BASIC Requirements

Some examples of differences:

Valuing Differences means creating an environment where differences don't divide people, but contribute to higher performance and a better, more interesting work experience. We strive to foster this type of environment at Cargill.

BOUNDARIES: Your privacy is respected. People are friendly, but don't pressure you to reveal details of your life that you choose to keep private.

AFFIRMATION: You feel valued. People let you know when you've done good work, and show appreciation for who you are and the value you bring, just by being you.

SAFETY: You feel safe. People listen respectfully to your ideas, communicate clearly and directly, and show concern for your physical and emotional well-being.

IDENTITY: You feel free to be yourself. People don't judge you by how you "fit in," but by your unique contributions to the workplace.

CONNECTION: You feel welcome. People are friendly and show an interest in getting to know you.
