PZ Cussons Recruitment Programme,2012

PZ Cussons Nigeria Plc, the largest subsidiary of PZ Cussons, has enjoyed tremendous business success in Nigeria for over a century.

No other consumer goods company possesses our heritage in Nigeria or understands its customers better than we do. Our approach to Nigeria, our customers, our consumers and to our business is designed to sustain us far into the future.

Our prime business objective in Nigeria is sustainable and profitable growth and our drive to be world-class in every aspect of our business life will be relentless.

To achieve this, we have adopted a Strategic Business Unit (SBU) structure, in which each SBU has clear focus on its markets; developing a deep understanding of the needs and aspirations of its consumers and the dynamics of the marketplace, which it can exploit to deliver its objectives.

Our business policies, systems and actions (procedures and processes, corporate and personal ethics, corporate image, employee development, equality of opportunity, remuneration, services provided to distributors etc) are harmonized between all our SBUs, ensuring the sharing of best practice and operational synergies.

By combining our financial strength and the commercial acumen encouraged at all levels amongst our people, we are positioning ourselves to seize profitable new opportunities within our chosen sectors.

We firmly believe that our people are our greatest asset. As we strive for world-class standards in every aspect of our enterprise, our employees are encouraged to manage and delegate appropriately, to accept responsibility and to recognise that they are both empowered to act and accountable for their actions.

Our long term people development programme has the clear objective to improve the quality of our management resource both by development from within and by external recruitment.

Exactly in line with the policy of our parent Group, our commitment is to establish a working environment which is based on a transparent meritocracy and the full engagement and involvement of excellent people.
