In Kimberly-Clark, employees are our most valued resource and are at the center of everything we do. Their talent, diversity and commitment are crucial to our innovation and success. Our work environment fosters personal and corporate growth. It reflects a sense of community that nurtures innovation. Our talent management strategy is to develop employees and support the growth objectives in our Global Business Plan. We build a performance-driven organization to attract, develop, reward and retain top talent.

Aiming to win in the competitive market, it requires Kimberly-Clark China to keep enough talents within the organization in order to outperform its competitors. And it is the company’s priority to retain the Value-Based senior managers with compliance and accountability to ensure K-C China’s sustainable development in this country.

Meanwhile, facing the rapidly changing business environment and dynamic China market, the company feels pressure to urge its staff to refresh their insights and keep pace with the times. The unsolved challenges in front of China management team were how to attract talents to stay in K-C and how the company can achieve a “win-win” with its employees.

Kicking off a series of practices in Kimberly-Clark China is the answer, including Reverse Mentorship Pairs, EMBA/MBA Sponsored by K-C, Flexi-Working Moms and Accompany Your Child on the First Day of School, etc. All these programs are aiming to create a stable and highly motivated working place, develop a clear career path for talents with tangible support from the company, build up an egalitarian culture to encourage insights-exchanging, and at the same time effectively refresh talents’ minds to adapt to a rapidly-changing business environment

• Insight-Based, Reverse Mentorship Pairs – Create reverse traditional mentorship pairing by having younger staff mentor senior leaders, and pairing participants based on differences to maximize strategic intelligence exchange.
• EMBA/MBA Sponsored by K-C – Invest in K-C China’s talents via sponsoring their EMBA/MBA education. Moreover, invest in professional certification to enable technical expertise.
• Flexi-Working Moms – Support K-C talents during this utmost important life phase by enabling working mothers with flexible working hours and locations to ensure they can take good care of their babies while maintaining their own careers.
• Accompany Your Child on the First Day of School – Employees having young children will be permitted to arrive at work late on the first day of the new semester. They are encouraged to take their kids to school or bus stop in order to eliminate some of the anxious thoughts and make going to school a positive experience by accompanying the children.

It is also aligned with our “People Philosophy”. The People Philosophy clearly articulates what it expects from current and potential employees, and how the company support talents to grow faster in their career life.

The value of Caring has been rooted in the center of the company since the first day it established. We believe “People” are the most essential part that contributed to the long-time success of the company. We not only provide employees growth opportunities but also create caring working environment to them. Apart from the “Flexi-Working Moms” project mentioned above, the company in China also conducted a series of employee caring initiatives, including family day, role model recognition, and labor union, etc. In response to COVID-19's challenges, we launched Influenza Vaccination Sponsorship and EAP program in 2020 to provide dual security both physically & mentally to our people.

Other than caring people at workplace, we also extend our caring to the communities we live and work.
