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.

Maintaining a robust pipeline of talent is crucial to our ongoing success and is a key aspect of succession planning efforts across the organization.

Our leadership and people teams are responsible for attracting and retaining top talent by facilitating an environment where employees feel supported and encouraged in their professional and personal development.

About 68% 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 provide career development guidance and coaching to our employees. We offer easy-to-use technology solutions that managers and employees use for creating development plans, exploring upskilling content, and building career plans.

We invest in the continued professional growth of our employees through training and development programs, on-the-job experiences, coaching, and – for a 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.

Our capability marketplace, Match & Grow, allows leaders to access skills outside the immediate team by inviting colleagues from other areas of the business to take on “short-term gigs” and to engage in new work experiences. Since 2023, we have provided Match & Grow to over 25,000 employees, an increase of approximately 10,000 employees from prior year. In 2024, we continued to see about 53% of filled gigs provide cross-functional experiences for employees.

We believe a culture in which employees feel heard and leaders take action is key to building a highly-engaged and thriving workforce. Our employee listening strategy includes regular, confidential surveys of our global workforce and targeted action plans at the global, regional, and managerial levels based on the results of these surveys.
