Newell Rubbermaid 16 2015 Annual Report
PEOPLE /
Growth is the energy that powers Newell;
without growth, we cannot thrive.
At Newell, we put our consumers first. Always!
They are at the center of everything we do because
our brands are designed to help consumers
achieve more in life. When we build our brands
and grow with consumers, we become ever more
important to our customers, our employees, and
our investors. When our consumers benefit, all of
our other constituents benefit.
How do employees act and feel when they live The Newell Way?
We love our brands and are
passionately committed to our
consumers. We put our consumers
first in everything we do.
Growth is our key to success
because growth makes everything
possible.
We play to win and our passion for
winning fuels the choices we make.
We are more invested than any
of our competitors in creating
meaningful connections that
drive growth with our consumers,
customers, suppliers, employees,
and communities.
We are here to make Newell a
leader in our industry. This drive to
strengthen our company unites us,
makes us feel we are an important
part of something bigger, and
creates opportunity for our
personal development.
Our strong performance culture is not for everyone:
We demonstrate respect for
each other and appreciate the
work each of us does in
delivering our ambition.
We invest in our people and get
energy from helping and seeing
our colleagues grow. We know
that individual impact is the key
to realizing our full potential.
The entrepreneurial spirit that
is at the foundation of each of
our brands ignites our passion
for performance.
We empower our people to
amplify the company’s strategic
choices through their talent
and creativity.
We challenge the status quo and
each other for more, knowing that
constructive, creative tension leads to
strengthened performance and personal
growth.
We are constantly curious and equally
courageous. We aren’t afraid to try
new ways to succeed and never let
reluctance-to-act get in the way of
progress.
We are thoughtful, decisive and
disciplined. We make choices based on
insight, analysis, and experience. But, we
recognize perfection is inefficient and if
we get it wrong, we course correct
quickly.
We throw our whole selves into our
quest for the best possible answers to
problems and we never shy away from
tough choices. We gladly choose the
harder right path, rather than settling for
the easier wrong one.
We celebrate our progress,
yet are always looking forward
to the next challenge. This
drive to consistently be and do
better is part of what builds
great leaders and enables
amazing careers at Newell.
We are humble, yet confident.
Our confidence is built on a
track record of performance.
We love what we do.
We have fun doing it.
We do what we say we are
going to do and execute
with E.D.G.E. —Every Day
Great Execution.
We always find a way,
although we never compromise
our integrity or values in the
process of getting things done.
We take pride in progress but
we never proclaim victory
because we know competition
is always improving.
We go the extra mile to
recognize top performance
and leadership.
The Newell story we are composing will be reimagined
and unpacked in different ways that enable each of us to
grow personally and professionally. Our journey is one
of exploration and improvement. Being part of Newell
means constant opportunities for learning, enrichment,
and personal expansion. These opportunities will define
our business, build careers, and improve the lives of not
just us but our families.
We will all lead big and help each other see the
possibilities, painting a picture of the company we
aspire to be as we make Newell one of the preeminent
consumer brand companies in the world.
The
Newell
Way
