GOOD EMPLOYER

We would be nothing without our employees, and that’s exactly why we value them so much. We strive to make every Murphy-Brown employee feel like a member of our team from their first day on the job.

Promote from Within

The skills and knowledge that our employees have are critical to the success of our business. At Murphy-Brown we invest in our employees through training, management resources and development. The excellence and growth we see as a result are well worth the effort.

We encourage our team members to talk with their supervisors about their career plans. This allows us to provide the guidance and educational assistance needed to grant the promotions they’re looking for. Anytime there is an open position at Murphy-Brown, employees get the opportunity to apply and advance in the company according to their skills and experience.

Training

At Murphy-Brown, properly trained employees are our best asset. Our team members work more safely, create a better work environment and do a better job overall due to their training. That’s exactly why you’ll receive the training and instruction you need to perform your job correctly when you join our team.

We’re especially proud of Step Plan—our unique technical training program, which includes financial incentives for employees to complete training certification goals. It’s just one reason why we regularly receive industry recognition for the training that all of our production employees receive.

Every time we receive recognition for our industry-leading safety record, we attribute that success to our training program, too. Our Oklahoma locations received the Management Commitment Award in 2007, one of three recognition awards given out by Smithfield Foods. In 2006, our Texhoma operation was recognized by Smithfield Foods as the first runner-up for the Smithfield President’s trophy. This was quite an achievement following a concentrated effort to improve operations at this location.

Community Involvement

Our employees are proud to work for a company that is committed to supporting the local communities in which we operate.

Our operations are the financial foundation of many communities across the Midwest and Western United States.

• We are the largest employer in many communities, providing competitive employee wages and benefits.
• Each year, Murphy-Brown contributes hundreds of millions of dollars to the economies of the communities where we do business through our contract-grower relationships, patronage of local businesses, taxes and charitable contributions.
