Human resources

HR supports & develops Unilever’s most important asset – our people – by enabling them to deliver outstanding business performance.

An eye on the future

Our environment is about empowering people.

Both to contribute to our business objectives and to achieve their own personal and career goals. We also keep an eye on the future, with our 'leadership behaviours' initiative aiming to identify the next generation of leaders.

In HR, you’re not just a part of the Unilever culture – you help create it. What we do impacts everyone within the organisation, which in turn impacts the consumer and the bottom line

Diverse roles

HR's job is to make sure we have highly-skilled, exceptional people in all areas of the organisation.

Within that, there are numerous possibilities split into three broad areas

HR Business Partners

…identify the needs of the business in order to develop, manage and implement appropriate strategies.

They ensure that the right structure, culture, people and capabilities are in place to foster positive working relationships.

HR Expertise Teams

…work on policies, processes, systems and tools that allow each business area to attract, select and develop talented individuals.

They also provide a connection with world-class external experts and keep us up-to-date with industry best practice.

HR Services

…deliver and continuously improve services such as payroll, recruitment, pensions and benefits.

They also track, monitor and aggressively manage service performance to ensure that it’s delivered to the required quality and at the optimum cost.
