Top Employer

“Agrium has been recognized as a top Albertan and Canadian employer a few times and this gave me confidence that they would be a good company to work for.  After all, they have a reputation to uphold.”

Employee Development

Growth is a big part of Agrium’s culture so it makes sense that we put emphasis on employee development.  Growth is an expectation of all employees, where they have aspirations of advancing their career or want to improve and development within an existing role. Employees are encouraged to work with their leader to develop a career plan.  Employees also have access to 360-degree feedback tools that help them identify their strengths, weaknesses and development opportunities.  Learn more

Leadership Development

 “There is more to being a leader than just training.  You also need mentoring and opportunity to test your skills.  My opportunity came in the form of train-the-trainer exercises at the sites.  The hands-on approach puts my learning into practice.”
– Ravinder P. 

Leadership development is important at Agrium.  As an example, we hold an annual Leadership Forum that brings together the senior leaders from around the world.  At this event external speakers provide global perspectives on what it means to be a leader in today’s global economy, both from an individual and a Company perspective.

We’re also proud to operate a leadership group for women called Agrium Women’s Leadership Group (AWLG).  This is a grassroots group, with senior leadership support, that focuses on professional development for women.  Men are also invited to relevant AWLG events to facilitate partnerships.

Workplace Inclusion & Diversity

In our business, Agrium employees interact with people who have backgrounds from around the world – including but not limited to growers, engineers, retailers, customers and business partners.  This is one of the reasons why we value employees that contribute to our understanding of different educational backgrounds, cultures, ages and languages.  We believe a diverse and inclusive workforce helps Agrium communicate more effectively and adds to its business success.  Learn more
