Richardson International Sustainability Report 2022

Employee Engagement Richardson strives to be an employer of choice. We actively recruit in the local communities where we operate facilities and provide competitive pay, benefits, and retirement programs. Our ‘promote from within’ culture is predicated on the principle of training and empowering our people to take on more challenging roles within and across the organization. As we operate in many different geographies, career progression often means physical relocation. We closely support our people and

their families as they transfer between operating units. We bolster our ‘promote from within’ philosophy through: • Specialized development programs for recent post-secondary school graduates • Leadership development programs • Annual internal conferences and learning initiatives • Business skills training

• Health and safety training • Annual succession planning

Company-Wide

• Paid training and education opportunities • Annual performance reviews • Annual objective setting and career aspiration setting • Ongoing relocation program • Active communications about internal job openings • Specialized employee development programs

EH&S and Food Safety

• Committee and managerial training

Operations

• Collective bargaining agreements • Multi-employer agreements • Automation implemented to replace routine manual tasks

Richardson supports ongoing learning and development to educate our people and connect on topics important to our customers and the growth of our business. CropWatch Innovation Tour, Bennett Farm RICHARDSON, SK
