innovate, grow, deliver 13
Located in more than 60 countries around the world, our employees
are the most important reason for our success. They are a diverse group
of individuals, united by their deep-rooted commitment to produce
strong results. Because our goal is to develop the best group of leaders
in 3M’s history, investing in people is a top priority.
Our leadership attributes – Chart the Course, Raise the Bar, Energize Others,
Resourcefully Innovate, Live 3M Values and Deliver Results – are embraced
by 3Mers everywhere. Continuous improvement is embedded in our
culture. Across 3M, employees are enhancing their knowledge and skills
in order to do their best and realize their full potential. For example, our
Accelerated Leadership Development Program – an intense, three-week
learning experience – has so energized and inspired participants that
we recently implemented a second, similar program to accelerate the
development of even more employees. For supervisors and managers –
the people who are the first line of support for all of our employees –
we conduct wide-ranging training using a blend of classroom and online
learning. We also provide many e-learning resources, which are available
to employees any time, any place. A high-performing culture translates
into high employee morale. A vast majority of 3M employees recently
surveyed indicated that they derive satisfaction from their jobs, feel a
strong dedication to the goals of their businesses and are proud to be
3M employees.
