Culture and Talent Development

Building a winning growth culture across Mondelēz International is one of the four strategic priorities guiding our long-term business growth strategy. We focus on fueling the organization with the talent to achieve our growth and creating opportunities for our people to support our commitment to Snacking Made Right, regardless of gender, race, ethnicity, age, disability, sexual orientation or diverse social economic background.

To support this priority, we focus on:

1. Developing a strong pipeline of internal talent.
2. Building future growth capabilities.
3. Promoting a thriving culture of engagement.
4. Fostering impactful feedback that drives performance and career development.

At Mondelēz International, we are committed to being Talent Makers and Talent Magnets, intentionally developing, attracting, and retaining the Talent required for our future growth. This commitment is embedded in our succession planning and is designed to build a robust talent pipeline to support our long-term success.

Our leadership and people teams are responsible in facilitating an environment where employees feel supported and encouraged in their professional and personal development.

About 70% of our senior level placements are filled internally, demonstrating our commitment to building a strong pipeline of leaders across regions and business units.

Our people managers play a central role in enabling growth, providing ongoing career guidance and coaching to help employees reach their full potential. To support this, we equip both - managers and employees - with intuitive digital solutions that make it easier to build development plans, access upskilling opportunities, and navigate career pathways. A strong example is Match & Grow, our internal development marketplace, which connects talent to short-term, cross-functional experiences across regions. Through these gigs our colleagues expand their skills, broaden their networks, and gain exposure to new parts of the business. Over the past three years, this program has empowered hundreds of colleagues to accelerate their development and strengthen our enterprise capability.

We invest in the continued professional growth of our employees through the ingredients that craft their career through their own making, such as training, learning library offerings, development programs, on-the-job experiences, coaching, mentoring, and - for majority of employees in the United States - tuition reimbursement. We also provide technical and leadership programs across the organization that enable colleagues to grow skills and capabilities that will help drive future business growth.

We believe character, curiosity, and the power of difference drive innovation and growth. This means a culture where your unique voice and perspective is heard is the foundation on how we build a highly-engaged and thriving workforce. Our employee listening strategy includes regular and confidential surveys of our global workforce and targeted action plans at the global, regional, and managerial levels based on the results of these surveys to keep developing a consistent winning growth culture.

We have expanded the robustness of our formal Performance Management approach to help employees deliver against our Strategic Plan and organizational priorities.
