Dow's Recognition and Reward

You believe in delivering your very best on the job every day and you want to be compensated accordingly for your performance. We share your work ethic and believe that compensation should be tied to your performance and the overall success of the company. This is why Dow has established a pay-for-performance compensation approach that rewards you according to your contributions.

We also believe top talent at Dow should earn top tier compensation. Dow consistently ranks among top paying employers in each market where we operate.

Dow offers attractive benefits packages which typically include the following:

• retirement plans
• health insurance
• life insurance
• disability coverage
• business travel insurance
• employee stock purchase plan
• generous vacation and holidays

While benefits vary by country, our programs rank among those offered by top multinational companies doing business in the places where we operate.

At Dow, we believe in letting you know we’ve noticed your good work and showing our appreciation for your contributions.

To make it easy to say “thank you” regularly and meaningfully across the miles, we have established the web-based Recognition@Dow tool, available 24/7 for use by all employees to recognize their colleagues’ day-to-day contributions as well as milestone results.

The highest level of this recognition program is the Diamond Keepsake Award which rewards an outstanding employee – with a cash bonus equal to 20 or 30 percent of monthly pay – for extraordinary personal initiative and impact on our company or our customers.

Dow’s other employee recognition programs include a number of performance and service awards.

In addition, our prestigious Transformation In Action Recognition Award recognizes Dow people who exemplify the Company’s Transformational Core Competencies in results and behaviors.

Dow’s success depends on the skills and knowledge you bring to the workplace. To ensure you are always in the forefront in your respective fields, we encourage continuous learning – in classrooms, on assignment or on the web. In 2007, Dow people around the world completed more than a million hours of web-based courses and spent more than 600,000 hours in on-site classroom learning.

We also support informal learning through mentoring relationships or participation in employee networks.

In addition, our tuition refund policy allows you to pursue continuing education that aligns with your personal development and the company’s needs.

Dow also invests in a robust Leadership Development Program which provides you with the opportunities to hone your leadership skills and apply new insights in leading the Dow team to success.

At Dow, we believe that each employee can make a difference. And can make it here. Opportunity is the operative word. We look for candidates who thrive in a collaborative environment.

Our founder Herbert H. Dow believed that one should always try to do things better. His commitment to improving methods and products and never settling for the status quo shaped more than 100 years of discovery and innovation at Dow. We encourage Dow employees to constantly ask “what if?” or “why not?” We recognize possibilities and push beyond boundaries to find new ways to use science to improve the human condition.

We are one team, united in our mission to constantly improve what is essential to human progress by mastering science and technology – an endeavor rooted in our founder’s belief and commitment.

But the Dow culture is more than improving the quality of life for people everywhere and doing it better. Learn more about what makes us uniquely Dow.
