“What I love about Yara is that I can be myself here, it is a workplace that embraces the differences, and you are never left out. Also, we are constantly encouraged not to be afraid of making mistakes. When I joined as a trainee, I made some mistakes despite trying to avoid them. My manager reinforced that is ok and that I could learn from it. It is a continous learning journey.”

Alexander Yara employee

''I enjoy the challenges we face at work while carrying out daily activities in our plants. These challenges enrich our experience, make us grow, and strengthen our skills. For example, when I make a mistake, I try to analyze the reasons, find new solutions, and share the learnings with my colleagues. I think learning new things daily and applying this learning is an essential part of our culture.''

This awareness helps create safe spaces where people feel comfortable speaking out. It builds trust and creates a more inclusive workplace.”

Shaun Yara employee

‘’Yara creates an environment of new knowledge and opportunities. I came from another industry, and, with the help from Yara colleagues and other resources, I expanded my skillset since my first day. Here, we grow knowledge to develop ourselves while helping others. Similar to how Yara has always used knowledge to help grow crops from the ground and feed the world.”
