Introduction to Unilever
Unilever today
Our brands are trusted everywhere and, by listening to the people who buy them, we've
grown into one of the world's most successful consumer goods companies. In fact, 150
million times a day, someone somewhere chooses a Unilever product.
Look in your fridge, or on the bathroom shelf, and you're bound to see one of our well-known
brands. We create, market and distribute the products that people choose to feed their families
and keep themselves and their homes clean and fresh.
People's lives are changing fast. As the way we all live and work evolves, our needs and
tastes change too. At Unilever we aim to help people in their daily lives. So we keep
developing new products, improving tried and tested brands and promoting better, more
efficient ways of working.
We have a portfolio of brands that are popular across the globe - as well as regional products
and local varieties of famous-name goods. This diversity comes from two of our key
strengths:
Strong roots in local markets and first-hand knowledge of the local culture.
Focusing on performance and productivity, we encourage our people to develop new ideas
and put fresh approaches into practice. Hand in hand with this is a strong sense of
responsibility to the communities we serve. We don't only measure success in financial terms;
how we achieve results is important too. We work hard to conduct our business with
integrity - respecting our employees, our consumers and the environment around us.
Unilever is one of the world's leading suppliers of fast-moving consumer goods. Here are
some recent highlights from our three global divisions - Foods, home care and personal care.
Foods
The acquisition of Bestfoods in 2000 brought us leadership in the culinary category. Knorr is
now our biggest brand, with 2.3 billion sales in over 100 countries and a product range
covering soups, bouillons, sauces, noodles and complete meals.
We are the number one producer of frozen foods in Europe, under the Findus brand in Italy,
Birds Eye in the UK and Iglo in other European countries.
We are the category leader in margarine and spreads in most European countries and North
America, with brands such as Becel (the Netherlands), Flora (UK) and Take Control (US). We
have met consumer demand for healthy foods by launching proactive, a spread which
contains ingredients that can help reduce cholesterol levels.
In the branded olive oil category we are a leader, the most important brand being Bertolli.
Appealing to consumers' taste for Mediterranean food, we have launched Bertolli pasta sauces
and dressings.
We are the world's leading ice cream producer, with brands such as Algida and Wall's in
Europe, and Ben & Jerry's in the United States. Innovations such as Magnum snack-sizes and
Cornetto miniature and multi-packs have sparked progress.
We are the largest seller of packet tea in the world through our Lipton and Brooke Bond
brands.
We lead the home care market in much of the world, which includes cleansing and hygiene
products.
Many of our home care products are market leaders including Brilhante, Cif, Comfort,
Domestos, Omo, Skip and Snuggle.
Within the personal care market, we are global leaders in products for skin cleansing,
deodorants and antiperspirants.
Our global core brands in the personal care market are Axe, Dove, Lux, Pond's, Rexona and
Sunsilk.
Mission
Vitality is at the heart of everything we do. It's in our brands, our people and our approach to
business.

ways in which we engage with society.

RECOMMENDATIONS:
Recommendations for possible changes to practice at multinational
organization of Unilever in Pakistan. Certain sets of criteria are
designed keeping in mind all the salient aspects which are needed
to be catered in designing and evaluating programs.
Specific: Ambiguity emerges when there are unclear instructions
about the rewards and their required actions and this creates a
negative sense for the organization in the heart and mind of the
people. Keeping it simple, clear and specific helps remove
ambiguity and hence strengthening the overall program.
Meaningful: Rewarded achievements should carry a significant
return over investment for both the performer and the organization.
The rewards must be specified for an achievement which has any
significant impact on organizational progress as well as performers
personal or professional life.
Achievable: If goals are unrealistically high to achieve then those
propagates negative reinforcement within the employees so while
setting the goal for any individual or group of employees it should
be kept in mind that those goal must fall within the boundary of
achievable.
right time for their hard work so that they can feel esteemed.
Certain intervals must be specified onto which the performers would
be rewarded.
