Employees are at the heart of our business and are the key driver of its success. We therefore need to work hard to ensure that we can attract, develop and retain the best people. We do this by creating an environment where they feel supported, but also challenged to reach their full potential.

Specific policies for employment vary according to the local regulations in the different countries where we operate. However, there are a number of core principles that inform our relations with employees wherever we are located:

  • Employee inclusion: recruit and reward employees fairly and according to merit: We recruit, retain, train and promote employees on the basis of their suitability for the job, and for no other reason. This principle is balanced against the need to ensure that we are contributing to employment equity and transformation in the unique context of our South African operations.
  • Invest in employee development: We work with our employees to make sure they get the training and feedback they need to develop personally and to allow the Group to meet its business objectives.
  • Provide opportunities for dialogue with employees: We encourage an ongoing dialogue with employees to communicate about issues that concern them and the positive outcomes that they want to share.
  • Providing a safe and healthy work environment: We ensure that all our working environments meet our health and safety standards to allow employees to focus on working to the best of their ability.
  • Safeguard employee rights: Our policies with employees ensure that their rights to equal opportunities, freedom of association and collective bargaining are respected, in line with the regulations of the places where we operate.
  • Embrace and encourage diversity: We ensure that we embrace and encourage the diversity that exists amongst our employees while respecting each individuality
  • Fair reward: Our remuneration policy is designed to reward employee efforts and reflects the performance of the business in which they work.
