Why Join Mars

As a Mars Associate, you can count on our commitment to your growth and development as you work across our world-famous brands.
Our Associates come from a diverse range of backgrounds and are as different as our products, so we tailor our mentoring and coaching to each individual. We’re here to support you today so that you can build a better world tomorrow.

Development at Mars

We really value our Associates and the amazing contribution they make to our business, so we think it’s only fair we invest in their future.

By giving Associates the opportunity to grow in their roles and access to our digital learning offerings, great functional colleges, and award-winning Leadership programs, they are empowered to take ownership of their career development

At Mars, all of our Associates across the business, from graduate trainees to General Managers, have a Personal Development Plan.

Through their PDP our Associates define each year with their managers their functional and personal development objectives.

Managers then have regular sessions with their Associates throughout the year to touch base on their performance, development and career opportunities.

As part of their Personal Development Plan, our Associates are encouraged to use our 70/20/10 learning methodology.

Learning by doing: 70% of our Associate's development is based on experimenting and practicing;
Learning from others: 20% of our Associate's development comes from benefiting from the experience, advice and support of others;
Learning events: 10% of our Associate's development comes from our training and courses such as e-learning, training guidelines, and group discussions.

Mars University is not a building or even a physical place. It’s a range of learning programs and activities designed to help Associates build the capabilities they need to succeed in their role today and enhance their performance tomorrow.

Established in 2006, Mars University empowers Associates to not only learn on the job but also through their peers, subject matter experts, mentors, and coaches. Most importantly, it champions all Associates to continuously develop their skills based on career aspirations or passions.

Underpinned by our ‘always-on’ learning culture, Associates are encouraged to use Mars University to build and refresh their skills in a dynamic and engaging way - enabling them to become the best version of themselves.
