Employment Equity

We are committed to successfully implementing employment equity and support the Sanlam Group's employment equity initiatives.

We strive to be free of all forms of unfair discrimination, to provide equal opportunities for all and to optimise diversity to enhance productivity.

We believe that each individual has the right to dignity, respect and the realisation of their potential.

Employment Equity Forum

This forum, comprising eight staff members elected by their colleagues, is tasked with supporting and addressing our business- and human resources strategy. Their initiative is to support the HR function to attract and retain a competent, diverse workforce and to ensure compliance with the Employment Equity Act. Members of the forum support Glacier in the quest to become a truly South African company and to achieve our strategic business objectives.

We also implement a broad-based black economic empowerment (BBBEE) policy. We have aligned ourselves with the DTI Codes of Good Practice (Guidelines on employment equity) and focus on setting targets for representation at board-, senior- and junior management levels, as well as skills development, ownership and procurement.
