Purpose, Values and Principles

Taken together, our Purpose, Values and Principles are the foundation for P&G’s unique culture. Throughout our history of over 170 years, our business has grown and changed while these elements have endured, and will continue to be passed down to generations of P&G people to come.

Our Purpose unifies us in a common cause and growth strategy of improving more consumers’ lives in small but meaningful ways each day. It inspires P&G people to make a positive contribution every day.

Our Values reflect the behaviors that shape the tone of how we work with each other and with our partners.

And Our Principles articulate P&G’s unique approach to conducting work every day.

Learning Opportunities

As people are our number one priority we do everything we possibly can to ensure that you contribute your maximum potential. We design our learning interventions for you, in the form of classroom trainings, internet-based courses or whatever suits you best as a learner, to help develop your commercial, technical, managerial and interpersonal skills and to gain the multi-cultural understanding to manage international relationships. We offer a variety of trainings including “Effective Presentation Skills”, “Coaching for Everybody”, “Time Management”, “Project Management” and “Negotiation and Influencing Skills” – just to mention a few.

Our Team/Staff:

At P&G, we are proud that we develop talent almost exclusively from within. This means we are not just offering you your first job out of university, we are hiring you with the expectation you will grow into one of our future leaders. Maybe even our next CEO.

International Business

The global nature of our business means that you'll find yourself working across many different functions or business units where you will interact with the over 100 nationalities P&G employs in Europe. Your projects will often have an international nature and span well beyond your national boundaries: you will experience the global temperament of our brands and the constantly changing work environment that only a multinational company can offer. So if you're keen to explore the world of international business, P&G is the right place for you!

Salary & Benefits

We apply the concept of “Total Compensation” which includes your pay as well as other elements of high significance to you. So… how is Total Compensation built up? One part of Total Compensation is your salary. We believe our salaries should stand out from the crowd and that is why we apply two principles when defining our salaries:

• We pay competitively: We review our salary ranges each year through benchmarking with the fines companies that compete with P&G for market share and people and ensure our salaries are set at the top level.
• We pay for performance: Salary increases happen steadily throughout your career and will vary based on your performance progression: Each employee has their own salary plan to correctly reward each individual contribution.

Additionally, we are always looking at ways to improve the benefits we offer in order to create the right workplace. You will receive the wide range of benefits you'd expect from a big company, combined with the local working conditions and legislation in the country of your interest. Stock Ownership, Group Life Insurance, Health Insurance, and Pension Plan are a few examples of our focus to provide our employees and their dependents with adequate financial protection on solid and long term care basis. Moreover, our Total Compensation package wouldn’t be complete without life’s pleasure extras – gyms, healthy meals, P&G products with discounts, and celebrating your seniority in the company are just a few examples of the way we like making our employee’s life better everyday.

Build From Within philosophy

At P&G, we are proud that we develop talents almost exclusively from within. This means we are not just offering you your first job out of university, we are hiring you with the expectation you will grow into one of our future leaders. Maybe even our next CEO. Our Build From Within approach means that you will start in the entry level position of the function you have applied for and face new and diverse challenges every day. From day one you will be given real responsibility that will increase over time into independent leadership of your area of activities; but along this path you will receive the support and guidance you need to succeed. P&G takes seriously the responsibility to onboard you thoroughly and provide you with first class learning programs tailored to your individual needs or the function you will join. Over time, after you have built distinctive competency in several areas, together we will match your aspirations and talents with our business opportunities to find your perfect next assignment. Our flexible approach and people-first culture ensures that we can develop your strengths and maybe discover some hidden talents along the way! Your contribution, skill development, and passion will determine where you go and what you do.
