Henkel Response
1wThank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are truly sorry to hear that you felt disappointed by the outcomes during a period of business transformation.
At Henkel, we strive to treat all employees with respect, transparency, and fairness, particularly during times when evolving business needs require organizational adjustments and role transitions. To support transparency, employees have access to an internal career path overview, which provides visibility of role requirements across different career levels, from junior roles to people leadership and expert career paths. Each internal application is assessed against the requirements of the specific role, including mandatory criteria, relevant skills, experience, and business needs. This transparent process helps ensure fairness and consistency for all candidates.
We understand that such situations can create uncertainty and that individual experiences may differ depending on personal circumstances and the opportunities available at a given time.
Internal mobility remains an important part of our talent strategy, and we continuously encourage employees to explore career opportunities across the organization. While we aim to support internal career moves wherever possible, decisions are influenced by a combination of role requirements, business needs, and the overall selection process.
We recognize that unsuccessful applications can be frustrating, especially during periods of organizational adjustment.
We take comments regarding communication, management practices, and employee experience seriously, as they help us identify areas where we can improve.
We appreciate your contributions during your time at Henkel and wish you every success in your future career.
