Our business will only thrive if we create value for our employees and our communities
It’s easy today to be wowed by technology. Whether marveling at the vast amount of data I can store in my smartphone, or witnessing the high-tech wizardry at one of Nestlé’s factories, the potential of technology seems, at times, nearly limitless.
Even so, the lifeblood of most successful businesses — and certainly one with our mission, scope and reach — is a modern workforce. At Nestlé, our ability to create value for our shareholders is dependent on the value we create for society. I can unequivocally say that we can only achieve these dual goals by investing first in our people.
For all the wonders of technology and its essential role in a global business like ours, building a strong workforce can’t be turned over to a computer or executed with a line of code. With 51,000 employees in the U.S. alone, Nestlé in the US is continually reimagining our work environment and realigning our policies to build a diverse, knowledgeable, engaged and fulfilled workforce that will make our next 150 years as successful as the first 150.
