Work Life
At Kraft Foods, our work and life is about your life and your job and career. We are a winning organization and we believe in the winning spirit both at work and at home. This drives all that we do and we understand that employees who effectively manage their work and personal lives are winners and productive contributors to business.
Our Commitment
Our commitment is evident by our objective to create a flexible and supportive work environment that empowers managers and employees to find solutions that meet business and individual needs.
Our Work Life principles help guide both employees and managers in meeting business and individual needs:
-
We are committed to providing an environment that recognizes and respects that satisfying work and personal lives are important for all employees.
-
Employees who effectively manage their work and personal lives are productive contributors to business results.
-
We develop core work life programs, with flexibility to meet unique division, function and location needs.
-
We encourage better understanding and use of work life policies and programs.
-
We are committed to being flexible regarding how work is accomplished so employees can focus on what’s important--- results, not processes.
-
We essentially look to all employees to effectively manage how their work and the work of their direct reports is completed. All employees are primarily responsible for determining and achieving their work life solutions.
