The Carrier Way

The Carrier Way is the foundation of how we operate and succeed as one team. It defines:

Purpose, Our why — our reason for being, the impact we have on the world.
Vision, Our ambition — who we aspire to be, where we are going.
Values, Our absolutes — the guiding principles for everything we do.
Culture, Our behaviors — how we work and win together.

Together, these elements shape how we show up every day—guiding our decisions, strengthening our teams, and driving the impact we create for our customers and the world.

Leading People The Carrier Way

Leading People The Carrier Way extends The Carrier Way into how we lead and develop our people. It defines our Talent Philosophy—the principles that guide how we grow talent—and our Leader Success Model—the expectations for how leaders at Carrier show up and lead others.

Our goal is simple: to build the best teams with exceptional talent—so we can grow, compete, and win, differentiated by the strength of our people.

Build best teams

Talent Philosophy

Guiding principles for how People Leaders develop talent and Build Best Teams.

We value BEHAVIORS while achieving results.

We use the “what” and the “how” to assess performance and potential. We role model The Carrier Way behaviors and hold each other accountable to do the same.

We DEVELOP and help our people grow.

We support a culture of growth, valuing experiences and cross-company movement to accelerate development. Employees own their development, with support from their leader.

We are TRANSPARENT and give real-time feedback.

We discuss performance and potential, so all employees can grow and succeed. Leaders and employees give and receive two-way feedback candidly and constructively.

We PERFORM by setting stretch goals.

We coach for higher performance, raise the bar every year, hold individuals and teams accountable and take timely action.

We DIFFERENTIATE based on contributions.

We recognize and reward both high performance and high potential through differentiated investment, development, compensation and career progression.
