Other Matters
Employees
We had 14,049 employees as of December 31, 2023, consisting of approximately 10,352 salaried and 3,697 hourly employees. This includes approximately 289 salaried and 424 hourly employees at the Miski Mayo Mine, of which we own 75% and its results are consolidated within our results of operations.
Labor Relations
As of December 31, 2023:
We had eight collective bargaining agreements with unions covering certain hourly employees in the U.S. and Canada. Of these employees, approximately 33% are covered under agreements that expire in 2024. All are expected to collectively bargain for new contracts in 2024.
We had agreements with 35 unions covering all employees in Brazil. More than one agreement may govern our relations with each of these unions. In general, the agreements are renewable on an annual basis.
Failure to renew any of our union agreements could result in a strike or labor stoppage that could have a material adverse effect on our operations. However, we have not experienced a significant work stoppage in many years and historically have had good labor relations.

Mosaic is committed to the well-being and development of our employees by creating and cultivating an innovative and collaborative workplace that welcomes, values and respects diversity of people, thoughts, and perspectives; a workplace free of discrimination and intolerant of bias. As part of Mosaic’s strategic priorities, we are committed to prioritizing our internal culture and external partnerships to meet our commitments to our employees and stakeholders and to be an employer of choice for generations to come.
Employee Health and Safety–Safety is a top priority and we strive for zero harm to people and zero environmental incidents. Through the implementation of the Mosaic Management System, we have established a structured approach to effectively manage and control risk for the safety and well-being of our colleagues, the environment and our stockholders. The management system defines processes that help support a safe work environment and establish a continuous improvement cycle to adjust for changing conditions and identified risks.
Global Worker Wellness–extending beyond safety, our wellness programs seek to improve the well-being of our employees – and their families – in the areas of physical and psychological health, and financial security. These programs include health screenings, insurance plans, psychological health training and mental health resources, as well as our Environmental, Health and Safety (“EHS”) Risk Reduction Program, various trainings and flexible schedules.
Development–Mosaic believes in continually investing in people and their lifelong learning. Mosaic holds training events throughout the year across all of our locations, invests in leadership competencies through facilitated learning opportunities and hosts an online education platform through Workday Learning, which all employees are encouraged to access for mandatory and self-guided education. Mosaic offers companywide educational reimbursement programs to help employees in each of our operating companies acquire new skills and capabilities to better meet their job responsibilities and provide for future career opportunities within the Company. Mosaic supports membership in numerous professional associations and encourages participation in work-related external networking groups
In 2023, Mosaic continued its programs to help employees gain the knowledge and skills that we believe will be necessary for the next evolution of our business. Like any company, Mosaic experiences turnover and the need to replace talent related to retirement and succession. Mosaic seeks to minimize unwanted turnover through its talent review, succession management, performance management, and compensation processes. For certain roles critical to our operations, such as engineering, operations, and employee health and safety professionals, we maintain specific talent programs, internal development strategies, apprentice and Co-Op programs and recruitment pipelines.
Community–Mosaic is a thoughtful and engaged neighbor who invests carefully and generously through long-term partnerships with organizations that are making a difference. We are proud to support organizations and initiatives that create growth and leave a lasting impact in our communities in three main focus areas: food, water and local community. In 2023, we invested $16.7 million. In addition to philanthropic grants and sponsorships of local programs, we also support and facilitate volunteerism by our employees. Similarly, we participate on local committees, boards, and associations focused on contributing to the vitality of the people and communities around us.
2023 was the third year of the Mosaic Employee Giving Program (the “Program”) that provides employees with flexibility to connect their personal causes to corporate giving, matching and volunteerism opportunities. The Program aligns to Mosaic’s strategic priorities, our 2025 Environmental, Social and Governance performance targets, and companywide 2030 global diversity and inclusion goals. Employees can take advantage of Company matching funds through financial contributions, volunteering on personal time, or both - in North America this can be up to $2,000 annually. Our 2030 diversity and inclusion goal for community investment provides intentional focus to support underserved or underrepresented populations in regions where we operate. In 2023, 29 percent of our global giving met this focus.
Diversity, Inclusion and Equal Opportunities–in 2023, Mosaic’s Diversity and Inclusion Program continued to advance progress, engaging in several initiatives to advance Mosaic’s commitments to our employees and stakeholders, increase accountability, and promote a more diverse and inclusive environment. Initiatives included launching a self-identification campaign which gives employees the opportunity to voluntarily provide personal characteristics that create more individual visibility and provides Mosaic with a better and deeper understanding of our workforce, helping to identify meaningful policies, programs and benefits that lead to a more inclusive culture. We continued to make progress towards our previously announced global 2030 representation goals and are driving accountability into the business units by establishing business-level initiatives and programs to address opportunities to progress towards a more diverse and inclusive workforce. We continued to build leadership competencies by providing education on enabling authentic connections, establishing trust and modeling inclusive behaviors and provided an online, curated, self-directed learning platform to employees to continue their own learning journeys. We are building awareness and recognition through embedded learning moments, leader-led roundtable discussions and a quarterly Diversity & Inclusion Newsletter. We continue to refocus and expand our recruitment efforts to create a more diverse talent pipeline, partnering with our executive-led Employee Inclusion Networks to help identify additional opportunities to attract qualified, diverse talent and are working towards advancing our talent acquisition processes to be more inclusive. Additional information about our human capital, including our diversity and inclusion goals for 2030, is available in the sustainability report posted on our website. The information contained on our website is not being incorporated in this report.
Pay equity is fundamental to our compensation philosophy and our commitment to diversity and inclusion. Mosaic annually evaluates pay equity and compensation practices to ensure fair and equitable treatment of employees based on our pay-for-performance framework. In 2023, Mosaic established internal analytical capabilities and restructured our pay equity process to bring more employees within scope across our global operations and to enhance our assessment of pay disparities. The results of our assessment revealed outliers without adequate business justifications. Mosaic intends to address each of the instances during our 2024 compensation cycle. Pay equity will be reviewed internally every year and we expect to conduct external independent reviews every three years.
