Workplace

A recent K Values* Culture Survey indicated that overall, 89 per cent of Kellogg Canada employees are highly engaged, meaning that they feel good about being a part of Kellogg Canada and Kellogg Company.

At Kellogg Canada, we not only aspire to be the food company of choice, we aspire to be the employer of choice in the communities in which we operate. Company founder W.K. Kellogg famously said a century ago, “I will invest my money in people,” and that statement holds true today. We invest in developing, engaging and retaining high-performing talent in a collaborative team environment. Our talented people help us to fulfill our vision of becoming the food company of choice.

Values

Kellogg’s K Values* set us apart as a company and form the basis of our workplace culture. Kellogg employees at all levels take the K Values* seriously, and we refer to them regularly in our work. Most of our new employees take part in an orientation program – customized to each location – that includes training in the K Values*. This ensures that all employees understand what those values are and how to put them into practice. In Canada, for example, new salaried employees undergo one full day of training devoted to learning and applying the K Values*.

In addition, employee performance reviews take into account an employee’s adherence to and demonstration of the K Values*. In these reviews, employees self-assess and are rated by their managers regarding not only what they accomplished during the review period, but how they accomplished it – that is, how well they put the K Values* into practice in achieving the required accountabilities.

Diversity and Inclusion

At Kellogg Canada, we've created an environment where our differences are embraced, valued and integrated into the operation of our organization. It starts with our leadership and flows throughout the organization to create an inclusive culture. It’s precisely our differences that bring strength to our organization. In fact, diversity is woven directly into our foundational K Values*.

Occupational Health and Safety

Occupational health and safety activities at Kellogg are guided by the Corporate Safety Group, which educates, guides and assists safety managers across the company and in manufacturing locations with processes, policies, standards and best practices.

Employees receive safety training related to occupational and Kellogg requirements. We also require our suppliers to have systems in place to assess and control health and safety risks for their employees. Safety performance improvement goals are included in each sector of our business and are key indicators of performance.

To become the employer of choice in the communities in which we operate going forward, we will continue our efforts to engage employees, provide learning and development opportunities that will help us create a talent powerhouse, and uphold the ethics instilled by our founder. We aim to build a work force that is representative of our consumers’ demographics, and to provide an open and innovative atmosphere that values new approaches, processes and ideas. We also aspire to provide a fulfilling place to work, where employees can achieve their own goals even as they drive the achievement of Kellogg’s goals.
