Through innovative approaches to product development,
we’ve engaged our employees in new and impassioned
ways, like our SPARK Competition. This employee-based
business case challenge is our way of encouraging and
rewarding innovation among all of our people while also
helping us pursue the best and brightest ideas generated
by them. It’s paying off in new consumer solutions.
Our dynamic and engaging culture encourages our
employees to continually provide input into how we run
the company. Our leadership embraces this input. The
result is a best-in-class organization built by people
from every level.
Our vision and work environment are conducive to
success, but the minds and hearts of those who make
up our organization bring our dynamic products to life.
We have assembled a global team of exceptionally
talented people who reflect our diverse consumer base.
People have always been our greatest asset and our
ultimate differentiator—our X Factor. As we unleash
individual and collective talents within our winning
culture, employees feel empowered to do their best
work. You might even say that our greatest product is
our people.
We’ve become industry leaders by attracting, developing
and retaining talented people who believe improving lives
and making a difference matters.
