The tradition of innovation at Hormel Foods is not limited to our products. We have a long and proud history of protecting the welfare of our employees in new and progressive ways. Founder George A. Hormel was instrumental in promoting the first child labor laws in the United States. Today, our policies protect each employee’s right to a workplace that adheres to laws, does not discriminate and promotes respect for one another.
What began as a family-owned business has grown into a publicly traded company, yet we work hard to maintain a strong sense of family in our offices and plants. At Hormel Foods, we consider our employees to be more than workers. We consider them to be family, and we treat them accordingly.
At Hormel Foods, we embrace diversity because it makes us a better company. Hormel Foods works hard to ensure that employing a diverse workforce continues to be included among the company’s key strategies.
Employee resource groups help to create and maintain an inclusive work environment that supports diversity and inclusion. These groups offer opportunities for people to come together to build relationships, foster development, provide education and share information and ideas on common issues of interest.
