Take a look at your corporate mission statement. Does the vision expressed there address any of the big issues facing the world? If it does, do people believe it? That is the challenge facing PepsiCo. The strategy there revolves around the three pillars of human sustainability, environmental sustainability, and talent sustainability. Engaged employees are the key to success and training professionals have a significant role to play in that success.
Here's a note from the Editor of the Journal:
Whether an employee is doing a poor, adequate, or superior job: now it can encompass an organization’s performance in the marketplace, its contribution to environmental sustainability, and the value it places on employees.
The work environment that Indra Nooyi, chairman and CEO of PepsiCo, has created through the Performance with Purpose program is a model of sustainability for others to follow.
Along with the components of human sustainability—offering consumers healthier choices—and environmental sustainability—driving initiatives to sustain the environment—PepsiCo’s talent sustainability aims to have “the right people in the right place at the right time, doing the right work, the right way.”
“The goal at PepsiCo is to operate as a good company, financially successful and ‘societally’ responsible,” Nooyi says in the At C Level article “Doing Good While Doing Well” on page 32. “After we attract the best, we focus on providing associates with the training, tools, and opportunities for their professional growth and development.”
Our discussion will focus on a number of articles found in the June issue of the ASTD Training and Development Journal. Please bring any other resources you may have related to this topic. Our goal is to share and to grow.
