Our 2023 Zone Talent Induction brought all APAC talent program participants together to the Putian Brewery to learn about the strategic directions of Bud APAC. 80 new talents across five APAC talent programs were invited. It was a full week of training for the new talent program joiners to understand our strategies:
• Lead and Grow the Category,
• Digitize & Monetize our Ecosystem, and
• Optimize our Business.
The joiners also had opportunities to visit the brewery, take part in a sports competition, market visits and a beer festival. Overall, we created a memorable experience for the new joiners to kick-start the career at Bud APAC.
