Honda Employee Receives 2016 STEP Ahead Award

Yesterday, the 2016 STEP Ahead Awards took place in Washington, D.C. to honor and celebrate women in the manufacturing industry. The Manufacturing Institute created the STEP (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Production) awards to recognize women who encourage and support other women who have dreams of pursuing a career in manufacturing. This initiative aims to close the disparity between the percent of women in the labor force (47 percent) and women in the manufacturing workforce (only 27 percent).

Jan Gansheimer, AVP of plant operations for Honda of America Mfg., Inc. was recognized for her long and successful career in Honda’s manufacturing plants, during which time she has been working to advance the footprint of women in this industry.

“I love the variety that manufacturing offers at Honda because it provides the opportunity to create, to solve problems and to work constantly to improve products for the customer,” said Gansheimer, who was recently named Assistant Vice President of Human Resources for Honda North America, Inc. “I’m honored to be recognized for supporting an industry that has significantly impacted my life and is so important to the fabric of the country.”
