His f i r s t success was a premature infant who could not to lera te h is mother's milk or any of the usual substitutes. People quickly recognized the value of the new product, after Nestlé's new formula saved the child's life, and soon, FarineLactée Henri Nestlé was being sold in much of Europe.

Page 8: Hrm project on nestle

their marketing targets. It is important because alone marketing manager can not promote any marketing strategy without any budget.The long-term success of the Company depends on its capacity to attract, retain and develop employees able to ensure its growth on a continuing basis. This is a primary responsibility for all managers. The Nestlé policy is to hire staff with personal attitudes and professional skills enabling them to develop a long-term relationship with the Company. Therefore the potential for professional development is an essential standard for recruitment. Each new member joining Nestlé is to become a participant in developing a sustainable quality culture which implies a commitment to the organization, a sense for continuous improvement and leaves no place for complacency. Therefore, and in view of the importance of these Nestlé values, special attention will be paid to the matching between a candidate’s values and the Company culture. Hence, a clear communication of these principles and values from the very beginning of the recruitment process is required. Those who are not willing to adhere to the Corporate Business Principles and/or to the Nestlé Management and Leadership Principles cannot be part of the Company, as both these documents express the basic values and principles of the Organization. Moreover, for managerial positions specific leadership qualities and business acumen will be required. Nestlé wishes to maintain and develop its reputation as an employer of high repute. Contacts with universities, attendance at recruitment events and other contacts are to be undertaken so as to ensure good visibility of the Company vis-à-vis relevant recruitment sources. Particular care will be given to the treatment of each candidacy regardless of the outcome of the selection process. Even when promoting employees intensively from within the organization, it is the role of management and HR to keep an eye on valuable candidates from outside and to benchmark internal skills with external offers. Joining Nestlé7 the Nestlé Human Resources Policy whilst adequate recruitment tools may improve the hiring process, it is understood that the decision to hire a candidate remains in the hands of the responsible manager supported by the HR staff. Under no circumstances should the decision to hire or not to hire be left in the hands of an outside consultant or expert. As mentioned in the Nestlé Management and Leadership Principles, only relevant skills and experience and the adherence to the above principles will be considered in employing a person. No consideration will be given to a candidate’s origin, nationality, religion, race, gender or age. It is as important to hire the right person as it is to integrate newcomers in the organization so that their skills and behavior can merge smoothly with the company culture. Whereas from new employees it is expected to respect our company’s culture, it is accordingly required from all employees to show an open mind towards new ideas and proposals coming from outside.

RECRUITMENT PROCESS:Recruiting is the process of finding & attracting capable applicants for employment.The process begins when new recruits are required & ends when their applications are submitted.The result is a pool of applicants from which new employees are selected.Nestle Pakistan wants

Fresh graduates as knowledge worker Specialist experienced people for special purpose People for Skilled and labor based events Fresh Graduates As Knowledge Worker Personnel planning and vacancy announcement Nature of Application form Recruiters qualification Channels of recruitment Recruitment- Constraints and challenges

 Recruitment Channel Internal recruitment channel External recruitment channel Walks-ins and write-ins Employee referrals Advertising Private placement agencies & Professional search firms Educational institutions & Professional associates International recruitment

This should attract personnel of high caliber and of the required potential necessary to achieve present and future objectives.It is the Company’s Policy to:1. Strive to achieve a balanced staff, reflecting the overall composition of the

community in which it operates and apply non-discriminatory practices.2. Stimulate equality of opportunity by the use of fair procedures and practices.3. Ensure that Nestlé Employees are always above suspicion of favoritism and

nepotism. Fairness and impartiality should be placed before anything else and merit should be the only basis of employment.

The quality of our recruitment contributes to the quality of the Company since the new resources will be the drivers of the growth of Nestlé.The Company believes in flat and flexible structures. Flat structures provide a wider scope for jobs, which facilitate employee motivation, enhance effective

communication and learning opportunities and at the same time reduce hierarchical reporting layers, resulting in speed and efficiency in business operations.The Company’s policy with respect to recruitment is to hire individuals through a process that is professional and consistent; one that reflects the Company’s commitment to the principles of hiring the best possible candidates and ensuring employment equity.  This is achieved through Competency Based Interviewing which is aligned to our Company’s Leadership Framework.The potential for professional development is an essential standard for recruitment. Special attention will be paid to the match between the candidates’ personal attitudes and the Company’s culture and values as well as their willingness to adhere to the Nestlé Corporate Group-wide Policies and Guidelines.All applicants to be considered for employment with the Company will be required to possess educational and professional qualifications, experience and ability appropriate for the vacancy to be filled. The Company may, in addition, require applicants to undergo practical/aptitude tests and/or examinations and interviews. Our recruitment and selection decisions are fair and objective.

IN NESTLE THEY SURELY SEE QUALIFICATIONBUT THEY PREFER A PERSON WITH REQUIRED SKILLS, APTITUDE, EXPERIENCE AND QUALIFICATION.

POSITIVE POINTS OF RECRUITMENTNestle have struggled to recruit the right talent needed to help our business grow and develop.

Nestle gives people an opportunity for life-long learning as at nestle. The factor of succession planning is prevailing.

They use the fight techniques for recruiting. They recruit employees through professional and consistent

way In nestle they surely see qualification but they prefer a person with required

skills, aptitude, experience and qualification. Culture diversity exist through which Nestle got

Adoptable New blood Large number of employees.

WEEKNESS

Page 11: Hrm project on nestle

At the time of the recruitment the most suitable and appropriate employee is not available.

Recruitment continues in the full year. Fresh graduates are less prefer for the job. Online recruitment made some problems that so many people’s apply for

that position on the job boards do not even meet the basic qualification for the position

When Nestle recruit new blood (employees) from the external sources it is comparably higher cost. SUGGESTIONS

Company recruit employees through job fairs. Company should main focus on external recruitment that innovation and

creativity is taken place. When a collection of qualified candidates are available then requirement

process is started When company recruit employees then personal biasness of employees are

avoided. Company should introduce such policy so that peoples belong to different

culture fit with organization.

SELECTION:

The selection process is about getting the best candidate for the job. Companies use a range of selection methods to suit their specific recruitment needs. At Nestlé, successful applications proceed to the online testing stages following a sifting procedure. This includes a situational strengths test – providing candidates with an insight into the culture and role they are applying for, a numerical test and a strengths-based telephone-video interview.

11 | P a g e

Page 12: Hrm project on nestle

Candidates that successfully complete these stages are invited to attend an assessment centre day.The assessment centre include:

a strengths-based interview a written exercise to test a candidates skills by analyzing a business or technical

issue and making recommendations for action presentation to test behaviors to certain business scenarios

A group discussion to show how a candidate interacts with other people. The tasks designed for the assessment centre provide an overview of how a

candidate may behave in a number of different scenarios. Assessors review individual candidate performance and their overall suitability for the role against key behavioral indicators. The behavioral indicators are highlighted below.Candidates that are successful at this stage in the assessment process are offered a position within the Nestlé Academy and invited to a formal induction programme. The induction programmed provides an overview of Nestlé and specific information about the function they are joining. It also provides individuals with a chance to network with other candidates from other schemes and functions. The programmed includes meeting the senior leadership team and allows individuals to learn important information about the company. This is a vital part of the process and ensures new recruits get the best possible start to their career.

NESTLE SELECTION STRENGTH AND WEAKNESSSTRENGTH • Nestle company use panel as well as mass interview which save the time of interviewers and help the interviewer to compare the candidate and to select the right person for right job.

12 | P a g e

Page 13: Hrm project on nestle

• Nestle company use all types of questions in their interview according to the requirement of the job – Situational questions – Behavioral questions – job-related questions – Stress questions • In addition nestle company use competency and motivational questions• Nestle company uses STAR approach in competency based questions – S Situation: Why did you have this deadline? – T Task: What was your specific role in the task? – A Action: What did you do to ensure you met the deadline? – R Result: What was the end result? • Nestle company have experienced interviewersUses all the types of interviews e.g. – selection interview – appraisal interview – exit interview.Select right person for the right job WEEKNESSES • The criteria of interview of nestle company is no doubt very clear and useful but there are some weaknesses in their procedure • Sometime interviewer select the candidate on the basis of personal characteristics or personal relationship with the candidate like same cast, belong to same city • Interviewer sometimes selects that candidate which is not eligible for that job on the basis of strong reference.

SUGGESTIONS Company selection process should have main focus on behavior of selected

candidate. Company should focus on work sampling because applicant performs a

small sampling of actual job activities. Use psychometric assessment to pinpoint those personality factors that

predict success.

OBJECTIVE OF THE ORGANIZATION HRM:

The protection of its employees is Nestle first priority because employees are the asset of this is company. To maintain the global corporate standard Nestle focuses on the need for safe working environments. Nestle has resolved to provide a safe working environment for all their employees, contractors and visitors and they are trying to implement Health and safety practices and programs at all working places objectives of the organization are We provide a safe work place to owe employees. We lessen risks of our employees and contractors and visitors and take care of their

We develop an efficient injury management system which helps the affected employees return to work. We supply information, provide training to employees and contractors to make them aware of their roles and responsibilities in decreasing the risk of work place injury or illness. We are encouraged a safety and Health management from our suppliers and contractors. We discuss on Health and safety matters with employees and other stakeholders. Method of HRM at Nestle: The Nestle group in the area of interpersonal relations and its management style and the corporation values are stated as follows: Their respect demands specific attitude that is worthy to be highlighted in the present policy.

If the company is able to attract employees and develop its growth continually, they will easily achieve a long term success. This is a primary duty of all managers. The principle of the Nestle policy is to hire staff with personal attitude and professional skills because it will make them able to consolidate a long term relationship with the company. Hence ‘the potential for professional advancement’ is an important standard for recruitment .In Nestle people are dealt with respect and faith. There is not intolerance, harassment or discrimination in the management and this principle is applied and maintained at every stage and situation. Nestle management does not work in complexity and they are honest in behaving with customers and employees for excellent communication. The Nestle is improving continuously for their sincerity in work, dialogue and transparency.HRM Models: The source approach to HRM gives importance on an employee to be ‘resourceful’ who increases performance by using motivation, communication, leadership to increase commitment and loyalty. The soft model considers that if satisfaction is increased it will be the only way to go about in the management against various estimated methods possibly used in the hard model. The Objective of HR /Manpower planning: Manpower planning is done to balance and develop the organizations ability to meet it’s for taking any advice and decision Nestle depends on its employees. So Nestle has a ‘Democratic Leadership Style’

  Manager of Nestle measures progress which can be achieved by training programs. The purpose behind this is to motivate employees by providing attractive but realistic career that helps them develop Formal training programs are arranged with purpose of improving pertinent skills and

Page 15: Hrm project on nestle

competencies. Besides, these programs perform individual development. As a result one cannot get reward by attending programs. Training and development is done on-the- job. Every manager has a duty to guide and train employees for their progress. It must be admitted that the company culture has learning. All employees try to upgrade their skills and knowledge continuously. So employees are willing to learn to be recruited by Nestle. Goal by developing Strategies that will contribute its optimum contribution of human resource. The line manager and staff manager take the responsibility of Manpower planning. The line management gives the estimate of manpower requirements and staff manager works on selection and recruitment related to line manager to whom man power is vital. Organizations HR Planning and development: What the employee requires can be understood by an effective mechanism called HR planning.HR planning can manage the changes in the organization like growing decrease in requirements of employees. HR planning implements new recruitment and hold skilled and efficient staff by understanding easily the needs of future Training and development of Nestle:

Formal assessment of Nestle is done once a year on a standard basis. It gives feedback on past performance and future potential. Other related aspects concerning a staff member’s performance are provided feedback. Objective Evaluation of the Organization: Human resource managers should identify human resource strategies like flexible dynamic employees are attracted, selected and then trained and motivated to be more productive than the competition. Human resource managers are not administrators but strategic partners. Inspire of being Human Company Nestle has most of the above mentioned qualities seen in the managers of present time. The role of HR at Nestle is changing for certain factors. The HR managers at Nestle focus on following qualities along with professional skills and practical experience: The HR managers should develop and motivate employees by addressing the issues that help others to improve in their work and their ability. The managers should be curious and broadminded and interested in other culture and lifestyles including continuous lea the act of mentor is done by each manager for his employees.

15 | P a g e

Page 16: Hrm project on nestle

 Performance of organization and process of production, employees etc. Performance Management at Nestle: Line managers and HR assess formally once in a year and get feedback. Subordinate managers can interrogate for an unfair evaluation. The HR department has enlisted specific key performance indicators. Remuneration structure and promotion criteria consider individual performance. HR staff must help the management in elaborating training programs. Sufficient training programs are developed at the level of every working company that capitalizes on the availability of local regional or global resources of the group. Some training programs improve the language skills of the employees. These programs also try to consolidate corporate cohesion as well as to promote networking throughout the group. They develop and share best practices of the different management disciplines practiced in the group. E-learning programs are alternative to formal training programs. Competency profile mapping: Competencies are accumulated by totalizing success factors important for obtaining good results in a particular job or in a particular company at nestle. Success factors are made up of knowledge, skills and attributes that are stated in case of particular behaviors and are exhibited by efficient performers in those works.

TRAINING PROGRAMS AT NESTLÉ

The willingness to learn is therefore an essential condition to be employed by Nestlé. First and foremost, training is done on-the-job. Guiding and coaching is part of the responsibility of each manager and is crucial to make each one progress in his/her position. Formal training programs are generally purpose-oriented and designed to improve relevant skills and competencies. Therefore they are proposed in the framework of individual development programs and not as a reward.

LITERACY TRAINING

Most of Nestlé’s people development programs assume a good basic education on the part of employees. However, in a number of countries, we have decided to offer employees the opportunity to upgrade their essential literacy skills. A number of Nestlé companies have therefore set up special programs for those who, for one reason or another, missed a large part of their elementary schooling. These programs are especially important as they introduce increasingly sophisticated

16 | P a g e

Page 17: Hrm project on nestle

production techniques into each country where they operate. As the level of technology in Nestlé factories has steadily risen, the need for training has increased at all levels. Much of this is on-the-job training to develop the specific skills to operate more advanced equipment. But it’s not only new technical abilities that are required. It’s sometimes new working practices. For example, more flexibility and more independence among work teams are sometimes needed if equipment is to operate at maximum efficiency. “Sometimes we have debates in class and we are afraid to stand up. But our facilitators tell us to stand up because one day we might be in the parliament

NESTLÉ APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM

Apprenticeship programs have been an essential part of Nestlé training where the young trainees spent three days a week at work and two at school. Positive results observed but some of these soon ran into a problem. At the end of training, many students were hired away by other companies which provided no training of their own. Like them, for me the Nestlé Apprenticeship Program will not be the end of my training but it will provide me with the right base for further advancement. We should have more apprentices here as we are trained so well!” “It’s not only a matter of learning bakery; we also learn about microbiology, finance, budgeting, costs, sales, how to treat the customer, and so on. That is the reason I think that this is really something that is going to give meaning to my life. It will be very useful for everything.”

LOCAL TRAINING

Two-thirds of all Nestlé employees work in factories, most of which organize continuous training to meet their specific needs. In addition, a number of Nestlé operating companies run their own residential training centers. The result is that local training is the largest component of Nestlé’s people development activities worldwide and a substantial majority of the company’s 240000 employees receive training every year. Ensuring appropriate and continuous training is an official part of every manager’s responsibilities and, in many cases; the manager is personally involved in the teaching. For this reason, part of the training structure in every company is focused on developing managers’ own coaching skills. Additional courses are held outside the factory when required, generally in connection with

17 | P a g e

Page 18: Hrm project on nestle

the operation of new technology. The variety of programs is very extensive. They start with continuation training for ex-apprentices who have the potential to become supervisors or section leaders, and continue through several levels of technical, electrical and maintenance engineering as well as IT management. The degree to which factories develop “home-grown” specialists varies considerably, reflecting the availability of trained people on the job market in each country. On-the-job training is also a key element of career development in commercial and administrative positions. Here too, most courses are delivered in-house by Nestlé trainers but, as the level rises, collaboration with external institutes increases. “As part of the Young Managers’ Training Program I was sent to a different part of the country and began by selling small portions of our Magi bouillon cubes to the street stalls, the ‘sari sari’ stores, in my country. Even though most of my main key accounts are now supermarkets, this early exposure were an invaluable learning experience and will help me all my life.” “Through its education and training program, Nestlé manifests its belief that people are the most important asset. In my case, I was fortunate to participate in Nestlé’s Young Managers Program at the start of my Nestlé career, in 1967. This foundation has sustained me all these years up to my present position of CEO of one of the top 12 Nestlé companies in the world Virtually every national Nestlé company organizes management-training courses for new employees with High school or university qualifications. But their approaches vary considerably. In Japan, for example, they consist of a series of short courses typically lasting three days each. Subjects include human assessment skills, leadership and strategy as well as courses for new supervisors and new key staff. Nestlé Pakistan runs 12-month programs for management trainees in sales and marketing, finance and human resources, as well as in milk collection and agricultural services. These involve periods of fieldwork, not only to develop a broad range of skills but also to introduce new employees to company organization and systems. The scope of local training is expanding. The growing familiarity with information technology has enabled “distance learning” to become a valuable resource, and many Nestlé companies have appointed corporate training assistants in this area. It has the great advantage of allowing students to select courses that meet their individual needs and do the work at their own pace, at convenient times. In Singapore, to quote just one example, staff is given financial help to take evening courses in job-related subjects. Fees and expenses are reimbursed for

18 | P a g e

Page 19: Hrm project on nestle

successfully following courses leading to a trade certificate, a high school diploma, university entrance qualifications, and a bachelor’s degree.

INTERNATIONAL TRAINING

Nestlé’s success in growing local companies in each country has been highly influenced by the functioning of its international Training Centre, located near our company’s corporate headquarters in Switzerland. For over 30 years, the Rive-Reine International Training Centre has brought together managers from around the world to learn from senior Nestlé managers and from each other.Country managers decide who attends which course, although there is central screening for qualifications, and classes are carefully composed to include people with a range of geographic and functional backgrounds. Typically a class contains 15–20 nationalities. The Centre delivers some 70 courses, attended by about 1700 managers each year from over 80 countries. All course leaders are Nestlé managers with many years of experience in a range of countries. Only 25% of the teaching is done by outside professionals, as the primary faculty is the Nestlé senior management. The programs can be broadly divided into two groups:

Management courses: these account for about 66% of all courses at Rive-Reine. The participants have typically been with the company for four to five years. The intention is to develop a real appreciation of Nestlé values and business approaches. These courses focus on internal activities.

Executive courses: these classes often contain people who have attended a management course five to ten years earlier. The focus is on developing the ability to represent Nestlé externally and to work with outsiders. It emphasizes industry analysis,

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

Learning is part of the Company culture. Each employee, at all levels, is conscious of the need to upgrade continuously her/his knowledge and skills. The willingness to learn is therefore a non- negotiable condition to be employed by Nestle. First and foremost, training is done on-the-job. Guiding and coaching is part of the responsibility of each manager and it is crucial to make each one progress in her/his position. When formal training programs are organized they should be

19 | P a g e

Page 20: Hrm project on nestle

purpose oriented and designed to improve relevant skills and competencies. Therefore they are proposed in the framework of individual development programs. Industrial relations Nestle upholds the freedom of association of its employees and the effective recognition of the right to collective bargaining. Nestle wishes, also through its relationship with unions and other representative associations, to sustain the long-term development of the Company, both to the benefit of the employees and of the Company, by maintaining a level of competitiveness adapted to its economic environment. Industrial relations are a clear responsibility of local management and will be handled at the appropriate level: first at site level (factories, warehouse) subsequently at regional or national level, according to local law and practices. Relations with unions will be established under strict observation of national law, local practices as they’ll as those international recommendations to which Nestle has adhered to on a voluntary basis as stated in the Corporate Business Principles. Contacts with union delegates should create a further opportunity to provide information allowing their members and other representative associations to acquire a full understanding of the business activities and the goals of Nestle. In accordance with local legislation, Nestle will refrain from any action restricting the employee’s right to be or not to be affiliated to a union. Nestle will not engage with any union or other representative association in activities or discussions other than those relating to employment and working conditions as they’ll as issues relating to the workplace. Whenever negotiations take place, they will be duly prepared with the full involvement of line management and take into account both the Company’s and the employees’ legitimate interest. In dealings with unions, it will be ensured that management prerogatives be properly maintained. The fact that Nestle is more people and product than systems oriented is reflected in the way HR is functioning and is organized. The HR manager should not only have the skills and competencies from a purely professional standpoint but also have the charisma and the credibility to be a trustworthy partner to her/his colleagues. Whereas the HR function should indeed provide flawless administrative support, its main role is to add value to the business and to play a proactive role in every situation where HR action is required. Specific HR KPI’s are useful in assessing the performance of an HR unit. However, it should be kept in mind that the HR contribution aims in the first place at optimizing the overall company performance through improving people performance. With the evidence that the human capital is of increasing importance,

20 | P a g e

Page 21: Hrm project on nestle

HR plays indeed a pivotal role in the conception and implementation of the people strategies that impact financial results and the organization’s overall reputation and effectiveness.

They have a unique set of values and guiding principles that have been built up over time. To try to summarize them in a sentence or two would make them meaningless. To engender the unique spirit that permeates the entire Nestle Group: They believe in people, rather than systems. They are committed to creating value for our shareholders, but they will not favor short-term profits at the expense of long-term business development. They are as decentralized as our basic policy and strategy decisions will allow. They are committed to continuous improvement rather than dramatic, one-off changes Above all, they are pragmatic and not dogmatic If these are values that strike a chord with you, spare a few minutes to read through the questions below. To keep us ahead in the ever-changing food industry, they are constantly driving forward the boundaries of our industry.

A world of opportunities quite literally awaits those who are prepared to: Learn something new every day Adapt to new environments Develop multi-lingual skills you could have what it takes to be a Nestle manager.
