If you look up “engagement” in the dictionary, you’ll see our logo next to the definition. We’re not toe-dippers; we’re deep-divers.

When our CMO, Joan Chow, was asked by an industry-leading publication if “it’s just one big party over there,” here’s what she said: “It’s not that it’s a party. It’s just the passion and commitment of the people here is just amazing. I see that across different functions, in the home office, in the field, in our plants – at all levels. People are so dedicated to making great food that families will love. It’s just so heartening to see.”

Because we look at both consumer and shopper behavior, we better understand the needs of our customers, which enables us to take a more holistic approach to running our business. This, plus the fact that we’ve really pumped in a lot of human and dollar resources to put some scale behind this approach is what makes us different – and better.

Our DNA’s a little different. Several Centers of Excellence comprise Global Marketing and connect with one another through an Integrated Marketing process, which helps each team transfer its expertise across the organization. So, because 80 percent of our Integrated Customer Marketing people reside in market with their customer teams, they’re able to teach everyone else about the realities of retail execution. This business model has helped us speak their language, understand their processes and offer input into their decisions.

Insights also help us connect with our consumers wherever they’re at – in store, online, in print, at the movies, watching TV, at the ball game, in the airport or on Twitter.™

If your head’s spinning, don’t worry. You’ll fit right into management rotation programs that give people a taste of life in different parts of the organization. It’s all part of making the food you love … better.

in fiscaL 2009,For example, we thought a lot of frozen foods had that, well, frozen food taste. So, we figured out a way to translate the natural freshness of steam cooking to a technology fit for the microwave and came up with Healthy Choice® Café Steamers™. Over the past two years, we’ve built on that platform and introduced Healthy Choice Fresh Mixers and Marie Callender’s® Home-Style™ Creations. This summer, new Healthy Choice Lunch Steamers promise fresh tastes and a new look for lunch, while Marie Callender’s debuts new twists on classic dinners for two that consumers can pop in the microwave or cook in the oven.

We’re not afraid to think outside the box. In fact, we encourage it. That’s why we’re recognized as a leader in packaging.

Last year, Hunt’s® ketchup captured a Worldstar award – a big deal – from the World packaging organization for packaging that is both innovative and sustainable.

“Going forward, the company continues to innovate strongly, particularly in the frozen segment, and is using its combination of new technologies … to drive the top line. These actions are clearly driving growth in the company’s strongest brands.”

Studies conducted by management consulting firm Watson Wyatt show that, when employees are engaged, they’re more likely to go the extra mile to help the organization succeed and use their discretionary effort to help the business win. Employee engagement levels reached 82 percent at ConAgra Foods in the 2009 Watson Wyatt study, a seven-point increase over 2008, which puts us 10 percentage points above the norm established by high-performing companies.

But as engaged as we are in making the food people love, we’re also deeply involved in the communities in which we live and work.
