Unilever has been certified as the Top Employer in Africa for the third time in a row. The company’s top employer status in Africa was solidified when company was certified in Zimbabwe for the first time and achieved No.1 status in Ghana, Nigeria and Kenya.

The organisation was also added as the No. 1 FMCG in South Africa and No. 1 Manufacturing in South Africa certifications to their belt.

Commenting on the award, Unilever Vice President, Human Resources, Mechell Chetty, said: “At Unilever we work hard to combine our global experience with our deep Africa roots to develop local talent so we are delighted to see our efforts recognized by the internationally renowned Top Employers as a truly independent and verifiable measure of industry best practice in HR

Chetty revealed that Unilever’s secret to success is the fact that the company consistently aims to empower its employees to be able to make a direct impact on the business. “If you want to be part of a team driving innovation, change and growth at one of the most dynamic and exciting periods in African business then Unilever is the place to be.

“I believe that this achievement reinforces that we are on the right track. We are extremely proud that this independent research has once again verified our outstanding employee conditions and earned Unilever Africa a coveted spot among a choice group of certified Top Employers,” she concludes.

While speaking, Regional Director Africa for the Top Employers Institute, Samantha Crous said, “Our extensive research concluded that Unilever Africa forms part of a select group of employers that advance employee conditions worldwide. Their people are well taken care of.

“Now that they have received the Top Employers Africa 2016/17 certification, they can truly consider themselves at the top of an exclusive group of the world’s best employers – a remarkable feat to celebrate!”

The annual international research and audit undertaken by the Top Employers Institute recognises leading employers around the world that provide excellent employee conditions, nurture and develop talent throughout all levels of the organisation, and which strive to continuously optimise employment practices.
