Once employees join our team, they have access
to on-the-job training opportunities. In addition
to position-specific training, FMC offers a variety
of development and leadership programs that
nurture employees through different stages of
their career, including those described here.
• Pathways to Leadership: One of our most
popular courses, expanded from the United
States into Europe in 2012, this two-day
workshop teaches frontline managers and
those who lead project teams how to improve
their leadership and team member
development. The program includes post-
session follow-up on participant progress and
focuses on coaching for performance,
conducting effective meetings, distinguishing
leadership from management, and using teams
for problem solving.
• Institute for Management Studies (IMS):
FMC partners with IMS to provide leadership
education and professional development
training for employees. Seminars focus on topics
such as employee engagement, accountability,
leading through change, time management and
many others.
• Leadership Boot Camp: Nominated employees
attend six full days of Boot Camp sessions to
develop their personal leadership styles, practice
interpersonal skills, and learn how to effectively
lead teams at FMC. This program is now in its
fifth year. Additional training is held annually for
program attendees.
• FMC Academia: Our Latin America region
started this program to align its formal and
informal learning opportunities with the
company’s growth strategy and changing needs.
Development focuses on several knowledge
areas to improve leadership, business
competencies, quality of life, safety and the
environment.
Additionally, in 2012 FMC added a new role
focused on growth and succession planning. The
newly appointed Global Talent Management
director is responsible for ensuring a pipeline
of talent throughout the corporation, and for
placing an emphasis on learning and development
opportunities that grow employees at all levels of
their careers.
