It takes a range of insights, talents and ideas to truly transform environments. That’s why, at Carrier, having the best talent, and building best teams, brings our culture to life.
Broadening talent acquisition. Fostering an inclusive culture. Promoting teamwork and engagement. It’s all about creating a place, and a team, where everyone feels welcome and empowered to be the best possible version of themselves. Together, we work as one team toward a common purpose – united by The Carrier Way.
At Carrier we are anchored in The Carrier Way, with Inclusion as a core value and Build Best Teams as one of our cultural priorities.
Having the best talent, and building best teams, brings our culture to life. It ignites our passion for customers, and our ability to play to win, choose speed, dare to disrupt, and collaborate to achieve results. That’s why we invest in empowered, world-class teams, united and enriched by the global diversity of perspectives and backgrounds.
We embrace inclusion so that employees around the world can come to work every day feeling like they _belong and can contribute to their fullest and highest potential—for themselves, for their teams, and for Carrier. In support of this, we encourage allyship for all, a key enabler of our inclusion and _belong philosophy.
We actively listen to voices across our global workforce and use that feedback to strengthen our culture and our teams. Our Employee Resource Groups (ERGs)—voluntary, employee-led groups that are open to all—are a vital part of bringing our culture of inclusion to life, fostering community, personal development and business impact.
Carrier recognizes the importance of flexible work to enable a world-class workforce and culture while also maintaining a productive work environment focused on outcomes and achieving results.
Carrier’s flex work philosophy is rooted in four key tenets to reflect the critical balance needed to achieve a flexible, outcomes-oriented culture:
WorX: Our New Work Norm
Our flexible work philosophy, worX, offers 20%-25% remote work flexibility. Grounded in four key tenets and The Carrier Way, worX provides employees with remote work flexibility, balancing the needs of employees, the business and customers. Our informal approach to flexibility is trust-based, not rules-based, and designed to be informal, while promoting alignment with our cultural objectives.1
Employees requiring additional flexibility beyond the scope of worX are considered for alternative work arrangements on a case-by-case basis in situations where creative work schedules have been shown to accomplish work, team and personal goals, while also serving Carrier as a whole.
The world of work continues to evolve and we do, too. Learning never ends at Carrier and our commitment to invest in our people helps us make modern life possible.
Learning and development is core to Carrier’s culture — a culture that provides employees with the knowledge and experience they need to achieve ever-higher levels of performance in everything they do. Our employees have a reputation for innovative thinking, always aiming for the biggest improvements and the best solutions. They provide the innovative spark that moves us forward.
Learning at Carrier spans the full lifecycle of a career and occurs both formally and informally. Confidence spurs us to take prudent risks, to experiment, to cooperate with each other and, always, to learn from the results of our actions. The possibilities are limitless. Employees can advance their careers through new opportunities across our business units, in our many functional disciplines and throughout the geographic regions where we do business. A network of people, systems and processes guide them as they explore their options.
We work toward continuous improvement in everything we do, as a company and as individuals. We invest in you, so we can grow together.
Sharing of best practices and building business networks to tap into knowledge across the corporation are embedded in our learning methodologies. Each year our employees complete thousands of hours of training through internal training programs, web-based eLearning, virtual classrooms and external seminars. A common, global Learning Portal connects employees with opportunities to enhance their skills in areas such as leadership, ethics and job- or function-specific programs.
