McCormick offers a wide range of resources and courses to help employees develop their job and career skills. Beyond learning programs, various development initiatives help employees grow in specific areas aligned with their individual goals and our broader business strategy.
For the past three years, McCormick has partnered with Korn Ferry, an industry-leading organizational consultant, to implement our Global Women’s Ignite Program. The program is targeted toward strong-performing female talent and helps advance them to mid-level positions as leaders within the company, with the intention to contribute more to the long-term growth of the business. To date, more than 50 women have graduated from the program, which has been shown to reduce turnover and increase job promotions or job responsibility for graduates.
Building on the success of the Global Women’s Ignite Program, in 2018 we launched the U.S. Ignite program focusing on advancing ethnically diverse talent. Identified through Ignite’s competitive nomination process, participants partner with their managers in a rigorous three-day curriculum designed to help them manage headwinds that may be affecting their careers. Both managers and employees also complete a leadership styles assessment and receive coaching on their skill sets to understand how their styles can impact their effectiveness. Throughout the sessions, employees have opportunities to network with each other and connect with senior leaders and executives across the company.
