Our workplace health and safety committees meet to address issues and discuss ways to upgrade our already high safety standards.

HyLife’s Ongoing Commitment to Consumer Food Safety
Consumers place their trust in the quality, nutritional value and safety of our products. HyLife never takes this trust for granted.

Comments from Participants
How will the Master’s program benefit our company?
One of the most important aspects of HyLife’s Mission Statement is, we take care of our employees. And, a great way to do this is by providing our employees with unique opportunities to develop and enhance their skill set. The Masters program benefits HyLife because our employees are given opportunities to step outside their primary role and develop skills in new areas, learn more about the company, and connect as a team.
Have you seen any benefits of this program?
An exciting benefit of the program includes valuable feedback from our Masters group to provide innovative solutions that go beyond the special projects they worked on during the program. For example, the year one Masters team provided advice on HyLife’s Strategy Map and Mission Statement – neither of which were identified as areas we needed them to work on but which added tremendous value to the company.
How will the Master’s program affect the culture of HyLife?
We have seen our Masters group work together with Senior Management and other leaders in the company to form a special bond which goes beyond the projects they are working on. This level of teamwork sets a powerful example throughout the company that regardless of what department or position we are in, we can achieve significant results when we work with cross-functional teams.
What impact will this program have on recruitment and retention?
The Masters program provides high potential talent with opportunities to learn and grow and contribute to our recruitment and retention process. These are key factors in engaging these up-and-comers within HyLife.
Masters team members who succeed through the program will be well positioned for future opportunities which will also enhance their connection and commitment to the company. When other employees hear about the program, they will also realize there are opportunities for everyone and will be inspired to participate in the various learning and development programs. This is attractive for people outside the company who will be encouraged when joining HyLife that there are many doors of opportunity open for them.
The tours and presentations aspect is also a great experience. Our team found them extremely valuable because it shows a bigger picture of HyLife than what most see. Getting involved in all aspects of HyLife encourage those who have never been in a barn (or been to the plant) to learn more about HyLife Foods and its impact within the company. This became a great learning experience to see each person’s area and to see the various tasks they manage each day.
Our Masters group had the pleasure of getting to interact with HyLife’s Sr. Management team and work closely with many of them as well. From discussion to interaction in a group setting, this became a valuable learning experience. Our team enjoyed the numerous discussions in a one-on-one setting during the events throughout the prestigious Masters program.
From business to personal interaction, with our Senior Management team, we’ve seen the amazing growth HyLife employees have experienced. At HyLife, we take care of our employees, our customers and our communities.
