Our Workforce

The 20,000-plus employees who work for The McGraw-Hill Companies are based in offices and facilities around the world.

Responsibility for our workforce means that all employees receive competitive wages, health and life insurance, and that these benefits extend to spouses and, in the US, domestic partners.

The McGraw-Hill Companies values individual contributions to our success by offering employees a multifaceted compensation program. Competitive base salaries are only the beginning. In addition to performance-based pay, we offer eligible employees participation in annual incentive plans.

We are also committed to investing in our employees, their careers and personal development. More than 70 percent of our employees have taken advantage of our training programs, covering a wide range of topics, including help in becoming financial savvy , physical wellbeing and educational enrichment. We provide a Career Achievement Profile tool, which serves as an online resume to help managers and employees talk about personalized skill development and career interests as our business continues to evolve.

By helping our employees reach their full potential, we in turn support our own organization and endow its future.

And because we take education so seriously, we offer generous tuition reimbursement programs, up to $5,000 per year, for employees, and scholarships for their children totaling roughly $3 million since the program’s inception. About 4 percent of our employees took advantage of the tuition refund program in 2007 and received an average refund of $3,500.

Volunteering for community service as a family is one way The McGraw-Hill Companies encourages a healthy balance between work and home life for all employees.
