"The $68 billion consumer products giant is deliberately rotating employees through global assignments to strengthen its culture and surface new ideas. With a 220-year history and operations in more than 100 countries, Colgate's global footprint is reflected in its workforce. Today, one in 12 salaried and clerical employees has worked in two or more countries, and half of senior leaders have held roles across multiple international locations."
"Massey is herself a product of that strategy. Over her 26-year tenure, she has worked across North America, Latin America, and Europe, beginning with a 12-month development program that kept her constantly on the move. The payoff, she says, is mutual. Employees gain broader perspectives and deeper market insight, while Colgate builds more agile leaders who can navigate today's complex global economy and draw on diverse viewpoints that fuel growth."
Colgate-Palmolive systematically rotates employees through international assignments to strengthen culture, surface new ideas, and build a globally experienced leadership pipeline. The company operates in more than 100 countries and has a long corporate history, with a significant portion of its workforce gaining cross-border experience: one in 12 salaried and clerical employees has worked in two or more countries, and half of senior leaders have held roles in multiple international locations. One-third of division and country-hub leaders now work outside their home countries. Rotations expose employees to local decision-making and consumer strategies, fostering broader perspectives and more agile leaders who can navigate a complex global economy.
