Great people who are highly engaged in their roles are critical to our success, and we value being able to offer employees opportunities for personal and professional growth throughout their careers. While employee development helps prepare us to meet current and future business challenges facing our organization, it also allows each employee to reach his or her fullest potential. 

Our development approach

• Our employees are responsible for their own learning, career, and demonstrating the behaviors that deliver high-performance results. 
• Our managers are responsible for providing candid feedback to employees regarding performance and business and development opportunities, contributing a broader perspective, and playing a supporting role. 
• Our organization – in partnership with employees – provides the trust, freedom and responsibility for individuals to thrive and flourish. 

Development opportunities 

Development opportunities at Cargill range from formal classroom training and e-learning to coaching and on-the-job training. To support this, our many businesses work with Cargill learning experts to develop and deliver programs that meet individual and organizational needs. Here is a sampling of these programs:  

• High performance leadership academy

• Safety training
  The health and safety of our employees is a business imperative. That mandate is supported through ongoing training in safety, maintenance and risk management for employees around the world.
