Our people
In our day-to-day interactions we treat each
other fairly and respectfully. Everybody has
equal access to opportunities and resources,
and everyone is encouraged to contribute to
MultiChoice’s success.
We drive a culture of high performance while
challenging and empowering each other to
consistently deliver excellence. Our diversity,
collaboration and teamwork bring out the best
in us in an informal, dynamic, passionate and
entrepreneurial environment.
We focus on attracting innovative and
motivated employees and developing their
full professional potential. We promote the
wellbeing of our employees by contributing to
initiatives that improve the quality of life for all.
Our employees are central to our business.
We provide great career opportunities in
a dynamic environment that offers growth
through international learning opportunities.
In addition, as part of the Naspers community,
our employees can explore international
development and career opportunities across
the group.
As at 31 March 2018 we had a total
workforce, including independent service
providers, of just over 7 200 (2017: 8 000)
people. Permanent and fixed-term employees
amount to 6 085. Employee numbers have
been impacted by the restructure and
rightsizing of our business (FutureFit). The
main objectives were to optimise group
performance, reduce costs and build
resilience. To mitigate the negative impacts
of the restructure, employees were provided
with counselling and career guidance and
assistance with finding other employment.
Diversity
We have an ingrained culture of celebrating
our individual differences and skills, and we
are committed to improving the lives of all
our employees. All employees are treated
equally and respectfully, and every effort is
made to support them in doing their jobs
effectively. This includes appropriate access
to information and technology.
