What's it Like to Work at Maple Leaf?
We are Growing
Maple Leaf Foods is a growing food company with leading brands where we are consistently making significant investments in our people and our lines of business. And that creates opportunities for employees. We primarily operate in North America and the U.K. and market our products all around the world, including Asia. Our vision is to be a globally admired meat, meals and bakery company. We are expanding by acquisition and organic growth. We are constantly innovating to create new products and we launch hundreds of products a year.
We Live our Values
Our culture starts with our Vision and Values. Our Leadership Values are simply everyday tenants to live by like “Do What’s Right,” “Deliver Winning Results” and “Dare To Be Transparent, Passionate and Humble.” Our culture is a great working environment that has extraordinary attraction for the right people. The ideal person for Maple Leaf Foods is an action-oriented teacher and role model of our Leadership Values. Our employees are passionate, entrepreneurial and have a proven record of achieving significant business results, while operating in a style that is consistent with our Leadership Values.
We support our people
We work hard but also believe strongly that balancing time spent in and outside work is essential for all employees. We strive to evaluate employees on what they produce, not how much time they are at the office. We do not have a work-life balance policy; instead, we empower each individual to work with their manager to best balance their work commitments and time to fit individual circumstances. Although shift work in our distribution and production facilities requires a more regular schedule, we look for opportunities to support flexible hours where possible. Maple Leaf compensates our people based on performance and there is extensive opportunity for those who achieve. Employee benefits further support our people through comprehensive health and dental insurance programs as well as a competitive retirement savings plan.
We are a responsible company
Maple Leaf Foods cares about the world around us and strives to be a world-class corporate citizen. On several fronts including the environment, food safety and nutrition, we always look for ways to improve and do what’s right. Our corporate giving is focused on food related charities and we are proud to donate to several charitable initiatives. Annually Maple Leaf Foods sponsors a Community Day and encourages employees to contribute what they can – from food bank donations and fundraising to volunteering their time that day to a local charity group.
At Maple Leaf Foods, we don’t simply fill job vacancies. We recognize the value of talent and we create career opportunities for the right people. Maple Leaf Foods is committed to a respectful workplace, free of harassment and discrimination in hiring and during employment. Our company supports our people and we think broadly about our role in our community. We offer many exciting career possibilities and our focus on global expansion opens the door to even more opportunities!
