Start leaving your mark with us

P&G's edge over competition, the advantage that's hardest for competitors to duplicate, is P&G People. When we are inspired and at our best, when we are growing as individuals and collaborating as teams, and when we are leading as owners of our business, we are unstoppable. This level of inspired performance is crucial to the Company's ability to consistently sustain growth over time.

Having P&G people at their best is so important to us that we embarked on extensive research to understand what P&G people do when they're at their best. We looked at the characteristics that have historically driven P&G growth. We looked outside the company, as well - at external and business trends shaping the marketplace and at what other best-in-class companies do to stay in the lead. We distilled all that we learned into three basic ideas that describe the competitive advantage of P&G people:


 

  • The Power of P&G Minds : This is our ability, grounded in genuine respect for P&G competitors, to out-think, out-invent and out-play the best competitors over time for the benefit of consumers. This speaks to our collective intelligence, our ability to create for profit and competitive advantage and our ability to become masters of our business, organizations and professions.

  • The Power of P&G People : This is the competitive advantage that our people and people systems create when they work together. It's the power of one and value of all. This speaks to creating an environment that fully leverages our organizational talents, builds on our similarities, and knows, values and leverages our differences where they can be constructively applied to business problems or solutions.

  • The Power of P&G Agility : This is our ability to be fast, flexible, responsive and versatile in a complex and rapidly changing business environment. We create competitive advantage when we are tuned in to the world around us, when we truly understand our customers, consumers, stakeholders, competitors and employees, and when we apply this knowledge to build the business and the organization. This is about our ability to meet change head on and to be rigorous in our execution. This is how we transform ourselves quickly to win in the marketplace.

At the core of this model is our Purpose, our Values and our Principles. When most of us think about the PVP, we think first about integrity. This is what sets us apart from other companies and set the best P&G people apart as well. Our PVP is about more than not lying, stealing and cheating - it also speaks to the more subtle aspects of integrity - e.g., not working in an underhanded and subversive way - that really reflect a person's character. It also speaks to our ability to build trust by being open, honest, straightforward, and candid. We do what we say, and we say what we mean.

Combined, these characteristics are our Success Drivers, the competencies that define how our people succeed in today's business environment. They are the characteristics we look for in new employees, how we measure performance in the Company and the basis for our development and career systems.
