Human Resources serves as a true business partner, actively engaged in working with our business leaders to grow our business and win with our customers. The Human Resources Development Program (HRDP) is designed to recruit, develop and retain high potential bachelor and masters’ graduates who possess the skills, aspiration and mobility to develop into Human Resource Leaders with Owens Corning. The program consists of three intense rotational assignments within the Human Resources function lasting 9-12 months each. The rotations provide the participants the opportunity to work in all facets of the HR organization and develop relationships with senior HR leaders at every juncture.  Each rotation will provide a different set of learning and developmental opportunities and will be in at least two of the following areas: Manufacturing, Corporate Business Unit, and Center for Excellence Organizations.

The MANUFACTURING assignment will provide the opportunity to gain a broad understanding of an Owens Corning plant operation.  Specific learning objectives include understanding manufacturing technology, products and processes, interrelationships among various processes and functions, demonstrating leadership and supervisory skills, and becoming familiar with key day to day issues in safety, benefits, labor relations, talent acquisition, productivity, compensation and community relations. Examples of assignments in this area include labor and/or employee relations, review, and interpretation of plant policies, building operations capable of recruiting talent. This assignment will be located at one of Owens Corning’s various manufacturing facilities in the United States.

The BUSINESS UNIT assignment will provide a strong understanding of how the HR business unit activities are performed in the Corporate Headquarters, and are generally located in Toledo or Granville, OH. Specific learning objectives include in depth familiarity with OC products, markets, customers and the value chain; understanding interrelationships among various processes and functions; demonstrating leadership and supervisory skills, and becoming familiar with key strategic issues in safety, benefits, employee relations, talent acquisition, productivity and compensation.  Examples of assignments in this area include HR support of corporate client groups, coordinating benchmarking projects, hiring new talent, or implementing other talent strategies.

The CENTER OF EXCELLENCE opportunity will provide deep specialty knowledge in such areas as Compensation, Benefits, HR Systems, Talent Acquisition, Leadership Development, or Talent Management, and will be in Toledo, OH. Learning objectives include in-depth knowledge and skill development in the process area; broad, corporate wide perspective; exposure/visibility with a cross section of OC senior leaders; and involvement with strategic and corporate-wide issues. Examples of assignments include support of the employee engagement activities, talent acquisition, developing training content, compensation and benefits analysis or support of the integration of all HR processes.

While in the Program, candidates will be assigned a senior leader and a peer mentor for on-going development and will be encouraged to continue formal learning in a variety of ways, as you create your individual development plan and career goals. You will also have a cohort of colleagues to learn from and develop relationships with. You and your leaders will create a learning plan for each rotation and you will be guided through each role and supported.

 

After the participant has completed the rotational program, opportunities such as HR generalist at a larger facility, an HR leader at a smaller manufacturing facility and key leader positions as a specialist in compensation, benefits, leadership development, talent acquisition or talent management are available. Cross-functional moves are also encouraged to learn about Owens Corning and other functions.
