Communication with employees is an important part of the Lexmark community and culture. We strive to make that communication a true discourse, rather than a single channel, one-way dissemination of information. This attitude results in true engagement with employees that in turn results in mutual goodwill. Some examples of employee engagement at Lexmark:

• Questions to Management
  Periodically, the Corporate Communications Department arranges for employees of Lexmark – on a worldwide basis – to submit questions to members of top management during a video interview. The questions are submitted in advance and videos of the interviews are made available for use at various employee functions as well as on KnowledgeNet.
• Safety and Well-being Tips
  At Lexmark, we keep our employees informed in various aspects of safety and well-being as they relate to common occurrences in everyday life. As an example, we publish on our intranet suggestions for staying safe during winter storms such as driving tips, how to avoid becoming stranded and what to do if one does becomes stranded in a snowstorm. Simple as it might seem, if the life or health of one employee is preserved, these efforts will have been well worthwhile.
• Town Hall Meetings
  Throughout the year, in an effort to keep employees informed on the many aspects of Lexmark's business activities, the Company holds "Town Hall" meetings, wherein various members of senior management report on a wide range of subjects. These include general business updates, marketing and product strategies, results on initiatives, research and development progress and many other topical issues. Question and answer sessions are included.
• Sustainability Speaker Series
  Lexmark produces a Sustainability Speaker Series at its Lexington headquarters wherein a relevant speaker addresses a facet of sustainability for our employees. Examples of this engagement initiative include the March 2010 presentation at which Amanda Gumbert, Extension Specialist for Water Quality in the Agriculture Programs Department at the University of Kentucky, and Russ Turpin, Extension Associate with University of Kentucky College of Agriculture were the guest speakers and discussed their ongoing efforts to rehabilitate Cane Run Creek.
  
  In an April 2010 meeting, John Saylor, Coordinator of Reforest the Bluegrass and Arborist Technician for the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government led a discussion of Reforest the Bluegrass efforts, the positive impact on our local environment and plans for future events. Reforest the Bluegrass is a unique, cooperative streamside reforestation effort that has been supported by Lexmark since 1999. Streamside forests – also known as riparian buffers – serve to protect and improve valuable water resources. Lexmark employees and their families have contributed to the planting of more than 175,000 tree seedlings since 1999, resulting in improved streamside water quality, aquatic and grassland habitats and overall land stability in Lexington.
