McCormick has an enduring culture of respect and collaboration that engages employees throughout the organization.

Our unique Multiple Management philosophy, established in 1932, is the foundation of this culture and emphasizes employee involvement in improving many aspects of our business. We are further building on these values with motivational programs such as the McCormick High Performance System, which is leading to better training, lower turnover and greater efficiency. We were pleased to be named by FORTUNE magazine as one of the 100 Best Places to Work in 2010.

We have a strong sense of values which includes giving back to the communities where we operate. In the United States, employees can work an extra day and donate their earnings—which are also matched by the Company—to local charities. Employees in other global locations also donate their time and energy to raise funds for their local communities. In addition, the Company recognizes employees for community service with annual awards.
