Supporting Colgate Employees
Year after year Colgate is asked what makes the Company successful. The answer is
almost always “Our People.” The dedication, ingenuity and hard work of 39,000 employees
drive Colgate’s success, and the Company is committed to helping them not just to
work, but to thrive.
Programs to foster diversity and inclusion, training, career development and work-life
balance help Colgate people stay healthy, appreciated and recognized for their efforts.
And, in an economy where workers change jobs more frequently than in the past, Colgate
employees remain with the Company an average of thirteen years.
