career development are motivating factors for prospective
talent
CHICAGO, June 26,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Kellanova (formerly Kellogg
Company and maker
of Pringles®, Cheez-It®, Pop-Tarts® and
more) today unveiled findings from "What About Me? Attracting Top
Talent in a Shifting Job Market", a new multi-country study that
asked 3,500 students and employed adults from the U.S.,
Canada, U.K., Mexico, Australia and India what attributes of the employee
experience offered by a prospective employer are most important to
them. Nearly all (95%) respondents said they pursue workplaces that
clearly demonstrate how they can make an impact, and in return,
they want to be rewarded for their accomplishments. Nearly
two-thirds (63%) of respondents also said workplace flexibility and
career development are equally essential in committing to both the
role and the workplace that best suits them.

Survey Finding Highlights
- Job seekers universally view attributes that benefit their
individual careers and wellbeing as most appealing when it comes to
work experience. 95% of respondents want a workplace that rewards
them for the impact they make and 94% want the opportunity
to unleash their potential and become their best. 92% of
candidates expect their employer to place a priority on their
wellbeing.
- There is high value placed on programs and benefits that foster
flexibility. 64% of respondents rated paid time off (PTO) and
leave policies as a must-have and 37% felt that a hybrid office
environment was a differentiator.
- While healthcare benefits lead in the U.S. and Canada (62%), healthcare benefits and
financial incentives are both the most expected benefits and the
benefits most likely to increase interest in a company. Continuing
education and skills-based training paid for by an employer
followed closely behind.
- Career development is the top must-have for students (64%) –
outpacing PTO and leave policies (63%) and compensation (57%) –
emphasizing the importance of investment in skills and growth.
- Job seekers take notice of a company's legacy and brands.
About 40% of respondents consider history of philanthropy and
commitment to sustainability as differentiators. 39% consider
a company's longstanding relationship with consumers/customers and
a portfolio of beloved brands as differentiating.
The research was commissioned to support the development and
rollout of Kellanova's new aspiration to build a Culture of
Best and its refreshed and simplified values of Integrity,
Accountability and Courage. Kellanova's "Culture of Best"
celebrates boldness and empowers employees to challenge the status
quo, achieve results and win together. Ingrained in the company's

"The start of our new era as Kellanova is a unique opportunity
for us to evolve our culture and ways of working, to better connect
our people and their work to our vision, our purpose and our
strategy," said Steve Cahillane,
Kellanova Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer. "Our
goal in defining our Culture of Best was to capture what it will
take for us to become the world's best-performing snacks-led
powerhouse and inspiring our best teams to do it."
"Through this survey, we engaged in a thorough process to
understand what existing and potential talent are looking for in an
employer," said Melissa Howell,
Chief Human Resources Officer at Kellanova. "We know people want
flexibility in the workplace, access to learning and development
opportunities, and the ability to make a real impact. That's why we
offer flexible working options and programs like our Tigerhall
learning and development platform. We also offer competitive
benefits to our employees. In the U.S., for example, we offer
comprehensive Physical, Emotional and Financial health benefits,
including best-in-class offerings such as fertility support
coverage, free counseling visits through our Employee Assistance
Plan, a company match on Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account
(FSA) contributions, free access to a financial advisor, and much
more."
Howell added, "These programs are all part of our commitment to
build our Culture of Best. We want to help our employees meet their
physical, financial, emotional and social health needs so they can
bring their best selves to work and build powerhouse careers at
Kellanova."
