LIFELONG LEARNING

Learning spirit – ‘learn everywhere and apply everyday’ is the core strength of Unilever. With the industrial revolution 4.0, where changes are constant and faster than ever, we see a great need for our people to stay up-to-date and ahead of the curve; learn, unlearn and relearn future new capabilities (e.g. Digital, Data Analytics...), and proactively drive their own learning agenda. We have revamped the curriculum for each functions to make it future-fit, activated Lifelong Learning Spirit, and created multiple learning formats, especially intuitive e-learning that curates to each individual’s learning needs and allows them to learn everywhere, at any time. LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT Unilever is a talent making company. Our signature UFLP – Unilever Future Leader Program and U-Fresh – Unilever Fresh Program are great examples of how we build and develop future leaders from within. Every year we attract and recruit fresh graduates from universities across Vietnam, put them through an intensive on-the-job learning program, rotate them to different roles, different functions, give them real business challenges and international exposures to accelerate their development. Our internal promotion rate is above 80% thanks to these initiatives. The open, learning and coaching culture that we have fostered over the years helps people learn fast and unleash their potential. DIVERSE, INCLUSIVE CULTURE As a responsible business, we drive diversity and inclusion at work with progressive policies and practices to allow people to perform at their very best, irrespective of their gender, age, race or backgrounds. Women account for more than 51% at our management positions and we encourage our business partners and suppliers to create more job opportunities for women. Along with the diversity and inclusivity being put into practices within our business, we also leverage what we committed internally to increase the positive influence to the community through our brands and leadership.
