Employer of Choice

Chart of the number of employees by country

The forest products industry is highly competitive. Work force demographics in North America are rapidly changing. In this dynamic environment, Weyerhaeuser must attract, engage and retain diverse talent to help us safely deliver on our commitments to customers and shareholders.

Our goal is to have current and prospective employees consistently recognize Weyerhaeuser as a preferred place to work—an "employer of choice." We accomplish this by:

  • Defining and communicating the unique employment experience that we offer:
    • A highly competitive compensation and benefits package (total value in the top quartile of peer companies)
    • A comprehensive education and training program
    • Challenging work that requires innovative thinking and offers growth and advancement opportunities
    • An inclusive, performance-driven culture that rewards results
    • The opportunity to be part of a highly respected company
  • Identifying and closing any gaps between what we say and what we do:

    • Our businesses annually update work force plans to proactively address challenges.
    • We routinely implement best practices across the company to improve performance in areas such as leadership development, cross-business teaming, and diversity improvement planning.

Underpinning our employer-of-choice strategy is a strong company culture that emphasizes safety, ethical conduct and environmental responsibility. Find more information about our Ethics and Business Conduct and Environmental Systems.
