Working at PBG
PBG would not be the industry leader that it is without the energy, commitment and diverse strengths of its 70,000 employees around the world. And to continue attracting and developing the talent it needs to sustain success, the company helps its people attain both their career and personal goals.
Proof that this holistic approach is working can be observed in the average number of years that many employees stay with PBG. It is not uncommon for the company to celebrate several 20-year anniversaries in one day. “Someone may start at PBG for a job but they stay for a career,” says John Berisford, Senior Vice President of Human Resources and Chief Personnel Officer.
Upon joining PBG, employees become familiar with the company’s Code of Conduct that explains certain “non-negotiables.” More than a document about compliance, the Code serves to reinforce PBG’s values as well as its expectations that all employees will be treated– and will treat each other–ethically and respectfully.
Among the specific issues covered are equal employment opportunity, the prohibition of sexual harassment, and alignment with the United Nations International Labor Organization’s core priorities for human rights in the workplace with respect to freedom of association, the elimination of all forms of forced or compulsory labor, the elimination of discrimination and the effective abolition of child labor. “PBG believes in the power of individuals to do great things,” says Berisford. “We want our people to come to work feeling like they can be themselves and use their individual perspectives to be endlessly creative in developing business solutions. For PBG, that’s the route to sustainable business success.”
