The Axalta Coating Systems global Human Resources organization was recently awarded the Delaware Valley HR Department of the Year award. This award focuses on human resources departments that had led significant change efforts and demonstrated best practices in the field.

“We are thrilled to receive this award,” explained Joe McDougall, senior vice president and chief human resources officer. “The pace of change at Axalta has been rewarding from a business perspective but it also has been a process we’ve endeavored to manage carefully for our 12,000 employees. While our Human Resources department enjoys the accolades, it is the resilience of our employees around the world who have embraced our new company culture while never losing focus on our customers who we put first.”
