The formal training program are action based to improve skills and competencies in the framework of individual development programs. As a consequence, attending training is not considered as a reward, but a staff’s duty.
Besides learning for self, Nestlé employees, especially at managerial and specialist positions, should also have the eagerness to share knowledge and skills to the team with various approaches: having presentation in the team meeting, conducting relevant training program, organizing application activities for team, etc.

Each employee is in charge of her/his own professional development. However the Company endeavours to offer the opportunity to progress for those having the determination and the potential to develop their capabilities. The company encourages its employees to express their objectives and expectations in an open dialogue.
Formal assessment takes place at least once a year. Its purpose is to provide feedback on past performance and more important, future potential. For managerial level, besides the achievement vs objectives, the person has to clearly demonstrate her/his willingness and ability to apply the Nestlé Management and Leadership Principles.

Developing
 

Flexibility is a requirement for ensuring a positive professional evolution. Staff may requested to move to others positions, or to other locations.
Development does not only means promotion, but it may also be job enrichment, job enlargement and job rotation in a flat and flexible organization like Nestlé.
