A few years back, we started a massive business transformation to become the global integrator of container logis-tics, and with that followed a cultural and organisational transformation - one where collaboration, customer cen-tricity and agility are at the core, and where we are building new capabilities at scale. This poses exciting and devel-oping challenges for all of us, and HR has a significant role to play in enabling our business strategy and transfor-mation.

In the Global Centre of Excellence (COE) for Talent Management and Talent Acquisition, we are responsible for de-veloping the Global Standards, Strategies, Concepts and Programmes related to attracting and recruiting newtalents across the enterprise – from early career to exec levels.
