FEW companies come close to Procter & Gamble Co's (P&G) achievements as a top employer. It won the top spot on Fortune magazine's list of Global Top Companies for Leaders in 2011. It was ranked best overall company for leadership development in 2012 by Chief Executive magazine, and it was named fourth-most-in-demand employer in the world by LinkedIn in 2013.
The Ohio-founded multinational consumer goods company - which in 1980 made Singapore its Asia-Pacific (Apac) headquarters - declares that its people are its greatest asset.
Magesvaran Suranjan, P&G Apac president, tells The Business Times: "We pride ourselves in hiring the very best, as well as training them to be the best. P&G depends entirely on the strength of our talent, as our company is primarily 'built from within'." He adds that P&G's future success is therefore dependent on its ability to continuously develop "succeeding generations of leaders".
