What Makes Veritiv a Most Loved Workplace®?
Veritiv is a Fortune 500 distributor of packaging, facility solutions, and print products. But beyond its business success, Veritiv has built something rare: a workplace where people genuinely love to show up. Certified as a Most Loved Workplace® every year from 2023 through 2026, Veritiv earns this recognition through the rigorous SPARK model assessment — a five-pillar framework that measures what truly drives employee love at work.
What Is the SPARK Model and How Does Veritiv Score?
The SPARK model evaluates five core pillars: Systemic Collaboration, Positive Vision for the Future, Alignment of Values, Respect, and Killer Outcomes. Veritiv scores a strong 86 out of 100 across all five pillars — a consistent result that reflects a deeply intentional approach to culture, not a one-time effort.
Systemic Collaboration — Score: 86
At Veritiv, collaboration is not an afterthought. In a recent employee engagement survey, 91% of employees participated, yielding an overall engagement score of 85 — a 3-point jump from the prior year. A full 90% of employees said they feel like a good fit with Veritiv's culture, and 88% expressed confidence in company strategy and leadership. These aren't just numbers; they reflect a team that works as one.
Positive Vision for the Future — Score: 86
Veritiv employees are guided by the Veritiv CODE of Values: Cultivate Innovation, Own It, Deliver and Delight, and Embrace the Green. These values aren't just words on a wall. They shape how decisions get made and how people treat each other every day. Five employee resource groups — including communities for Women, African-American, LGBTQ+, Hispanic/Latin, and Veterans/Military Families — give every employee a voice and a community.
Alignment of Values — Score: 86
Leadership at Veritiv walks the talk. CEO Sal Abbate launched a company-wide "listening tour," hosting small-group roundtable sessions with more than 600 employees across North America. The feedback was turned into real action plans — from flexible dress guidelines to new profit-sharing for 4,700 employees who were not previously bonus-eligible. That kind of follow-through is what alignment of values looks like in practice.
Respect — Score: 86
Veritiv's internal communications platform, Vibe, connects team members across all locations and keeps the company feeling like a tight-knit community. Monthly all-employee webcasts give team members direct access to the CEO. Managers are required to build specific action plans based on employee survey feedback. This creates a culture of mutual respect — where every voice shapes the environment everyone works in.
Killer Outcomes — Score: 86
Results matter at Veritiv. In its most recent engagement survey, 88% of employees agreed that there is good cooperation and collaboration across their team — up 2 points from the prior year. The internal Net Promoter Score (NPS) survey and the BRAVO online recognition platform reinforce a culture of accountability and celebration. When people own their work and recognize each other's wins, outcomes follow.
