Individual Expectations and Rewards 

 

 

Dual-career ladder

 

• 3M has two parallel career paths in the technical organization. In addition to management, there is a technical path which is identical in prestige, position, compensation and perks. It allows employees to be promoted without abandoning what they do best -- research and development.

• As a result, 3M doesn’t lose good scientists and engineers only to gain poor managers, a common problem in the manufacturing sector.

 

Honour employees

 

• The Carlton Society honors top 3M scientists who develop innovative new products and contribute to the company’s culture of innovation

• Circle of Technical Excellence and Innovation
