We are fostering a learning culture, in which, more and more, employees can take stock of their own skills progress and education needs. Targeted training and career development initiatives are a way of life. Wherever possible, employees deal with challenging and stretching assignments and constructive team feedback is becoming more widespread – a positive, daily practice.

We are keen that Givaudan's line managers should regard themselves, increasingly, as 'talent champions': they should be committed to offering people flexible and wide-ranging development opportunities so they can maintain and increase their employability and boost their job satisfaction.
