People First
Formally introduced in 2003, the People First Philosophy builds on values that have been a long-standing part of the FedEx Freight culture. People First seeks to provide employees with an engaging work environment while encouraging an understanding of the duty they have to our customers. The program aims to promote 100 percent responsibility and accountability, clear communication, clear expectations, and competency through education.
