One of SABMiller’s five values is that our people are our enduring advantage and our aim is therefore to be a global and local employer of choice. We have a strong culture of performance management and employees at every level are empowered and accountable for achieving clear goals. In this they are supported with world-class training and development. Being a learning and self-refreshing organisation is one of the priorities for the business.
In pursuit of this learning culture, we have developed a Global Action Learning programme involving the leadership team which consulted with over 300 organisations and stakeholders in a six-week programme. This programme is designed to hone the strategic and leadership skills of senior managers.
The SABMiller ‘Ways’, a set of tools, common terminologies and processes developed centrally but applied locally, are intended to deliver a consistent approach to manage and integrate core disciplines. They will provide a platform for exchange of knowledge which will result in rapid and ongoing improvement of performance.
Each company has employment policies which are appropriate to its business and markets and which attract, retain and motivate quality employees.
In the last year we employed an average of 69,116 people.
