Leadership and Ethics at General Mills
Ethics and diversity are two key factors contributing to the success of General Mills. In 2009 alone, General Mills received over 20 ethics and human resource related awards. The company was recognized for its commitment to their employees, receiving awards for managing diversity, working mothers, ethics and corporate citizenship. General Mills was listed to the Glassdoor.com "Employees' Choice- 50 Best Places to Work" and after reading employee comments and rankings for General Mills on the Glassdoor.com website, it was easy to see why.
Code of Conduct and Leadership
In the opening address from the CEO, the General Mills Code of Conduct states:
"We hold ourselves to a very high standard at General Mills. Nowhere is that more true than in our expectations for ethical conduct in every aspect of our business. For General Mills, high ethical standards are not something new. It is who we are."
At General Mills, they address the fact that ethical dilemmas can occur, and if you are faced with one, they have outlined questions to ask and steps to take when faced with such a decision:
- Speak Up- At General Mills, employees are trained to know what is expected and what is considered ethical practice. They encourage employees to ask questions and speak up if they are aware of actions taking place within the company that compromise their commitment to ethics. Employees are free to talk to managers about these issues, but they can also call the Ethics Line if that makes them feel more comfortable.
- Set Examples- General Mills addresses the increased risk for encountering an ethical dilemma when you manage a team- making answers difficult to find. In this situation, remember that ALL employees are accountable to the company and other members of the team, you want to create an open environment, consult available resources, support employees who raise questions and have concerns, as well as report any matters that don't comply with the company code of ethics, other company policies or the law.
- Ask Questions- The General Mills Code of Conduct also lays out some questions that employees should be able to answer "yes" to when making a decision: Would you feel comfortable with this news in the media? Will my decision protect the reputation of General Mills as an ethical company? Am I being fair and honest? Are my actions consistent with the law and company policies?
Focus on Employees
At General Mills, it's extremely evident that they provide a high level of support and take a lot of pride in their employees. General Mills provides a number of benefits to their employees- including pension and retirement funds, benefits for new mothers and fathers, as well as adopting parents, medical, dental and insurance benefits for both families and same sex partners, education advancement benefits and local perks for employees working out of the General Mills HQ in Golden Valley, Minnesota. In Canada and the US, all employees at General Mills qualify for their incentive program, as the company values each member's contribution to the team. General Mills offers flexible work arrangements whenever possible to assist employees in balancing their work and home lives.
The company also offers extensive training programs for employees within various divisions of the company, for example, "HR U" has been created for further training of HR professionals, "Champ Camp" has been created for new marketing professionals and technical professionals may end up training at "Cereal School". Employees can also undergo formal training sessions at the General Mills Institute, where they create programs aimed at developing employee skills to create future company leaders. The different training environments and formats available for training- they also offer web based training and individual development plans, make training more exciting for employees, allowing them to achieve greater benefits from training and better retention of information.
The Importance of Workplace Diversity
In the General Mills Code of Conduct, they state that they value diversity in the workplace because it brings new viewpoints to the table. When looking at the number of awards General Mills has won, many of them mirror the company's commitment to diversity, as General Mills has become a preferred employer by a number of diverse groups. A diverse workplace can also allow for greater understanding of consumer wants from the company, allowing General Mills to create and develop new products that meet the changing needs of their consumers. The corporate culture at General Mills is one of respect and inclusion, creating a mutual respect between employees at all levels.
In the article "Up Close with Mike Davis: General Mills' Playbook for Challenges in Unprecedented Times", Mike Davis, Senior Vice President of Global HR at General Mills stated:
"This year alone, I have been to India, China, and Europe. I have found that in spite of all the cross-cultural differences, all human beings like to be valued, be listened to, be developed, and feel like they make a difference. All of these commonalities are part of the cultural core of General Mills. Even our long-term view of career development works well cross-culturally, as employees everywhere appreciate an organization that values them."
The observation and contact between global employees and top level executives further demonstrate the commitment General Mills places on workplace diversity. Through observation, discussion and travel, the global HR team at General Mills is able to gain a stronger understanding of what their employees seek in an employer, as well as measure their satisfaction with their roles at General Mills. Understanding the common traits across geographical divisions of the company makes it easier to develop unified plans and policies, as well as deepen the corporate culture and commitment to common goals.

American Pickers Meets Storage Wars – Vintage Looking Bottles for Decoration Uses
Traveling along with The history Channel's American Pickers as Mike, Frank and Danielle scour the backwoods of American looking for hidden treasures, and bantering back and forth with Barry, Darrell, Brandon Jarrod and Dave, on A&E's Storage Wars are two of my favorite activities on a dull and dreary day in New Jersey. Whether it is finding a rare piece for a great price on American Pickers, or buying a room-full of clothing stacked on top of a chest of coins from the 1900s on Storage Wars, both shows are chock-full of surprises, twists and turns. But my favorite thing to see on these shows is when the everyday items are found and then transformed into a beautiful piece, like a battered dresser being transformed into a beautiful piece of furniture, or an old clay water pot being cleaned up and used as a decorative flower pot.
However, I can't spend my time on the road and in storage centers after a long week of work, so I am led to the internet to find inspiration around me and of course, cheap and beautiful decorations. One of my favorite decorating items is a simple, clean glass jar. You can find almost anything to put in a glass jar without it looking unsophisticated. Paper clips, spare change, dog treats, gum balls, flowers, cookies, candies, nails, pens, you name it, it looks clean cut and sophisticated when placed in a glass jar. Plus, container products are quick and easy organizational materials.
"Economy Glass Jars at BASCOUSA"
Don't believe me?
Think of your kitchen. Image the focal point of your room, whether it is your table or counter, not image a tall glass jar filled halfway with clean, clear, cold water. Now image daffodils, daisies and one single sunflower sitting your jar on your table. Beautiful isn't it?
Now think of your laundry room, image your boxes and bottles of detergents and fabric softners. Now image those items in clear, short, wide-mouthed jars. Organization has never been so easy!
"Straight Sided Glass Jars from BASCOUSA"
Need organization in the kid's art room? Don't worry about glass in there, you can also find the same style of glass jars, but in plastic so it is kid-friendly. Plus, the plastic jars are white, so you can have your kids paint labels on each jar. Crayons, pencils, pom-poms, chalk, googly eyes, pipe cleaners, markers, and more fit perfectly inside jars and can help kids grow up being neat and organized. You can also buy glue in bulk and pour it into a smaller, squeezable container to save money.
You already love buying in bulk, so why not buy your organizational container products in bulk too? There are tons of websites that sell products in bulk just like the supercenters we all know. Familiarize yourself with the company and ask questions to easy concerns about buying in bulk. After all, buy one jar is expensive, but buying in bulk reduces the price drastically.
So when you are sitting around on a lazy, rainy day just watching television and thinking about what to do next, start looking around to seeing where your clutter lies. Simple and affordable changes can help clean up and organize your life.

Weekly Poems from Poems for Free: A Ramadan Poem and More
RETURN TO THE SWEET DISCIPLINE OF FAITH
Return to the sweet discipline of faith!
A ritual is rich in grace and feeling.
Make yourself a servant that you might
Attend with less of will and more of sight,
Doing what is asked, not what's appealing,
Alive with light, free of want and hate.
Nor does one moment pass that is not healing.
I CANNOT TELL YOU HOW MUCH I HAVE LOVED YOU
I cannot tell you how much I have loved you,
Nor give you an accounting of my joy,
Nor share with you the hopes with which I've held you,
Nor shadow forth the dreams I would employ.
You cannot know the pleasure that you gave me,
Nor grasp the grace in which I've spent my days,
Nor understand the standing that would save me
Whenever darkness met my morning gaze.
You've been to me a moment everlasting,
Though lasting but the moment of us all,
And given me a glimpse of what, in passing,
Must pass for what awaits beyond the wall.
Such love I wish for you as I have known,
But that must come from children of your own.
THERE IS A MOUNTAIN SOMEWHERE NEAR
There is a mountain somewhere near
The harbor of our love
Where I can go sometimes to view
Our marriage from above.
I see the vastness of the sea
Outside our sheltered bay,
With boats like toys upon the flat
Bare corrugated gray.
I see the shadows of the clouds,
An archipelago
That neither wind nor current breaks,
Nor charts of sea depths show.
I see the green of nearby hills,
The gardens on our land,
The cultivated wildness
Of nature shaped by hand.
I see the waves sweep up against
The rocks upon our shore,
The white spume leaping, oh, so slow;
The heart awaiting more.
And all the peace of happiness
And passion sharp for life
Come slanting bright across the sky
Because you are my wife.
YOU FINALLY FOUND EACH OTHER
You finally found each other after
Searching hard for love.
In this uncertain world you've come
To one you're certain of.
How can you know the someone whom
You'll cherish throughout life?
What indices identify
A husband or a wife?
Sometimes there's a gravity:
Sudden, fierce, obsessed;
As if you're falling towards some star,
By its strong pull possessed.
Or sometimes there's a childhood sense
Of unselfconscious grace
Sustained within the safety zone
Of unprovoked embrace.
Sometimes there's the terror of
The searing pain of grief,
As if the loss of love were death:
Sheer scream without relief.
Or there's a sense of loveliness
Too precious to be lost:
A gift of all that makes life good,
Beyond constraint or cost.
Whatever signs you read, they all
Point in the same direction:
The self that lies beyond the self
In love and shared affection.
True love lies far beyond the will,
Yet you must choose to love:
Each day to put aside the self
And with the angels move.
RIGHTEOUSNESS REMAINS THE ROCK OF FAITH
Righteousness remains the rock of faith,
As what one does sustains what one believes.
Mere hypocrites might pray, the Prophet saith;
Actions must be words the heart conceives.
Do, then, what acts and rituals are due,
As faith becomes a flame that feeds on you,
No less than as a fire consumes dry leaves.
HAPPY TENTH
Happy Tenth! A milestone that seems
As natural as stones upon a hill,
Placed by wind and rain and swollen streams
Plunging down to work their wayward will.
Yet our will alone has placed this stele
That stands amid the wilderness of time,
Each choosing each each day that we might feel
Nearer to a grace we can't define.
The loves that last are cultivated flowers:
Half pure mystery, half purely ours.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR LETTERS, CARDS, AND CALLS
Thank you for your letters, cards, and calls,
Heartfelt prayers, and thoughts while I was ill,
A wind that bears us on when courage stalls,
Needed to sustain a weakened will.
Kindness is a balm that works on wounds
Yet unhealed by reasoning alone.
Our suffering abated, life resumes,
Undergirt by strength more than our own.

If you are further than the starter level but would still prefer to use games to boost your learning, there are game packages that may be bought from retail stores and from internet based shops.
These packages tend to be more comprehensive than free on-line games and they don't cost a large amount. You may choose from conventional board games, puzzles, interactive games and a number of other kinds which can provide essential language skills.
