Performance Planning and Development
Ecolab’s global Performance Planning and Development process provides employees and their managers with the practices and tools they need to optimize performance. In addition to the annual performance review process, managers are encouraged to provide open feedback and coaching throughout the year to support employees in achieving their goals.
Annual performance reviews for 2024 were completed in 2025, and consisted of three sections:
- Past-year results against performance goals and expectations
- Summary of what and how they achieved results
- Performance and development planning for the new year

Learning and Development
Knowledge and expertise are core to what we do. We believe that it’s essential to provide associates with continuous learning and development opportunities.
In 2024, we delivered our annual Ecolab Development Season to provide workshops to upgrade employee skills and advance career development. The 2024 Development Season offered the opportunity for Ecolab associates to participate in development tracks and a catalog of over 20,000 courses. We had over 5,800 associates participating in live events. LinkedIn Learning was made available to associates and resulted in more than 28,000 course completions in 2024. The business impact of this program is measured through indicators within our annual employee engagement survey and our 2024 engagement, retention and inclusion scores.
In addition, Ecolab’s Employee Resource Groups (ERGs)—which are open to all associates—connect engaged, emerging leaders with professional and personal development opportunities. Our 11 employee-driven ERGs have grown to 9,300+ members and 103 chapters globally.
In 2022, we launched the Global Sustainability Network, an employee-led community group that works to advance Ecolab’s growth and impact through education, communication and collaboration on environmental sustainability issues. With more than 550 founding members, the group has grown to more than 2,500 members.
