To achieve the Top Employer Certification, organisations are researched and audited on:
- Primary benefits,
- Secondary benefits,
- Working conditions,
- Training and development,
- Career development, and
- Culture management.
This year, there was an overall increase in certified participants' scores in the six research dimensions. This indicates that HR in the country’s top employers is a firm strategic business lever.
“There is a shortage of professional talent in the country, which means more and more, companies are focusing on the competitiveness of their employer value propositions (EVP) to attract and retain good people,” says Samantha Crous, regional director: Top Employers Institute Africa and Benelux.
Antoinette Irvine, vice president of HR at Unilever, said the following after the company’s victory: “We are delighted at having earned this year’s top HR accolade as the top employer in South Africa, a certification that will continue to inspire us to attract, produce and retain the finest talent SA has to offer.”
