Jan 27, 2021 Wesbank, Top Employer certification, Chris de Kock
WesBank awarded SA’s Top Employer certification for 4th year
The past year has been a true test of working differently for many businesses, as the global Coronavirus pandemic forced the country into various levels of lockdown for most of 2020. One such company that had to adapt quickly to the new circumstances was WesBank.
As the leader in the vehicle asset financing market, it was imperative to remain operational and accessible to its customers and stakeholders, whilst ensuring that its employees were able to work remotely and function seamlessly every day.
The Top Employers Institute® has acknowledged WesBank’s excellence in human resource practices by awarding it the Top Employers South Africa certification for 2021, making it four years in a row for the company.
To be considered for this award, WesBank’s Human Resources practices and policies were subjected to a comprehensive external audit by the Top Employers Institute. The Top Employer Institute recognises companies for their outstanding people policies through their Human Resources best practice survey, which covers multiple topics expanding over 600 practices. The audit covers the areas of talent management, learning and development, leadership development, performance management, career and succession management, onboarding of new employees, compensation and benefits, culture (including innovation, CSI, communication, engagement), transformation and ethics and integrity. WesBank also received a detailed analysis of its Human Resources practices, as well as ideas of how to enhance these further.
“To qualify and be awarded the Top Employers South Africa 2021 certification for the fourth year in a row, especially under the unusual working conditions in which we currently find ourselves, is a great honour for us as a company. The pandemic enabled us to bring forward our vision of functioning differently but effectively, whilst allowing our people to work from home – but to still feel connected and an integral part of the larger WesBank team,” says Chris de Kock, WesBank CEO.
“To have our innovative ideas and initiatives being recognised in this manner motivates us to do even better in the coming years to follow. We continually strive to ensure that we create a positive environment where all our employees can grow, learn and develop within the organisation, irrespective of the changing circumstances,” concludes de Kock.
