Marc Engel, Unilever East Africa, Chief Executive Officer |
Unilever retained the No. 3 global position behind Google in first place and Apple in second, and ahead of businesses including, Microsoft, Facebook, GE, Nestle, Amazon and PepsiCo and P&G which are in the top ten.
The LinkedIn’s Most inDemand Employers 2014 was based on activity
from more than 300 million LinkedIn users and 10 billion interactions that make
up the social media’s prestigious Most inDemand Employer index.
This year LinkedIn reported a
much tougher and competitive employer environment making Unilever’s sustained
profile an outright leader in all sectors more remarkable.
“It is
an honor to be named as the most sought after consumer goods company globally
on LinkedIn, a leading business-oriented social networking service,” echoed
Marc Engel, Unilever CEO for East Africa and emerging markets. “This important
recognition underscores the fact that we are creating the right culture and
shared commitments to world class business acumen, and to meeting consumer
needs around the world."
He said
the company’s ambition is to double the size of our business while reducing our
impact on the environment, and increasing our positive social impact. “We can
only do this by continuing to attract the very best talent to our teams,” Engel
adds.
Earlier this year Unilever became
the 1st FMCG organization to reach the landmark achievement of attracting over
1,000,000 followers on LinkedIn which has helped to secure our sustained place
amongst the world’s very best employers.
This
announcement comes after Unilever was recently ranked number one top employer 2014/2015 in Kenya by the
Top Employer Institute, an international certification institute for the second
year in a row.
