Nestlé was founded in 1866 by Henri Nestlé and is today the world's biggest food and beverage
company. Sales at the end of 2005 were CHF 91 bn, with a net profit of CHF 8 bn. Nestlé Employ around
250,000 people from more than 70 countries and have factories or operations in almost every country in
the world. Nestlé is today the world’s leading food company, with a 135-year history and operations in
virtually every country in the world. Nestlé’s principal assets are not office buildings, factories, or even
brands. Rather, it is the fact that they are a global organization comprised of many nationalities, religions,
and ethnic backgrounds all working together in one single unifying corporate culture.
Nestlé History
The history of Nestlé began in Switzerland in 1867 when Henri Nestlé, the pharmacist, launched his
product Farine Lactée Nestlé, a nutritious gruel for children. Henri used his surname, which means ’little
nest’, in both the company name and the logotype. The nest, which symbolizes security, family and
nourishment, still plays a central role in Nestlé’s profile. Since it began over 130 years ago, Nestlé’s
success with product innovations and business acquisitions has turned it into the largest Food Company
in the world. As the years have passed, the Nestlé family has grown to include chocolates, soups, coffee,
cereals, frozen products, yoghurts, mineral water and other food products. Beginning in the 70s, Nestlé
has continued to expand its product portfolio to include pet foods, pharmaceutical products and cosmetics
too.

Internal Recruitment
When a position opens in an organization, it is typically posted on the company's intranet and in common
areas, such as cafeterias, break rooms and departmental information boards. If an employee is interested
in the position, she is normally required to go through a similar process as an external candidate. The
employee will submit her resume and cover letter to human resources, and if she is qualified, the
employee will be scheduled for an interview with human resources and the hiring manager. Nestle prefer
internal recruitment.
External Recruitment

on Internet job boards, local newspapers and ask its employees
for referrals. In most cases, employee referral programs are established and if an employee refers an
outside candidate that is hired, the employee will receive a cash bonus. Human resources will screen

SCREENING INTERVIEW
Before moving further into the selection process, Nestlé prefer to do a screening interview of those
applicants that appear qualified based on information submitted on their résumé and application.
Screening interviews are usually conducted by telephone. The interviewer asks a few straightforward
questions to determine the candidate’s job qualifications and appropriateness for the open position. If it is
determined that the applicant is not appropriate for the position, the interviewer may refer the candidate to
another open position within the organization if there is something available that matches the applicant’s
skills. If there is nothing else available and the candidate is obviously unqualified for the position, the
process ends there, saving both the candidate and the organization the time and expense of going further
into the selection process.

including workbook, exercises, and activities.

Training Process
Diversification Training
It’s a process of training where staffs work at the different level and post of the management and
identify the efficiency and effectiveness of their work ability.
Local Training
These trainings are carried out within the country by reputed training institution from, Bangladesh
slavery and labor training institute and consultant from foreign training institutes are invited to conduct
training. These trainings are usually take place at a different venue other that the office.
In House Training
These trainings are basically held within the office premises and usually get conducted by the senior
managers who are specialist in different field.
Apprenticeship Training
It is a process by which people become skilled worked through a combination of classroom instruction
and on the job training. it is widely used to train individuals for many occupations. It traditionally involves
having the learner apprentice study under the tutelage of a master craftsperson.
Performance Appraisal
The process of monitoring individual and group performance, and giving helpful feedback for
improvement, is generally called performance appraisal. The purpose of appraisals is
Helping the employee to overcome any problems or obstacles to performance.
Identifying where an employee’s potential for improved performance and greater challenge could be
better fulfilled.
Setting goals and prioarities for further monitoring and development.
The process will look at the employee as an individual, but will also ask how the employee help the
organization to achieve its objectives.
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.
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.
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
Conclusion
Nestlé’s overarching principle is that each employee should have the opportunity to develop to the
maximum of his or her potential. Nestlé do this because they believe it pays off in the long run in their
business results, and that sustainable long-term relationships with highly competent people and with the
communities where they operate enhance their ability to make consistent profits. It is important to give
people the opportunities for life-long learning as at Nestle that all employees are called upon to upgrade
their skills in a fast-changing world. Enhancing this virtuous circle is the ultimate goal of their training
efforts at many different levels through the thousands of training programs they run each year.
Over the years, Nestlé has developed a strong network of local Safety, Health and Environment functions
that develops and shares best practices in accident prevention across the world.
Involving employees
Employees at all levels are employed to assume ownership of workplace safety. Behavior based safety
programs are being implemented in all operational sites (including factories and distribution centers).
Safety observations made by those most concerned are gathered and analyzed and measures to
eliminate or manage risks are implemented.
Nestlé regards its people as its most valuable asset and places the highest priority on protecting them. In
every country where we operate, our company emphasizes the need for safe working environments,
which must meet our strict global corporate standards.
We are determined to provide a safe working environment for all our employees, contractors and visitors
and we are vigilant in continuing to implement Health and Safety practices and programs at all our
