Employment Equity

Sanlam Namibia's philosophy is to achieve equity in the workplace thereby fostering a productive and fair work environment. This is reflected in our organisational culture, which encourages understanding and appreciation of the diversity in background of all our employees.

In accordance with the requirements and aims of the Affirmative Action (Employment) Act, no. 29 of 1998, Sanlam Namibia ensures and promotes equal opportunity for all employees or people seeking employment, without unfairly discriminating against any such person or employee on the grounds of race, gender, mental or physical disability.

Sanlam Namibia, as a designated employer, undertakes specific measures to create equity in employment and to employ and develop designated employees in terms of:

• Recruitment and promotion
• Selection and placement of employees
• Training and development
• Remuneration practices
• Organisation culture
• Succession planning and mentorship

Sanlam Namibia is Affirmative Action compliant, as certified by the Equity Commission under the Affirmative Action (Employment) Act, 1998.

Sanlam Namibia takes cognisance of Namibia’s developmental backlog and that it will take the combined efforts of government, business and civil society to implement considered, focused and sustainable initiatives to improve the well-being of all sectors of society.

  With rising unemployment rates and a lack of industries, the challenge in Namibia is to develop and create a culture of entrepreneurship among our leaders of tomorrow – our youth.
• Health and Welfare Programme
  We are involved in a number of activities to fight serious diseases and to assist the disabled as well as other charity organisations.
• Sport Development
  We are committed to allocating available resources to sports initiatives that will positively influence the lives and aspirations of all Namibians. The main aim of our sport sponsorship is to unlock inherent sport potential and to unearth the hidden talent and stars in our country.
