GROWTH & DEVELOPMENT Learning activities provide opportunities to step back
from day-to-day work, to reflect on themselves, to experience new thinking and to listen to others. At EILEEN FISHER, individual and collective growth is encouraged through:
Group off-site meetings where they explore their work together on key topics or business opportunities.
Internal workshops designed for a shared learning experience the ways they relate as leaders or individual contributors.
External training/education programs ranging from degree programs at colleges and universities to workshops on specific topics related to their work.
Taking on new tasks or projects with guidance from someone who has experience.
Participation on key teams such as the Wellness Committee, the Social Consciousness Committee, various volunteerism teams, their Eco Product Team, their Diversity & Inclusion Task Force and their Peer Partner program to support new employees.
They believe that the development of their people and of their collaborative teams helps their company thrive both culturally and financially. It also supports their employees in their nonwork lives. As one of their leaders said recently, “Working at this company has made me a better person.”
ENVIRONMENTTheir environmental initiative is a
company priority, involving changes big and small—from developing eco materials and supporting renewable energy to recycling clothing. It's a commitment to their belief in honoring the earth and its connection to our well being. By seeking the best practices throughout the lifecycle of their products, they are creating healthier environments for farmers, supply chain workers and future generations.

PEOPLE AT EFWhen I interview prospective
employees, I often talk about how people start their careers at EILEEN FISHER doing one thing. As they grow and develop, they switch gears and sometimes reinvent themselves entirely.” - Celeste Thompson, Human Resources

What sets EF apart from other places you have worked?
Having worked for small companies before EILEEN FISHER, I've actually been impressed that I've found more similarities than differences.
The camaraderie and community I cherished about the small businesses also thrives in the EILEEN FISHER work culture.
Our passion and commitment to sustainability, ECO initiatives and human rights truly inspires me.
