ATTRACTING THE BEST TALENT
Employees at a number of our operations stretch
before beginning their day. Stretching helps fend
off repetitive motion and other orthopedic injuries.
At Martin Marietta, we work to create and sustain a workplace of safe, healthy and highly engaged employees.
By focusing on a diverse and inclusive environment, we attract and retain talent from all backgrounds for all levels.

EMPLOYEE SURVEY PROVIDES VALUABLE FEEDBACK
In April 2018, Martin Marietta sought to gain a greater understanding of its overall employee experience by surveying
more than 2,000 employees with truly diverse backgrounds.
Martin Marietta worked with a third-party firm to solicit opinions on a multitude of topics, including workplace culture,
career development, work/life balance and the onboarding process. While many of the respondents rated the company
highly, certain elements of Martin Marietta’s operations were identified as potential growth areas.
In response, several employee-led task forces were created to review these key operational elements and propose steps
for improvement. One task force, for example, is analyzing the job and safety training new employees receive from day one
through completion of the first year. Another is working to re-energize employee communication efforts. Vice President of
Total Rewards Kelly Bennett says the recommendations of these task forces represent but a small part of our efforts to better
serve our employees.
“We want to make sure our employees have the opportunity to succeed in every avenue of their lives,” Bennett said.
“That goal requires constant attention. We will remain focused on taking the steps necessary to facilitate their personal
EMPLOYEE WELL-BEING growth and professional satisfaction.”
OUR EMPLOYEES BELIEVE:
At Martin Marietta, our people are the foundation of our success. Their excellence and passion drive
our performance. We are committed to providing resources and programs to maintain the safety and 65% 78%
