At Colgate, people are our greatest resource. The efforts of talented and skilled people around the globe have made, and continue to make, our success possible. As a result, we are dedicated to attracting, developing and retaining exceptional people by becoming the Best Place to Work.
We strive to become the Best Place to Work by:
- Recruiting and retaining people of all backgrounds in our work force
- Providing training, education, and growth opportunities that enhance development and career advancement
- Creating a motivating and rewarding work environment
- Promoting on-going communication that keeps people connected
- Paying for performance and recognising outstanding efforts
- Supporting activities and accomplishments that reflect our corporate values of Caring,
- Global Teamwork and Continuous Improvement
- Encouraging a healthy balance between work and personal responsibilities
Our commitment globally is so strong that many of our largest subsidiaries have "employer of choice" awards in their communities. Our Chairman Reuben Mark has even created a “Making Colgate the Best Place to Work” program!
As we strive to become the Best Place to Work, it’s important to realise that we are members of the same team, working together toward a common goal. To foster an environment of trust and community, we have established a Managing with Respect initiative. All Colgate people are responsible for practicing the five principles of Managing with Respect:
- Communicating Effectively
- Giving and Seeking Feedback
- Valuing Unique Contributions
- Promoting Teamwork
- Setting the Example
Community Programme
Share in our culture of caring, and help to make the world a better place.
Colgate supports local and national charities which have been selected by employees. Colgate matches contributions made by its employees' fundraising initiatives.
