Reward Principles

We have an ethos and appreciation for the commitment, diligence, care and attention that goes into being a Sanlam employee. This is why we reward exceptional performance and recognise excellence because it is our way of showing our people the respect they deserve. Sanlam follows a total rewards approach comprising remuneration (which includes a cash salary as well as short- and long-term incentives), benefits, learning and development, as well as an attractive work environment.

Our reward philosophy is based on the following globally-benchmarked principles.

  • We pay for performance and special incentives are created for superior performers.
  • We offer competitive remuneration.
  • We are fair and consistent in our reward approach
