Professional Development

At Whirlpool Corporation, we believe that an employee's growth, whether it is personal or professional, leads to a more enriched and enlightened work environment. For this reason, we offer a variety of opportunities for development and growth through employment at Whirlpool.  The professional development structure includes learning and growth opportunities in Innovation, Customer Excellence, Operational Excellence and key functional and technical skills.

In 2005, Whirlpool Corporation was named to the "2005 List of Top 20 U.S. Companies for Leaders" -- the second consecutive year the company was acknowledged for its focus on developing leaders within the company.  Sponsored by global human resources services firm Hewitt Associates and The Human Resource Planning Society (HRPS), the "Top 20 Companies for Leaders" were selected by an independent panel of judges.

Our commitment to developing leaders is one of the foundational elements of our global strategy.  Whirlpool offers affective leadership development experiences in the classroom, as well as mentoring and executive coaching.
