Key question: How do we create a working environment where employees are motivated and empowered to deliver their full potential? NBL was ranked overall 5th place in the large corporate organisations as best place to work for in Africa. In keeping with the new Breakthrough Strategy, we consider our employees to be the single most important component of our success.
If we are to drive our business to its maximum potential, we need to ensure that we build a work environment that they feel is Creating a Future, Enhancing Life. We provide a great employment experience to attract and retain the optimal talent for our needs. In this way, we deliver the results that build a sustainable business while employees find meaning in their roles.
We look after the physical, mental and financial well-being of our employees. This was a particular focus during COVID the health and safety of our employees was an absolute priority.
We are further applying breakthrough thinking to ensure we retain jobs, sustain remuneration levels and invest to reinvent NBL for a post-COVID world. Our strategy includes the deliverable: Leading Genius. These can be applied in combination with those of their colleagues to foster a breakthrough high-performance environment that sees Everyone operating in Genius, having fun, bringing out the best versions of themselves.
We drive awareness campaigns on policies and procedures to promote a sound employment relationship and good behaviour. To create a gender-fair workplace, we set annual targets as part of our three-year affirmative action plan. This addresses fair and equitable recruitment that balances gender across the divisions. We offer a fully paid maternity leave benefit for employees to provide mothers with more financial security.
