Our Philosophy

Our employees are our most valuable asset when it comes to serving our customers around the world. We believe that we have an obligation to inform our employees (none of whom are unionized) of their choices and options and our philosophy regarding union representation.

We provide employees with competitive wage and benefit packages, safe working conditions, open two-way communications, policies that promote a fair and respectful work environment, and the opportunity for employees to develop and enhance their skills.

We strive to continually re-evaluate wage rates to assure that employees are fairly compensated and to make rate adjustments when appropriate to treat employees equitably.

Employee voice matters at Protolabs and plays a critical role in shaping the future of our organization. Our leaders consistently hear, value, and respond to employee feedback.

It is in the best interest of Protolabs and our employees to maintain direct one-to-one relationships with their leaders that are free from third-party intervention.

Our mission to accelerate innovation and drive economic growth as the world’s digital manufacturing service provider is best accomplished when our employees’ voices are heard, when we work directly with one another, and when employees speak for themselves without intervention from outside organizations.
