Creating a Great Place to Work
Our ambition is to create a workplace that employees embrace and other
companies view as a model worth following. That’s why we set a 2015
goal to earn recognition as one of the FORTUNE 100 Best Companies
to Work For. At MillerCoors, our investment in our people starts with
building a world-class safety culture. In October, we brought together
140 union and hourly employees and management team members from
all manufacturing locations for a safety culture summit, to report on
their progress and enhance their skills. Coors Distributing Company
became the nation’s first beer distributor to be recognized for its health
and safety programs by the prestigious Voluntary Protection Program
of the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
MillerCoors invests in the professional development of its employees by
providing training and financial support for continuing education. Our
MillerCoors University hosted more than 7,000 students in 2010 for
approximately 173,000 training hours. Our commitment to training led
to development of a new, state-of-the-art learning facility for MillerCoors
University. We provided more than $630,000 in tuition reimbursement
to more than 200 employees during the year. To help our employees
determine which professional development opportunities are right
for them, we created a guide called “The Best of You: A Meaningful
Development Guide.”

identify countries outside of the U.S. as their home. Some are members
of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender community. Some are war

employees and managers is not enough. Our goal is to ensure that every
employee can confidently contribute their best. That includes their view-
