This week our colleagues in Copenhagen are hosting their annual Nordic Talent Hunt Case Competition. The Talent Hunt is a case competition for students across the Nordics and offers a real-life experience of the challenges of working in a business like ours. It is a unique opportunity for students to influence one of the biggest FMCG companies in the world and to get their ideas evaluated by the top management of British American Tobacco Nordic. Have a look at this video from the last Talent Hunt and wish the contestants good luck!
Masters students from the Fresenius University recently visited our BAT Germany office in Hamburg for a lively and engaging round-table discussion about today’s challenges in HR and Marketing with our internal experts. Many topics came up such as how BAT deals with changes caused by state regulations and how we manage to be perceived as a top employer. It certainly was an active and interesting discussion with lots of industry insights. Would you like to know more about BAT Germany? Head on over to http://glassdoor.com/slink.htm?key=vI1Yi…
At BAT Vietnam, CSR Day has become a tradition of getting involved in the local community. In fact, the BAT Global Guideline encourages that employees dedicate two working days each year to volunteering. 14 members of BAT Vietnam (aided by Head of Marketing, Scott Kirkham, and Head of HR, Dao Le Duyen) volunteered for the “Eatery of Smiles”, serving lunches to those in need from the surrounding areas. The team also handed out small gift sets including candies, sugar, washing powder and soap. By the end of the day they had served 884 lunch sets and made over 600 diners happy.

BAT Romania, with the support of a group of enthusiastic employees, organised a charity event and succeeded in bringing a smile to the lives of some people in need. With the volunteers’ support, our new friends from “Our Lady of Mercy” Charity enjoyed a wonderful picnic day at Mogoșoaia Palace in Romania. For one day, all of the attention and care was for them only. It was about showing appreciation, about giving a helping hand to those who needed most. Now, we are looking forward to making more of this possible. Thank you to our colleagues who volunteered and acted as one big team.
Head of Insights for Strategic Science and Technology, Kevin Blick, recently swam his way to a Guinness World Record!

Having completed the 21-mile crossing between the UK and France on three separate occasions by himself, Kevin looked to the next seemingly-impossible feat.
