Human Resource Management Nestle
Nestlé, over its long historical development from a small village operation to the world’s
leading food Company, has demonstrated an enviable capability to adjust to an ever-
changing external environment, without losing its fundamental beliefs and core values,
so important for long-term success. Over the years to come, this capability will continue
to be challenged even more as Nestlé is growing in size and complexity up to a
dimension which demands a continuous evolution of its organization and of the way in
which it is run.
This permanent transformation will be driven by the need to manage complexity with a
high level of efficiency, leveraging all the intangibles which enhance our competitive
edge. Our personal motivation based on willingness to learn and to question what we are
doing and why we are doing it, combined with our longstanding respect for certain
Nestlé values, will assure our success. In such a setting, every employee of Nestlé has
both an individual and complementary role to play in building the Company of
tomorrow. The Basic Nestlé Management and Leadership Principles were issued in
1997. The first version reflected the specific situation of the Company at that time, and
intended to build a bridge at a moment when it was essential to ensure that our Nestlé
values were recorded for future reference.
The new version not only re-emphasizes the values that have been and always will be
those of Nestlé, but focuses strongly on the skills that will ensure Nestlé’s future over the
years to come. It is also aligned with the Corporate Business Principles, which have been
revised in 2002. We wish that each of you carefully read this document, share it with
your collaborators, take pride in adhering to its principles and implement them with
conviction and enthusiasm. We believe indeed that these principles are there to be lived
not only through discussions with colleagues and during training sessions but mainly by
taking concrete action in the workplace. These principles should be applied everywhere
and at all times in our organization, thus becoming a tangible expression of our corporate
culture and a key component of our success.

Nestlé is a human Company providing a response to individual human needs throughout
the world with specific concern for the well-being of both its consumers and its
employees. This is reflected in its attitude and its sense of responsibility towards people.
Nestlé aims to increase sales and profits but, at the same time, to raise the standard of
living everywhere it is active and the quality of life for everyone. Nestlé is also
convinced that it is the people who form the strength of the Company and that nothing
can be achieved without their commitment and their energy, which makes people its
most important asset. Involvement of people at all levels starts with appropriate
information on the Company’s activities and on the specific aspects of their work.
Through open communication and active co-operation, everyone is invited to contribute
to improvements enhancing Company results and personal development
MANAGEMENT COMMITMENT
Members of Nestlé Management at all levels are strongly committed to the Company, its
development and its culture as expressed in The Nestlé Management and Leadership
Principles. They practice what they preach and show the example in their daily work.
Apart from professional skills and insight, the capacity and willingness to apply these
principles are the main criteria for progressing in the organisation, regardless of origin,
nationality, religion, race, gender or age.
2
product safety and quality, Research & Development based innovation capacity and
strong brands are a priority for Nestlé.
3
Pride in contributing to the reputation and the performance of the Company. This
calls especially for nurturing a sense of quality and long-term achievement in the
daily workbeyond fashion and shortsighted gain.
Loyalty to and identification with the Company.
Nestle is corporate to the following principles in all countries, taking into account local
legislation, cultural and religious practices :
Nestlé’s business objective, and that of management and employees at all levels
is to manufacture and market the Company’s products in such a way as to create
value that can be sustained over the long term for shareholders, employees,
consumers, business partners and the large number of national economies in
which Nestle operates.
Nestlé does not favor short-term profit at the expense of successful long-term
business development, but recognizes the need to generate a healthy profit each
year in order to maintain the support of our shareholders and the financial
markets band to finance investments; Nestlé recognizes that its consumers have a
sincere and legitimate interesting the behavior, beliefs and actions of the
4
Company behind brands in which they place their trust, and that without its
consumers the company would not exist.
Nestlé believes that, as a general rule, legislation is the most effective safeguard
of responsible conduct, although in certain areas, additional guidance to staff in
the form of voluntary business principles is beneficial in order to ensure that the
highest standards are met throughout the organization; Nestlé is conscious of the
fact that the success of a corporation is a reflection of the professionalism,
conduct and the responsible attitude of its management and employees.
Therefore recruitment of the right people and ongoing training and development are
crucial; Nestlé operates in many countries and in many cultures throughout the world.
This rich diversity is an invaluable source for our leadership. No single document can
capture every legal obligation that may be required in each of these countries. Indeed,
there may be conflicting legal requirements. Nestlé continues to maintain its
commitment to follow and respect all applicable local laws in each of its markets.

NESTLE LEADERSHIP VALUE : ADDING VALUE
Members of the Nestlé Management at all levels are more concerned with continuously
adding value to the Company than exercising formal authority. This can only materialize
with a high involvement of each employee and a common mindset geared to results.
Contributing to results through project work and special assignments becomes more
frequent, reaching beyond conventional boundaries in order to contribute to wider group
performance. The broader the responsibility of a Nestlé Manager, the more the following
specific criteria should be considered, in addition to professional skills, practical
experience and result focus:

willingness to take initiatives and risks as well as to maintain composure under
pressure.
Ability to motivate and to develop people, addressing all those issues that allow
others to progress in their work and to develop their capabilities.
Curiosity and open-mindedness as well as a high level of interest in other
cultures and life-styles. This also includes a commitment to continuous learning
and improving, as well as to sharing knowledge and ideas freely with others.
A taste for initiative together with the ability to create a climate of innovation
and to think outside the box. This implies the right to make a mistake but also the
readiness to correct it and to learn from it.
Willingness to accept change and the ability to manage it.
6
Adaptability of thought and deed, taking into account the specificity and the
complexity of the environment.
Credibility as a result of coherent action, leadership and achievement.
International experience and understanding of other cultures.

PROMOTIONAL STRATEGIES
Nestle launch was, perhaps one of the most aggressive as far as processed Nestle product
concerned, with TV, print ads, radio commercials, billboards and plenty of BTL (below
the line) activities including direct consumer and shop branding activities. Due to this
aggressive marketing campaign, the competition seems to begetting tougher. So far ads
focus towards the younger generation, who want to feel f r e e , y o u n g a n d e x c i t e d ,

They keep the information of the other companies what they are offering. Try
to improve their strategies from others so that they can promote their product
more. Like more companies are now coming in the market so there is more completion
in the market and they have to be up to date from the current situations

EMPLOYMENT AT NESTLE
The Corporate Business Principles outline the Company’s commitment to fully endorse
and to respect a series of principles and international conventions concerning employee’s
rights, the protection of children against child labor and other important issues. These
principles are to be respected everywhere and under all circumstances.
The management will implement the necessary processes to ensure that these principles
are enforced at all levels. Employees who are not abiding with the Corporate Business
Principles and the Nestlé Management and Leadership Principles cannot be maintained
in employment and will be requested to leave the organization. Also their main suppliers
and providers of out sourced services should be informed of the Corporate Business
Principles and should comply with those. Nestlé provides a working environment which
protects the health and there welfare of the employees according to the highest?
Affordable standards of safety, hygiene and security. Each employee should not only
Care for her/his own safety but also that of her/his colleagues. Therefore, suggestions for
improvement are they come and will be given prime consideration.

In the same way that no discrimination for reason of origin, nationality, religion, race,
Gender or age will be tolerated when joining Nestlé, no such discrimination will be
tolerated towards Nestlé’s employees. Furthermore, any form of harassment, moral or
sexual, will not only be prohibited but actively tracked and eliminated. Internal Rules
and regulations will explicitly deal with discrimination and harassment issues so as to
obtain the best possible prevention. Nestlé considers that it is not enough to avoid
discrimination or harassment. It is essential to build a relationship based on trust and
respect of employees at all levels. Therefore, it is indispensable for each manager to
know how her/his employees feel in their work. In larger units it may be necessary to
organize such feedback on a regular basis, using internal surveys or other valuable
approaches. Nestlé favors a policy of long-term employment. Whenever, an operation
activity cannot be maintained within the Nestlé sphere, reasonable steps will be
undertaken to avoid overall loss of employment by identifying an external Business
willing to take over activity from Nestlé, whenever this is possible.
If this is not possible, a closing down may be unavoidable. It will be handled in full
respect of local legislation and of the Corporate Business Principles. A social plan will
be elaborated taking into account the legitimate interests of the concerned staff.
Reasonable efforts will be deployed to reduce, as much as possible, the negative Social
impact of such a situation.
