Human resource

One of J&J’s many interesting initiatives ‘Johnson & Johnson Human Resource Leadership Development Program’ is a two and a half year programme dedicated to developing the leadership quotient in its HR personnel. It works on a rotational basis to prepare future leaders within the J&J family of companies and all participants need to qualify to be a part of the programme.

Initiatives aim

All their initiatives aim at instilling values that helps in the growth and development of the employees, thereby enhancing their job satisfaction. J&J has a fast paced employee growth programme, wherein employees get a chance to take on responsible positions from the very beginning. For example, a Product Trainee at J&J is directly moved onto to the responsibility of a Product Manager, straight after completing the training period, to give him the opportunity to take charge. With the fast growing retail sector, the new challenge for J&J is to shift its approach of selling through a C&F agent to concentrate more on direct selling in order to cater to the likes of Walmart, Tesco etal.
