Honeywell publishes six behaviors, not eight.
Each one, mapped to a resume bullet.

Why this matters

Honeywell states its rubric first-party, under the heading Our Behaviors: six of them, not the eight, nine, or twelve that circulate everywhere else. This page quotes all six in Honeywell's own wording, explains the mechanical reason the rest of the web miscounts, keeps Honeywell's own separation between its values and its behaviors intact, and then goes where careers.honeywell.com does not: it maps each behavior to the resume line that actually proves it.

Our Behaviors, all six, in Honeywell's own wording.

Behavior names and wording quoted from Honeywell's life-at-Honeywell careers page, read from the live rendered page on 2026-08-22. They sit on top of Honeywell's stated values, integrity and ethics, supporting diversity, and workplace respect, which are a different thing from the behaviors. The published count is six.

01
Innovate and Create Value for Customers. Honeywell asks for a growth mindset and a relentless passion for solving tough problems.
02
Embrace Transformation. Honeywell asks you to radically simplify the complex, use standard processes and systems to drive operational excellence, and drive decisions based on facts and data.
03
Win Together. Honeywell asks you to think one Honeywell by collaborating across businesses, geographies and functions.
04
Build Exceptional Talent. Honeywell asks you to seek, give, and accept feedback with the intent of making everyone better, and to set high standards for yourself and others.
05
Drive Accountability Culture. Honeywell asks for fearless accountability for getting results, doing what you say you will do, and a bias for action and speed.
06
Be Courageous. Honeywell asks you to take bold action on what you believe is right, to iterate, test, try, take measured risks, and to own results even when the outcome is not as planned.

The quick answer

How many Honeywell behaviors are there, and what are they?

Honeywell publishes exactly six, under the heading Our Behaviors: Innovate and Create Value for Customers, Embrace Transformation, Win Together, Build Exceptional Talent, Drive Accountability Culture, and Be Courageous. Most of the web prints the wrong number. Built In says eight, Quizlet hosts Honeywell 8 Behaviors flashcards, a LinkedIn article says nine, and older content still prints a Cote-era twelve. The reason is mechanical rather than editorial: the behaviors are drawn by a JavaScript application and never appear in the raw HTML, so anyone scraping the page source misses them. Honeywell also separates its values, integrity and ethics, supporting diversity, and workplace respect, from the six behaviors that build on them. On a resume, evidence each behavior with a quantified outcome instead of naming it, and mirror the posting's language, because Oracle Recruiting Cloud parses your file before a recruiter reads it. .

Honeywell publishes its rubric on its own careers site under the heading Our Behaviors, and there are exactly six: Innovate and Create Value for Customers, Embrace Transformation, Win Together, Build Exceptional Talent, Drive Accountability Culture, and Be Courageous. The same page states that Honeywell's commitment to integrity and ethics, supporting diversity and workplace respect underlines everything it does, and that the behaviors build on those core values to reinforce a performance culture. The six are rendered by an Oracle Candidate Experience JavaScript application, so they were read from the live rendered page rather than from the page source, which is why so much secondhand coverage prints a different number.

Honeywell's six behaviors are real and company-published, and this page quotes them verbatim rather than paraphrasing them into a longer list. They are the language the company uses for what good performance looks like, which makes them the most direct statement available of what a Honeywell reviewer is reading your resume for.

Where this page goes further than careers.honeywell.com is the resume reading. The company tells you what it expects. It does not tell you which line on your resume proves it. That mapping, from each behavior to evidence a reviewer can actually read, is the wedge, and it is labeled throughout as ResumeAdapter editorial guidance, not a Honeywell claim.

The reading is the same for every behavior: the behavior has to be visible in the bullet itself, not asserted as an adjective. A line that reads innovative, collaborative, results-driven engineer with a bias for action fails, because it names four behaviors and demonstrates none of them. Worse, it burns the top of the resume, the part an Oracle parser weights and a recruiter actually reads.

A line that reads rebuilt chiller sequencing logic across a 1.2 million square foot campus and cut HVAC energy 18 percent passes, because it demonstrates Innovate and Create Value for Customers without ever using the phrase. The entries below give you that pattern for all six behaviors: Honeywell's own wording, what it means in practice, a show-this bullet, the anti-pattern, and the behavioral story to prepare.

The six behaviors, one by one

Each behavior, what it means,
and the bullet that proves it.

Behavior names and the quoted phrases under each are Honeywell's own wording. Everything else, the meaning, the resume mapping, the show-this and avoid-this examples, and the interview prep, is ResumeAdapter editorial guidance and not a Honeywell claim.

01
Behavior 01

Innovate and Create Value for Customers

Honeywell's own wording
  • “growth mindset and a relentless passion for solving tough problems”
What it means in practice

Honeywell frames the first behavior around a growth mindset and a relentless passion for solving tough problems. Honeywell is an automation company, so the value a customer sees is almost always a number on a building, a plant, or a product: energy, uptime, throughput, defect rate, cycle time. A reviewer reads for a hard problem you actually solved and what the customer felt afterward.

How to show it (ResumeAdapter editorial)

ResumeAdapter editorial guidance: open the bullet with the outcome the customer or the site could measure, then name the hard problem behind it. Put the number in the first clause, where a parser and a human both find it. Frame yourself as someone who solved a tough problem for a customer, not as someone who lists innovation as a trait.

Show this on the resume

Show the tough problem and the value the customer could measure once you solved it. The number carries the behavior.

Rebuilt chiller sequencing logic across a 1.2 million square foot campus, cutting HVAC energy 18 percent while holding every zone inside its setpoint band.

Avoid this anti-pattern

Naming innovation as a trait, or describing the program you sat on instead of the problem you solved. Innovative problem-solver states the behavior rather than proving it.

Innovative problem-solver passionate about cutting-edge building technologies.

Interview prep

Behavioral story to prepare: a genuinely tough customer problem you solved, what made it hard, and the number that moved once you did.

02
Behavior 02

Embrace Transformation

Honeywell's own wording
  • “radically simplify the complex”
  • “use standard processes and systems to drive operational excellence”
  • “drive decisions based on facts and data”
What it means in practice

The second behavior is Honeywell's language for simplification, standardization, and evidence. It asks you to radically simplify the complex, to use standard processes and systems to drive operational excellence, and to drive decisions based on facts and data. In a company that sells operational excellence to its own customers, the person who removed a step and made the fix repeatable reads stronger than the person who ran a program.

How to show it (ResumeAdapter editorial)

ResumeAdapter editorial guidance: show the step you removed, the procedure you standardized, and the data you decided on. Name the measurement that told you it worked. The signal is a simplification that stuck across shifts, sites, or product lines, not a line about driving continuous improvement.

Show this on the resume

Show what you simplified or standardized, the data behind the call, and what it eliminated for good.

Standardized filtration changeover into a single procedure across three shifts, using trip data to redesign the sequence, and eliminated 40 hours of unplanned downtime per quarter.

Avoid this anti-pattern

Listing improvement work as a responsibility with no step removed and no measurement. Owned continuous improvement initiatives states the behavior without evidence.

Responsible for continuous improvement initiatives and process excellence workstreams.

Interview prep

Behavioral story to prepare: a complex process you simplified, the facts and data you decided on, and what it permanently removed from the workflow.

03
Behavior 03

Win Together

Honeywell's own wording
  • “think one Honeywell by collaborating across businesses, geographies and functions”
What it means in practice

The third behavior asks you to think one Honeywell by collaborating across businesses, geographies and functions. Honeywell runs as a set of business units, so the boundary you crossed is the point: a result that needed another function, another site, or another country is the evidence. A solo trophy reads thin in a company organized this way.

How to show it (ResumeAdapter editorial)

ResumeAdapter editorial guidance: name the boundary you crossed and the partner on the other side of it, then give the shared result. Function, site, geography, or business unit, say which one. The bullet should be one that somebody working alone could not have written.

Show this on the resume

Name the function, site, or geography you worked across, the partner, and the result the two of you shared.

Partnered with supplier quality in Bangalore and the test lab in Phoenix to isolate a solder defect, clearing a six-week shipment hold across two product lines.

Avoid this anti-pattern

Claiming collaboration as a trait with no boundary named and no shared outcome. Cross-functional team player states the behavior instead of showing it.

Collaborative team player who works well with cross-functional stakeholders.

Interview prep

Behavioral story to prepare: a result that required a function, business, or geography outside your own, who you worked with, and what you delivered together.

04
Behavior 04

Build Exceptional Talent

Honeywell's own wording
  • “seek, give, and accept feedback with the intent of making everyone better”
  • “set high standards for yourself and others”
What it means in practice

The fourth behavior is about feedback and standards: seek, give, and accept feedback with the intent of making everyone better, and set high standards for yourself and others. Note that it runs in both directions. Feedback you sought and acted on counts as much as feedback you gave, and the standard has to show up as something other people now meet.

How to show it (ResumeAdapter editorial)

ResumeAdapter editorial guidance: show a person, a team, or a standard that measurably improved because of you. A review cadence you ran, a checklist that became the norm, an engineer whose rework dropped. Mentored junior staff is a category; the engineer whose defect rate halved is evidence.

Show this on the resume

Show the standard you set or the feedback loop you ran, and what improved for someone other than you.

Ran a controls design review cadence for six engineers, cutting commissioning punch-list rework 30 percent and taking two of them through to the next rung.

Avoid this anti-pattern

Naming mentorship or high standards with nobody improved and nothing measured. Fostered a culture of learning states the behavior instead of evidencing it.

Mentored junior team members and fostered a culture of continuous learning.

Interview prep

Behavioral story to prepare: feedback you gave or took that changed an outcome, and the person or standard that is measurably better because of it.

05
Behavior 05

Drive Accountability Culture

Honeywell's own wording
  • “fearless accountability for getting results”
  • “doing what you say you will do”
  • “a bias for action and speed”
What it means in practice

The fifth behavior asks for fearless accountability for getting results, doing what you say you will do, and a bias for action and speed. Read the middle clause closely, because it is the one most candidates skip: the behavior is about a commitment you made and then kept, not about general ownership language. Speed here is the speed of deciding and delivering, not the speed of looking busy.

How to show it (ResumeAdapter editorial)

ResumeAdapter editorial guidance: show a commitment with a date or a target attached, then show that you hit it, including the recovery when it slipped. The strongest version names what you owned when things went wrong. Results-driven with a strong sense of ownership is the phrasing to delete.

Show this on the resume

Show a commitment you made, what you did when it was at risk, and the result you delivered against it.

Took over a slipped burner management upgrade, recommitted the date with the customer, and delivered it nine days early with zero open punch items.

Avoid this anti-pattern

Asserting ownership and urgency with no commitment, no date, and no result. Results-driven professional states the behavior instead of demonstrating it.

Results-driven professional with a strong sense of ownership and urgency.

Interview prep

Behavioral story to prepare: something you said you would do, what went wrong on the way, and how you still delivered it, including the part you owned when it did not go to plan.

06
Behavior 06

Be Courageous

Honeywell's own wording
  • “take bold action on what you believe is right”
  • “iterate, test, try, take measured risks”
  • “own results even when the outcome is not as planned”
What it means in practice

The sixth behavior asks you to take bold action on what you believe is right, to iterate, test, try, take measured risks, and to own results even when the outcome is not as planned. The word measured is doing real work there: this is not a request for recklessness at a company that ships safety systems. The last clause is the rarest thing on a resume, because it invites a result that did not land.

How to show it (ResumeAdapter editorial)

ResumeAdapter editorial guidance: show a call you made against the easier path, how you bounded the risk before you took it, and what you owned afterward. This is the one behavior where a bullet about an outcome that missed can be stronger than a win, provided you name what you learned and what you changed.

Show this on the resume

Show the unpopular or risky call, the bound you put around the risk, and the result you owned either way.

Halted a line release after test data contradicted the qualification report, ran a three-week bounded retest, and prevented a field failure on 4,000 units.

Avoid this anti-pattern

Claiming comfort with risk and ambiguity with no decision and no consequence attached. Challenges the status quo states the behavior instead of proving it.

Comfortable taking risks and challenging the status quo in ambiguous environments.

Interview prep

Behavioral story to prepare: a call you made that was unpopular or risky, how you bounded the risk, and what you owned when the result was not what you expected.

Behavior names and quoted wording from Honeywell, Our Behaviors, careers.honeywell.com/en/sites/Honeywell/pages/life-at-honeywell, read from the live rendered page on 2026-08-22. The meaning, resume, and interview mapping is ResumeAdapter editorial guidance, not a Honeywell claim.

Read that sentence carefully, because it is the distinction almost every third-party page collapses. Honeywell names integrity and ethics, supporting diversity, and workplace respect as the core values, then says the behaviors build on those values to reinforce a performance culture. Values and behaviors are two different layers at Honeywell, and the company says so itself.

The practical consequence for a candidate is that they are read differently. The values are the floor: you are expected to clear them, and no resume gets credit for asserting integrity. The six behaviors are the bar your work is measured against, which is why they carry verbs, and why each one can be evidenced by something you did and something that changed as a result.

So if a Honeywell interviewer asks about values, answer with integrity, diversity, and respect, and be ready with a moment you held that line under pressure. If they ask what good looks like, or how you work, answer through the behaviors, with an outcome attached. Getting that split right signals you read Honeywell's own page rather than a listicle about it.

Search for the Honeywell behaviors and you will be told there are eight. Built In prints eight. Quizlet hosts a Honeywell 8 Behaviors flashcard set. sage-tips.com asks what the Honeywell 8 behaviors are. A LinkedIn article says nine. Older content still prints a Cote-era twelve. Google's own AI Overview is one of the few sources that gets it right at six.

The reason is not that Honeywell keeps changing the framework. It is mechanical. The behaviors are rendered by an Oracle Candidate Experience JavaScript application, so they are absent from the raw HTML of the careers page. A scraper that reads the page source finds no behaviors at all, and whoever is writing the article fills the gap from an older deck, a cached summary, or another article that did the same thing. The error then propagates, because each new page cites the last one.

This page took the other route: the six were read from the live rendered page on 2026-08-22, which is the only way to see what a candidate actually sees. That matters beyond pedantry. Walking into an interview with a memorized list of eight behaviors, two of which Honeywell does not publish, is a credibility problem, and it is entirely avoidable. Prepare the six that are on the page.

The employer brand

#Futureshaper, and its
three pillars.

On the same careers page, under the tagline The Future Is What We Make It, Honeywell calls its people #Futureshapers and names three pillars: Make An Impact, Make Real Connections, and Make The Best You. Treat this as brand language rather than a second rubric. The pillar names are Honeywell's; the reading beside each is ResumeAdapter editorial guidance.

01 / Pillar

Make An Impact

Reads onto Innovate and Create Value for Customers. Show the impact as a number a customer or a site could measure, not as a description of the program you supported.

02 / Pillar

Make Real Connections

Reads onto Win Together. Show the business, geography, or function you worked across and the partner you did it with, rather than claiming to be collaborative.

03 / Pillar

Make The Best You

Reads onto Build Exceptional Talent. Show feedback you sought or gave and the standard that rose because of it, not a line about continuous learning.

How to show the six behaviors

Six moves from
generic resume to Honeywell-true.

01
Step 01

Lead with the value a customer could measure

Innovate and Create Value for Customers is framed around a growth mindset and a relentless passion for solving tough problems. Open the bullet with the number a customer or a site felt, energy, uptime, throughput, defect rate, then name the hard problem behind it. Do not write that you are innovative.

02
Step 02

Show the step you removed and the data you decided on

Embrace Transformation asks you to radically simplify the complex, use standard processes and systems to drive operational excellence, and drive decisions based on facts and data. Show the procedure you standardized across shifts or sites, the measurement that told you it worked, and what it permanently eliminated.

03
Step 03

Name the boundary you crossed and the person you raised

Win Together asks you to think one Honeywell by collaborating across businesses, geographies and functions, and Build Exceptional Talent asks you to seek, give, and accept feedback with the intent of making everyone better and to set high standards for yourself and others. Name the function, site, or geography you worked across, the partner, and the shared result, then show a standard or a colleague that measurably improved because of you.

04
Step 04

Show a commitment you made and then kept

Drive Accountability Culture asks for fearless accountability for getting results, doing what you say you will do, and a bias for action and speed. Attach a date or a target to the commitment, then show that you hit it, including the recovery when it slipped and the part you owned when it went wrong.

05
Step 05

Show a measured risk and the result you owned

Be Courageous asks you to take bold action on what you believe is right, to iterate, test, try, take measured risks, and to own results even when the outcome is not as planned. Show the call you made against the easier path, how you bounded the risk before taking it, and what you owned afterward, including outcomes that missed.

06
Step 06

Mirror the posting and scan against it

Honeywell runs Oracle Recruiting Cloud rather than Workday, so a real parser reads your resume before a recruiter does. Upload to ResumeAdapter against a specific Honeywell posting so your quantified outcomes carry the posting's exact titles and skills, and iterate until each behavior is visible in the work rather than named as an adjective.

For most candidates the move is simple: build a small set of bullets where each one carries a behavior without naming it. One customer-visible number for Innovate and Create Value for Customers. One step you removed, with the data behind it, for Embrace Transformation. One boundary you crossed for Win Together. One standard or colleague who improved for Build Exceptional Talent. One commitment you kept for Drive Accountability Culture. One measured risk you owned for Be Courageous.

You do not need to name a single behavior on the page. You need bullets where customer value, simplification, collaboration, feedback, accountability, and courage are visible in the outcomes themselves. If a reviewer can point at the bullet and say which behavior it proves, the mapping worked.

Then place those bullets at the right altitude. The Honeywell job levels spoke covers the prefix ladder, Engineer I through Principal Engineer, and how the scope expected of each behavior shifts by rung. The Honeywell interview process spoke covers the loop these stories get told in, and the Honeywell resume guide covers the Oracle Recruiting Cloud apply flow that reads your file first.

Behavior names and wording are Honeywell's, from careers.honeywell.com/en/sites/Honeywell/pages/life-at-honeywell, read live on 2026-08-22. The resume mapping is an editorial distillation, not Honeywell's words.

FAQ

Honeywell behaviors, FAQ

The questions candidates ask once they notice the sources disagree about how many behaviors Honeywell has. Answers are byte-identical to the FAQPage JSON-LD, because AI engines that extract HTML and AI engines that extract JSON-LD should not see different text.

How many Honeywell behaviors are there?

Six. Honeywell publishes exactly six, first-party, under the heading Our Behaviors on its life-at-Honeywell careers page: Innovate and Create Value for Customers, Embrace Transformation, Win Together, Build Exceptional Talent, Drive Accountability Culture, and Be Courageous. The count is worth stating plainly because much of the web gets it wrong. Built In prints eight, Quizlet hosts Honeywell 8 Behaviors flashcards, sage-tips.com asks what the Honeywell 8 behaviors are, a LinkedIn article says nine, and older content still prints a Cote-era twelve. Google's own AI Overview correctly says six. The live, first-party count, read from the rendered page on August 22, 2026, is six.

What are the six Honeywell behaviors?

Innovate and Create Value for Customers, which Honeywell frames around a growth mindset and a relentless passion for solving tough problems. Embrace Transformation, which asks you to radically simplify the complex, use standard processes and systems to drive operational excellence, and drive decisions based on facts and data. Win Together, which asks you to think one Honeywell by collaborating across businesses, geographies and functions. Build Exceptional Talent, which asks you to seek, give, and accept feedback with the intent of making everyone better and to set high standards for yourself and others. Drive Accountability Culture, which asks for fearless accountability for getting results, doing what you say you will do, and a bias for action and speed. Be Courageous, which asks you to take bold action on what you believe is right, to iterate, test, try, take measured risks, and to own results even when the outcome is not as planned.

Are the Honeywell behaviors the same as its values?

No, and Honeywell draws the line itself. Its own framing sentence reads: our commitment to integrity and ethics, supporting diversity and workplace respect underline everything we do, and building on these core values, these behaviors reinforce our performance culture. So the values are integrity and ethics, supporting diversity, and workplace respect, while the six behaviors are the performance layer built on top of them. Almost no third-party write-up preserves that distinction, and it matters in an interview: the values are the floor you are expected to meet, and the behaviors are what your work is read against.

Why do some sites say Honeywell has eight behaviors?

Because of how the page is built, not because Honeywell changed the framework. The behaviors are rendered by an Oracle Candidate Experience JavaScript application, so they do not appear in the raw HTML of the careers page. Anyone scraping the page source rather than reading the rendered page sees no behaviors at all, and fills the gap from older or secondhand material. That is how Built In arrives at eight, how Quizlet ends up hosting Honeywell 8 Behaviors flashcards, how a LinkedIn article reaches nine, and how a Cote-era set of twelve still circulates. Read from the live rendered page on August 22, 2026, the count is six.

What is a Futureshaper at Honeywell?

Futureshaper, written as the hashtag #Futureshaper, is Honeywell's employer-brand term for its people, published on the same careers page as the behaviors under the tagline The Future Is What We Make It. It carries three pillars: Make An Impact, Make Real Connections, and Make The Best You. Treat it as brand language rather than a second rubric. The three pillars read onto behaviors you already have to evidence: Make An Impact onto Innovate and Create Value for Customers, Make Real Connections onto Win Together, and Make The Best You onto Build Exceptional Talent. That mapping is ResumeAdapter editorial guidance; the pillar names are Honeywell's.

Do the six behaviors still apply after the Honeywell Aerospace spin-off?

The six behaviors are published on the Honeywell careers site, which covers the Honeywell tenant, and Honeywell now operates as Honeywell Technologies after completing a three-way separation. Honeywell Aerospace became a separate public company on June 29, 2026, trading on Nasdaq as HONA, and Solstice Advanced Materials spun off on October 30, 2025 as SOLS. Those employers run their own Oracle tenants, and a candidate profile does not carry across. So prepare the six behaviors for Honeywell roles, and do not assume this page describes what a separate company publishes for its own candidates. Check which employer the requisition actually belongs to before you tailor.

How do I show the Honeywell behaviors on my resume?

Evidence each one through an outcome instead of naming it. For Innovate and Create Value for Customers, lead with the number a customer or a site could measure. For Embrace Transformation, show the step you removed and the data you decided on. For Win Together, name the business, geography, or function you crossed. For Build Exceptional Talent, show the standard that rose or the engineer who improved. For Drive Accountability Culture, show a commitment you made and kept. For Be Courageous, show a measured risk and the result you owned either way. Then mirror the posting's exact titles and skills, because Honeywell runs Oracle Recruiting Cloud rather than Workday and a real parser reads your file before a recruiter does. This resume mapping is ResumeAdapter editorial guidance; the behavior names and wording are Honeywell's.
