UNILEVER CERTIFIED AS AFRICA’S TOP EMPLOYER

Leading international FMCG company Unilever has been certified as the number one Top Employer in Africa for the fourth time. The prestigious accolade was announced at the Top Employer Institute award ceremony held at the Sandton Convention Centre in Johannesburg, South Africa.

Unilever has also been certified the number one Top Employer in Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya and Zimbabwe. Unilever Vice President of Human Resources in Africa, Mechell Chetty, said the Top Employer Africa Certification for Unilever affirmed the company’s ability to deliver a world class employment experience consistently across the continent. “The Top Employer brand signals to talent that we are committed to staff development and helping our employees reach their personal ambitions. The certification also provides us with important feedback about how we can improve our HR practices.”

The countries were ranked in an extremely competitive HR best practices survey conducted by the Top Employers Institute. Criteria examined included Talent Strategy, On-boarding, Learning and Development, Performance Management, Career and Succession Management, and Leadership Development, Compensation & Benefits and Culture.

One of these initiatives is the Unilever Future Leaders Programme, which each year receives thousands of applications from graduates. The programme is designed to develop business leaders of tomorrow and provides on-the-job training, exposure to best in class thought leaders, international experiences, collaborative projects and practical experience in bringing Unilever’s sustainability agenda to life.

On her part, the Human Resources Director, Unilever Ghana Nigeria, Eniola Onimole, said that Unilever invests in its people through initiatives that contributes to their success in the organisation. “These initiatives include international careers exposure, mentorship programmes, flexible working patterns, graduate recruitment programme and a world class leadership development curriculum.”

Given the high unemployment rate in Africa, Unilever Africa’s HR purpose is to address youth unemployment through their Level up Programme. The programme is designed to prepare youth for the world of work. “To date Unilever Africa has reached over 80 000 youth across the continent through face to face connects and digital platforms delivering nine relevant impactful modules. We will not stop there, our ambition is to reach one million youth across the continent” said Chetty. Technology-enabled learning has allowed Unilever to enhance flexible learning to suit different learning styles, learning on the go, anywhere and anytime. “We have an online platform which provides learning courses, podcasts, videos, articles tailored to the employee’s individual’s needs,” concluded Chetty.

By being able to leverage global best practices, combined with expertise and understanding of Africa, Unilever has been able to continuously create an environment that allows people to thrive and perform with purpose.

Hmmm!

Na wa o

Atiku alone has employed more than 50k in Nigeria alone, as claimed.
Politicians and lies are like lighter and weed.

Una try oh

Ok. I hope they have improved on their graduate recruiting process. Not just limiting it to multi interview phases and a final interview that is about 12 hours without supporting the shortlisted candidates with transport fare throughout the process. My perception after going through their interview process to the final stage saw me stop using any of their products, I realized I stopped using any of their products and traced it to the not so satisfactory final interview experience.

Cool

You disagree because you work with these companies or you know people who work with them? You should back your statements with FACTs.

Nigerians populace are very gullible and Nigerian politicians know how to lie very well. I once worked with a multinational company here who has like 3000 workers in it's yard and I know what it looks like to have 1000 employees. The so called company still has less than 100000 employees worldwide and Atiku is claiming 50000 employees in Nigeria. It is nothing but a big fat lie.

My former employer. Una well done o

The best people to work with in this world are the dutch, so generous, nice, humble and intellegent.
Not suprised it unilever again this year. And they will be leading in more years to come.

Nice work!

If the number of staff, then a figure should be quoted with details of runnerup.
I think it's best employer and not highest.
