HLL to move to a new state-of-the-art corporate office
26-08-2006 :
Commenting on the decision, Douglas Baillie, CEO, HLL, said, “This is a significant step forward in our ongoing efforts to bring the scale and might of ‘One HLL’ to win in the market place. A unified corporate office will help to further integrate business processes and leverage scale and synergies across the organization. It will over time unlock the value of existing business offices fuelling our growth agenda. It will enable us all to drive a single-purpose – ‘One HLL’ agenda to win with our consumers and customers.
HLL’s Foods and Beverages, Home and Personal Care Businesses along with the Regional Category functions and Training Centres will work together in the new campus. This co-location will harness synergies between Regional Category teams and the operating company.
The transition to the new office will be done in two phases. In Phase I, the Bangalore Foods team will be relocated to Mumbai Head office by January 1, 2007. In Phase II, the Mumbai Head Office and Training Centre will be relocated to the new Andheri campus during 2008.
The organization has put in place a transition management team which will ensure that the process is transparent, fair and empathetic. For those employees who choose not to relocate on account of any personal reasons, our commitment is to ensure their appropriate resettlement.
The new campus will be built to a single purpose – of creating an inspiring work environment. It will be a facility that will tangibly demonstrate what we stand for as an organization, befitting our company’s stature as India’s largest and most successful FMCG company and as one of India’s preeminent corporations.
