We aspire to worldwide leadership in our field, but we can only achieve this by having competent and talented people in the various countries where we operate; so our aim is to be an employer that can attract the best professionals in any specific market.
Our customers expect service from strong local teams; so we need people who are entirely familiar with the conditions under which local businesses operate, (though we do occasionally make use of expatriates to fill temporary gaps in specific technical or management know-how in any particular organization).
So how do we, as a global group, become the preferred employer locally?
The real HR challenge for any business leader is to build a local presence that is strong enough to achieve this.
