From the Opal Nugget Ice Maker to the Smart Indoor Smoker, some of our most innovative appliances started at FirstBuild. Founded by CEO Kevin Nolan in 2014, today it is a hub for creativity and connection. At FirstBuild, we welcome the community to help shape ideas. And through co-creation, we turn these ideas into products people love. As we celebrate its 10th anniversary, Kevin shares how FirstBuild's unique approach is setting the standard for corporate innovation. #FirstBuild #Innovation #GEAppliances

Let's keep inspiring the next generation of inventors! 🚀 We welcomed some special visitors to Appliance Park last week for "Take Your Child to Work Day." Led by our Empower Women Employee Resource Group, the kids joined their parents on the job for a fun day of creative activities and lab tours. #GEAppliances #TakeYourChildToWorkDay #FutureInnovators

Take Your Child to Work Day, sponsored by the Women in Technology, is one of my favorite days of the year! I LOVE that these young kids are being exposed to engineering and I LOVE meeting my colleagues mini-me’s. I hope to see all these kids as engineers in the future! A special thanks to Kristin Weirich and Mariana Miranda, GDTP-T for their leadership in bringing this event to life! GE Appliances, a Haier company

I am SO EXCITED to announce that GE Appliances, a Haier company made the Top 100 Internship Programs list this year, along with winning the DEI Champion Award!! Even though today is #NationalInternDay, we've been celebrating our interns/co-ops all week with events from workshops around personal and professional development, to presentations with some of our development program associates and leadership, to rounding it out with some fun networking events and a volunteer activity in the community. As our CEO, Kevin Nolan, our CHRO, Rocki Rockingham, and our VP of Cooking, Henry Eng, all mentioned in their discussions with the interns/co-ops this week, interns are the future of innovative ideas and will make or break a company in the future. We rely on our interns to bring to the table new, creative approaches to tasks and products while also counting on them to make the most of their opportunity by leaning in, challenging the status quo, conquering their fears, and remaining positive. Thank you, WayUp and Yello.co for creating #NID as a way for us to highlight the impact interns make at companies across the globe. They deserve the recognition for the hard work, learning, and progress they bring to the table every day. This award would not have been possible without the program managers, HR folks, assignment leaders, supervisors, mentors, leaders, and TA members that contribute their time and effort to the interns/co-ops every day and ensure they have the best experience possible with us. I am happy to join in their success and to help continue our path forward of being the best intern program we can be. #studentcare #earlycareertalent #coops #interns #DEI #DEIChampions #Top100InternProgram

At GE Appliances, we believe in the power of coming together to help make a difference. That’s why our Veterans Alliance Employee Resource Group recently hosted their annual Build-a-Bed event at Appliance Park, building beds for Jefferson County Public Schools students. Each headboard was even personalized with an inspirational message or artwork designed by children of employees and our friends from Down Syndrome of Louisville. Thanks to everyone who participated to help ensure that more children in our community have a comfortable place to sleep. #goodthingsforlife

GE Appliances, a Haier company, says a $2 billion effort to remake its supply chain has helped it double revenue since 2017. The company, one of the largest home-appliances manufacturers in the U.S., has added manufacturing capacity, opened seven new distribution centers and implemented digital tools to knit together operations from production through to delivery. Marcia Brey, the company’s vice president of logistics, said the changes were necessary to capture more market share and to bolster its supply chain after coping with product shortages during the pandemic. “The way we were running distribution, the processes we were using, it wasn’t a matter of, ‘Well, just incrementally improve what you’ve got,’” Brey said. “We needed to rethink, take a step back and say, ‘Are we really set up the way we need to be set up?’” #supplychain #logistics #manufacturing
