Nestle
1. History
It all began from a little venture by a Swiss pharmacist, Henri Nestlé, to
develop an alternative for infants who cannot be breastfed,with a
combination of milk, wheat flour, and sugar. Not only did this formula
help reduce infant mortality from malnutrition across Europe,but also
formed the basis for the world’s largest food and beverages company.To
this end, Nestlé soon added chocolate,milk, and Nescafe coffee to its line
of items through mergers and research. Nestlé kept increasing the length
and width of its productlines to cater to a wide range of consumerneeds.
As Nestlé was making its operations global, it found an eager market in
Pakistan. Nestle has been serving Pakistani consumers since 1988,when
its parent company, the Switzerland-based Nestlé SA, first acquired a
share in Milkman Ltd. Few of the milestones achieved by Nestlé Pakistan
and Milkman Ltd. are mentioned in
Global Structure
At the international level, the world is divided into four parts, each reporting
to the world headquarters in Switzerland. Nestlé employs bottom-up as well
as top-down reporting. For yearly budgeting, each territory reports next
year’s forecastedsales toots Area Manager who after gathering all these
reports sends a summary for his area to the Regional Manager. Regional
and Zonal Manager do the same process until National Sales Manager
has the forecasted sales for the entire country. Target sales are then
reported down to each zone, from where it is sent to each region, and
the process continues until each territory has its target sales

standards to our stakeholders. The number of workplace injuries has been
reduced.For example, in 2007 the number of injuries leading to one or
more days away from work in Nestlé decreased to almost one quarter of
that seen in 2001.
Listening and responding to employee views
Businesses throughout Nestlé listen and respond to employees.Nestle
globally conducted an independentsurvey, which provided constructive
feedbackfrom employeeson a range of topics.A clear finding was that
Nestle employees wanted the business to take a fresh look at internal
communication. Nestle responded firstlyby running structured workshops
to help translate opinions into action. Various initiatives they are
implemented as a result. These range from new opportunities to meetand
share ("mystery lunches" and monthly departmental meetings) to improved
information sources (intranet and publications library). Nestlé is conducting
a global employee survey. This is currently underway, and they will be able
to report on it in future publications.
