and transparency. Whether it’s through open communication during team meetings, consistent recognition of hard work, or the way we make decisions, fairness is a cornerstone of our culture.
  • New team members feel welcome from day one.
    We know how important first impressions are, which is why we’ve built programs like the Tile Buddy Program, where new hires are paired with a teammate to help them get settled. From learning the ropes of our workspace to sharing lunch together, these connections build confidence and community right away.
  • Our service is rated excellent.
    Delivering high-quality products and outstanding service is part of our DNA. Our team goes above and beyond to ensure families, educators, and retailers not only receive their MAGNA-TILES sets quickly and accurately, but also feel heard and valued whenever they reach out.
  • We provide a safe place to work.
    Safety is about more than physical space, it’s about emotional and psychological safety, too. On the physical side, our warehouse and office environments are maintained with care so every Tile Buddy can focus on their work without worry. On the people side, we foster a culture where sharing ideas, asking questions, and giving feedback are not just welcomed, but encouraged.

This second year of certification affirms what we already know: our culture is built on Complete Commitment to Others, one of our core values. Just as children use MAGNA-TILES to build structures that last, we’re building a workplace where people can thrive, grow, and feel proud to belong.
