A look inside 3M’s Total Rewards
Here, you can grow through challenging work at a leading global company and be rewarded for your efforts. When you excel at work you’re passionate about, it contributes to 3M’s success and creates even more success for yourself. Look around and you’ll see that inspired opportunities are everywhere.
3M Total Rewards includes a range of plans and programs that are intended to attract, retain and motivate the high-performing employees we depend on for growth and success. 3M Total Rewards break down into three areas:
Your pay. Be rewarded for your efforts with a competitive base salary and variable incentive pay linked to company and individual performance.
Your benefits. Live your best with unique resources and high-quality benefits. Some benefits include a 3M employee stock purchase plan, study assistance, flexible working, life insurance, private medical cover discounts, a retail and lifestyle discount program and many other resources can enhance your life, both physically and financially.
Your life at 3M. Grow through challenging work by leading important projects, working with diverse, talented people and finding endless opportunities to develop your skills – while enjoying access to many perks, programs and resources.
When you are paid at 3M, you are being recognised for the meaningful contributions you make to 3M’s business results. To ensure that our pay remains aligned with our desire to remain competitive, 3M regularly benchmarks pay and benefits with other companies that are comparable in size and scope.
Your pay may include two components: base salary and variable pay. While base pay applies to all employees, variable pay is offered to eligible employees and may include annual incentives, sales incentives or other incentives.
Annual Incentive Plan (AIP)
The Annual Incentive Plan (AIP) aligns a portion of eligible employees’ pay with company, business unit and individual performance. In most cases, you are eligible for the AIP if you are an active, non-production, salaried 3M employee. Employees eligible to receive sales incentive compensation do not participate in the AIP.
Sales Incentives
Each sales representative’s pay includes base pay and sales incentives, paid monthly or quarterly, depending on the business you represent.
Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP)
Management-level (and equivalent) employees are eligible to receive equity grants based on their level of responsibility, individual contribution and leadership performance.
Your benefits are an important part of your total compensation at 3M. You are eligible to participate in most of these benefits beginning on your first day of employment.
