What to Expect:

The HR Development Program?s Mission is to create a deep pipeline of high performing Human Resources Business Partners with the capacity to develop into future leaders. HRDPs will provide HR Business Partner support to salaried and/or hourly employees through effective delivery of HR practices, leadership, and communication. Nestlé?s 24-month HR Development Program will include two rotations, providing you with exposure to both corporate headquarter and field based environments. Your first rotation will span 6 months and will be based at one of our U.S. Headquarter locations. Your second rotation will span 18 months and will be located in one of one of our factory, distribution center, or field sales locations.

Throughout the HR Development Program, you will operate as a true HR Business Partner. As an HRDP, you will apply your HR skills to solve real world business problems and will make a vital impact on the businesses that produce and distribute some of the most iconic products on earth.  You will drive a number of key HR practices including employee development, employee relations/labor relations, policy/contract interpretation, compensation administration, recruitment, and legal compliance. While our HRDPs are given a significant amount of responsibility, they are also armed with a dynamic support system. These support resources include highly capable direct report managers, a Senior HR mentor, and a peer ambassador. This 24-month program incorporates structured rotational learning experiences that will provide you with a robust, diversified skillset upon program graduation.
