AAON prides itself as an employer that builds a culture of mutual trust, promotes the entrepreneurial spirit and recognizes the talent and effort of its employees. Norm believes in the promise of the American Dream and his workforce reflects that commitment. Signs in Burmese and Spanish accompany English signs on the factory floor. More than 64 percent of AAON's employee population is comprised of minorities and more than 26 percent are female.

Retaining a highly skilled and motivated workforce is essential to AAON's success. While other HVAC companies have moved manufacturing facilities overseas to reduce labor costs, AAON has invested in American workers. By providing ongoing training and investing in technologies that improve efficiency, AAON has been able to beat the competition and seen its stock price steadily rise.
