How a Unilever Executive Is Thinning the Ranks

Tags:
In the small Dutch town of Delft a factory of Unilever that operated for 124 years is now closing after a 4 week strike and settlement of $25 miillon pounds. Its part of Unilevers restructuring plan led by a former Navy officer with Motorola experience. Unilever has far smaller sales than P&G but more employees and it has lagged behind in responding to a changing market while P&G has been moving with changing market trends and making quicker decisions. To speed up decisionmaking and get people to perform the roles needed by the market, the right people in different jobs its scrapping the opld system and letting go half of the executives in the company- a big move. Roles are being reassigned based on market needs, leadership skills, and sales and profits of divisions and growth areas.
We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
