A Workplace, a Family
Hormel Foods' tradition of innovation 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. George A. Hormel coined the phrase, "Originate, don't imitate." His son, Jay C. Hormel, took that to heart, bringing innovation not only to new products but also to how he treated employees. He introduced several employee benefits, including a profit-sharing program called Joint Earnings, which continues to benefit many Hormel Foods employees today.
What began as a family-owned business has grown into a publicly traded company with more than 18,000 employees. 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.
