How are individuals performing ?
Our business is built around great people who see and do things differently.
Developing our talent and building a strong pipeline of leaders is crucial in
achieving our growth ambitions and delivering on Our Passion. Our
Leadership Standards set out the leadership attributes and behaviours we
see as key in developing a performance-driven organisation. We measure
success by the inclusivity and diversity of our workforce, the strength of our
leadership pipeline, the skills and capabilities of our people in all functional
areas, and the healthy relationships maintained with our people and the
labour organisations that represent them.
DELIVERING ON OUR STRATEGY IN 2019
We continued to progress towards improving diversity and inclusion in the
organisation:
-Employment Equity candidates made up 80% of external hires at executive
level and 67% of senior internal promotions in 2019.
We conducted a Diversity and Inclusion study amongst employees to
identify obstacles to, and opportunities for, creating an inclusive culture at
RCL FOODS. Design of an engagement process has been initlated to address
areas of concern.
