Culture
Black & Decker is considered a preferred place to work largely
because of the high caliber and talent of our employees and the mutual
respect and trust that exist among them. Our “promote from within”
philosophy encourages growth by providing career opportunities within the
North American Power Tools and Accessories organization as well as across
Black & Decker’s other business units. Employees can expect to have a
high level of responsibility very early in their careers. We operate on a
first name basis and use a common-sense approach to completing tasks. The
organization is relatively flat which provides access to management and
encourages employees to be creative and to share ideas and strategies.
Our corporate culture and values focus on six aspects significant to
the success of our business. They are:
- Inclusion
which encourages diverse contributions and recognizes/appreciates
employee differences.
- Teamwork
which values communication and working together for the mutual benefit
of the company and the employee.
- Attitude
which focuses on positive energy and a passion for change.
- Integrity
recognizes an atmosphere of mutual trust and places emphasis on
uncompromising character and ethics.
- Leadership includes commitment and
accountability as well as a focus on people development.
- Results oriented includes a focus on speed and
being numbers driven.
At the heart of our values are our people. Black & Decker employees
are role models for our business and our values. They are independent
thinkers who lead by example and are able to excel as both an individual
and within a team environment.
