People-The Foundation of Our Success

 

We understand that our business is only as strong as our people. That's why at Fellowes, we make the satisfaction of our employees a top priority. From our competitive benefits and compensation packages to our devotion to career development, we strive to create a positive work environment.

 

 

Due to the breadth of the Fellowes organization, our employees have a wide range of opportunities. Our culture, firmly grounded in the values of a third-generation family business, encourages initiative and integrity. Our work environment is based on respect for individuals in an atmosphere of collaboration with a focus on results. We also know that satisfied people are more successful and productive, so we remain mindful of ensuring work/life balance.

 

 

At Fellowes®, we are committed to providing our employees with the tools and support that they need to succeed. Our extensive benefits packages and development programs are proof of this.

 

Benefits & Development

 

Fellowes offers a progressive process for fostering employee development. Establishing goals and an annual development plan are the first step. Based on these, employees receive coaching throughout the year. Programs are identified to support chosen career paths and to build on identified developmental areas. We provide every employee with the tools and support to set goals, measure performance and identify future development opportunities.


Fellowes Employee Development Process

 

Addressing three key questions, the development process is split into these areas. Each employee works with his or her manager and a human resource representative to develop a plan based upon these key questions.


Training Programs

 

The primary purpose of our training and development programs is to improve individual and team performance. The programs we offer are tied to specific business needs and focus on skill development or mastery. Training plans and programs are put together based on each individual's needs. Fellowes also offers:

  • Tuition Reimbursement to help you acquire important career-building skills
  • Scholarship programs for Fellowes employees and their children
  • Seminars, both formal and informal, that cover a broad selection of topics

Comprehensive and Flexible Benefits

 

Fellowes offers a comprehensive benefits package to cover health, recognition, retirement, insurance and work/life balance. To ensure that these programs meet specific needs, there are several options to choose from. The options are designed to carry employees through retirement while helping them achieve their goals.

 

Living Healthy

 

Fellowes is committed to delivering the tools and information you need to stay healthy, manage your health care needs and get better faster. Since every employee has different needs, they can select from a range of healthcare options. We also support overall wellness through various company-sponsored health initiatives. Our primary healthcare programs include medical (including PPO and HMO options), dental, vision, prescription drugs and an employee assistance program.


Saving for the Future

 

Saving for retirement is both smart and comforting. Fellowes offers two ways to save for your future including a Savings Incentive Plan 401(k) with a company match and an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP).


Insuring Your Security

 

Planning for the future also means planning for the unexpected. To ease the burden of an accident, illness or injury, Fellowes' insurance plans protect employees and their families with financial security. Available programs include disability insurance, term life insurance and AD&D insurance.


Achieving Work/Life Balance

 

It can be a challenge to balance your professional demands and personal commitments. As a close-knit community that respects and values its employees, Fellowes works hard to help employees through several of life's stages by providing assistance with such things as family care, an employee assistance program, an optional legal assistance program, and more.


Rewards and Recognition

 

Fellowes knows that extraordinary efforts positively impact our business. Exceptional work, whether in a team setting or as an individual, is rewarded and recognized through a variety of incentives. If you're an achiever, you'll find many opportunities for personal reward. Included among these programs are: Cash Profit Sharing Plan, Fellowes Forward Awards and Service Awards programs.
