Number of U.S. salaried employees who would recommend Weyerhaeuser as a good place to work

The forest products industry is highly competitive. Work force demographics in North America are rapidly changing. In this dynamic environment, Weyerhaeuser must attract, engage and retain diverse talent to help us safely deliver on our commitments to customers and shareholders.

Our goal is to have current and prospective employees consistently recognize Weyerhaeuser as a preferred place to work. We accomplish this by:

• Maintaining a strong company culture that emphasizes safety, ethical conduct and environmental responsibility.
• Offering a unique employment experience that includes:
  • A competitive compensation and benefits package
  • An inclusive, performance-driven culture that rewards results
  • Challenging, satisfying work
  • Education, training, growth and advancement opportunities
  • The opportunity to be part of a highly respected company

• Identifying and closing any gaps between what we say and what we do:

  • Our businesses annually update work force plans to proactively address challenges.
  • We conduct a regular climate survey to gather feedback from employees about our work environment
  • We routinely implement best practices across the company to improve performance in areas such as leadership development, cross-business teaming, and diversity improvement planning.

Our next climate survey will be held in 2010. In 2008, we conducted an online survey that, in part, assessed employee engagement. All U.S. salaried and non-union hourly employees received the survey and 66 percent responded. The results show that:

• 73 percent would recommend Weyerhaeuser as a good place to work
• 71 percent would prefer to work for Weyerhaeuser even if a comparable job with comparable pay and benefits was available at another employer
• 83 percent believe Weyerhaeuser conducts its activities with honesty and integrity
• 63 percent have confidence in the information they receive from management
