Unilever hires executives from Indian arm

NEW DELHI: Fast moving consumer goods player Hindustan Unilever (HUL) on Monday said that around 40 executives of managerial rank were hired by its parent company Unilever last year to serve globally.

At present, over 140 HUL managers, representing about 10 per cent of its total managerial strength, serve Unilever’s operations worldwide, HUL said in response to an e-mail query.

“The number of managers expatriated has been increasing steadily over the last few years. For example, in 2004 HUL had expatriated ten managers from HUL to Unilever, 18 in 2005, 31 in 2006, 28 in 2007 and about 40 in 2008,” a company spokesperson said.

The company, however, refused to divulge details regarding expatriation plans for 2009.

The HUL spokesperson said India had been one of the major centres for attracting talent. — PTI
