Career Development is a<br />

Strategic Investment<br />

At <strong>Clorox</strong>, we’re committed to developing our people. We focus on building<br />

the capabilities of <strong>Clorox</strong> people from their very first day at our company, as they<br />

evolve in their careers and as they grow into future opportunities. We believe<br />

that people development helps us attract and retain the best and brightest minds<br />

and maintain a competitive edge in the marketplace.<br />

We provide dozens of training programs, as well as internal and external development resources for<br />

employees, managers and executives.<br />

Strong Leaders Share Common Traits<br />

At <strong>Clorox</strong>, we know that strong leadership is key to our success, and we focus on five key<br />

leadership traits. In fact, each year, <strong>Clorox</strong> recognizes outstanding leaders who demonstrate<br />

the <strong>Clorox</strong> leadership traits.<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Clorox</strong> Leadership Traits<br />

Integrity Acting with integrity builds trust. At its foundation, integrity is about telling the truth and having the courage<br />

to stand behind what you believe is right.<br />

Optimism Great people lead from optimism, knowing that a winning attitude creates positive energy and engagement<br />

Curiosity Ideas drive organizations and progress. Leaders can continue to get better at what they do only if they are<br />

truly curious about their craft.<br />

Compassion Compassionate leaders show people that they matter and treat them with respect<br />

Humility Humble leaders are accessible and approachable. <strong>The</strong>y are driven by the greater good, and they understand<br />

the value of others around them.<br />

Learning to Lead<br />

We focus on building great leaders through a number of programs, including the Diamond<br />

Leadership Institute (DLI). DLI aims to help <strong>Clorox</strong> employees realize their leadership potential.<br />

<strong>The</strong> four DLI programs currently offered by the company provide unique cross-functional<br />

experiences designed to develop leadership and management skills at all levels.<br />

All employees have a variety of other training programs at their fingertips. <strong>Clorox</strong> offers dozens of<br />

self-paced, online courses and hands-on, instructor-led courses on topics ranging from our company<br />

strategy and conflict management, to communicating effectively and presenting powerfully, to<br />

ergonomics and understanding financial statements and much more. Worldwide, 85 percent of<br />

<strong>Clorox</strong> employees receive annual training and career development reviews.<br />

We also understand that learning is a lifelong pursuit. Our education assistance program provides<br />

financial aid for employees seeking to continue their education by earning degrees or certificates from<br />

regionally and nationally accredited educational institutions. This program assists our employees in<br />

developing skills and knowledge that contribute to their current job and future career opportunities.<br />
