Belonging and Engagement

Ingersoll Rand is committed to upholding an inclusive and engaging environment where all employees can succeed. Our values of “We foster inspired teams” and “We think and act like owners” drives us to maintain a culture that gives voice and opportunity to all employees and enhances a sense of belonging. We expect everyone to uphold these values with humility, integrity, and respect. We focus on attracting the best talent from all backgrounds, ensuring employees are engaged, have a strong sense of belonging, and have opportunities to develop and grow. We understand that achieving our objectives requires a continuous focus on talent attraction, retention, engagement and development. By prioritizing these areas, we are confident in our ability to cultivate a workforce that is not only highly skilled but also reflects our global community. We collaborate with universities, key industry, and professional organizations, such as Disability IN, the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers, National Black MBA Association and Women in Manufacturing, to recruit early and mid-level talent. These partnerships help us build a top talent pipeline.

We are dedicated to supporting our employees’ growth and development. We provide many development opportunities for early career employees, including global internships, engineering, marketing, and manufacturing career programs. In 2024, we won two Brandon Hall Group Excellence Awards. The Brandon Hall Group recognizes organizations that have successfully deployed programs, strategies, and tools that have achieved measurable results. We received a gold award in the Talent Management Category for “Think and Act Like an Owner at Ingersoll Rand.” We continuously strive to enhance our workforce’s technical, professional, and leadership capabilities at every level. Our leadership development programs are designed to promote inclusion as a core development principle and a professional skill. We offer skill-based programs to upskill our manufacturing employees to meet the industry’s ever-changing demands. In addition, we successfully deliver an executive-level program called “Lead Like an Owner” to establish the standard of leadership and build succession at the top of the organization. To support the development of our employees, we have various resources and programs in place to facilitate their growth and progress. Our offerings align with our values and strategies, reflected in our competencies. We offer both instructor-led and online learning content globally. By offering each and every employee opportunities to learn and grow and an ownership stake in the Company, we have built one of the most engaged workforces in our industry. In May 2024, our Connections Engagement survey achieved an 88% participation rate, resulting in an engagement score of 81. This places Ingersoll Rand again in the top 10% of manufacturing organizations surveyed. In addition, our survey questions scored above the manufacturing benchmark collected by our engagement survey partner, with our essential employee satisfaction measure ranking two points above the top 10% manufacturing average. Our continually strong employee engagement is also driven by our ownership mindset and our employees’ perspective that Ingersoll Rand is “my company.” We provide equity grants to all employees, whether they join as new hires or through acquisition, after one year of service. This, along with our solid strategy, strong values, and clear expectations, has given us strong engagement and a competitive edge.

Because of the investments we have made in our employees, we continue to receive external recognition for being a great place to work. Accolades include winning Great Place to Work in the United States and in several Latin American countries. Through our Human Capital Management activities, we reflect our value of “We foster inspired teams.” We nurture and celebrate a culture that embraces diverse points of view, backgrounds, and experiences and truly empower our employees as owners.

The activities of Ingersoll Rand impact the lives of millions around the world, and we recognize we play an important role in respecting and upholding human rights. To illustrate our active commitment to and respect of human rights in our business relationships, we developed our human rights policy to further embed and ensure responsibility for people throughout Ingersoll Rand.
