We will change the culture
Enhanced capabilities lead to
best-in-class results
Consumer-centric strategies can only be executed successfully by a consumer-centric
culture. Accordingly, cultural change is a critical element in Newell Rubbermaid’s
transformation. Our people and processes must be as innovative and brand-focused,
diverse and global as our businesses. This means building a highly collaborative,
team-oriented organization that can work as one; organizing into global business
units that have a worldwide view of their operations; and investing in training and
development programs that build world-class expertise. All of this will foster a
culture that produces best-in-class results.
Top: Our comprehensive series of Marketing Excellence training programs have been designed to build long-term capabilities
in marketing at every level of the company. Bottom left: Consumer interviews are a critical component of understanding the
end-user to enhance product innovation and marketing plans. Bottom right: Consolidated regional headquarters, such as our
Hong Kong office, are designed to improve collaboration and facilitate sharing of best practices across the company.
