A Company Built on the Power of All
100-year-old organization Wella had to find a way to re-launch their business—a brand new start.
When Coty's Professional Beauty Business Unit was set up as an independent company under the Wella brand, the leadership team took the opportunity to build the company they wanted from the ground up.
Re-Defining Brand Culture
With the support of culture and DE&I specialists at Korn Ferry, Wella spent time defining what a brilliant team and culture looked like and what it meant to be more than—to attract the best, the brightest and the most diverse workforce. One that could set the new company up for the greatest success and serve as the ideal foundation on which to evolve its brand.
Korn Ferry led the recruitment of over 300 new hires across 18 countries in under six months, attracting global top talent and creating a business with a culture of inclusion and empowerment.
“In our company's first year, our team has much to be proud of. We achieved independent status at a difficult time for the beauty industry… We are poised for growth across the globe."
Annie Young-Scrivner, CEO of Wella Company
A recent recruit sums up their experience working within this company today: "Wella is full of passionate people. There is a positive company culture which is supportive towards employees and diversity is very much valued."
A company rarely gets the opportunity to build a dream team from scratch, but the results speak for themselves.
