Building the Bonds (CONTINUED) DEVELOPING OUR PEOPLE SAB seeks to create the environment for all individuals and teams to develop their full potential for the benefit of themselves and the Group. Employee benefits In the past year, over 34,000 employees in the SAB Group took advantage of education and training opportunities offered by the Company, an investment in skills enhancement of some US$17 million (R97 million). The primary focus remained on upgrading management and technical skills, although the number of employees enrolling for adult basic education and training and life-skills courses increased significantly. • EMPLOYEE DEVELOPMENT ▪ SAB SEEKS TO CREATE AN ENVIRONMENT IN WHICH ALL INDIVIDUALS AND TEAMS MAY DEVELOP THEIR FULL POTENTIAL FOR THE BENEFIT OF THEMSELVES AND THE GROUP. Beer South Africa consolidated its “corporate university” approach to education, offering qualifying employees the best available opportunities at home and abroad. During the year, 36 in-house bursars progressed with studies for degrees at various universities. The Heriot-Watt University postgraduate course in brewing and malting entered its second year with seven employees. Ten employees are enrolled for the MSc at Brunel University’s postgraduate course in advanced packaging. Customised economic value added (EVA) and sales and distribution training programmes were run in conjunction with Insead University of Fontainebleau. TSOGO SUN ESTABLISHED A DEDICATED CASINO TRAINING SCHOOL, WHERE SKILLS AND DEVELOPMENT TRAINING ARE PROVIDED FOR EMPLOYEES. Each year, some eight executives are given the opportunity to attend an executive development programme at leading international business schools. During the year under review, Beer South Africa sent 1,991 delegates on 133 formal education programmes, and 19 delegates were enrolled in the Natal Technikon’s diploma in packaging management. Over 4,800 delegates received technical training, and 970 delegates are enrolled for adult basic education training. PAGE FOURTEEN
Training Institute During the year, 2,639 delegates attended 187 formal courses at Beer South Africa’s Training Institute. In total, the institute trained 6,170 delegates over 11,500 training days, covering 380 workshops or courses. Technology upgrades during the year amounting to US$700,000 (R4.2 million) will reinforce video conferencing and technical training workshops. The Training Institute has been appointed to the judging panel of the International Benchmark Forum, the world’s foremost judge of world-class training practices. Beer South Africa has designed and implemented a competency acquisition process (CAP), in line with the SA Quality Assurance Act, 1995 and Skills Development Bill, 1998. Australian accreditors, from the University of Technology in Sydney, rated 45 people to develop competency standards, 58 to develop workplace assessment documents, 373 as workplace assessors and 18 trainers as master trainers. Specialised training is a priority and Beer South Africa successfully established a Sales Academy at the Training Institute. Representatives now receive three weeks’ intensive training, preparing them for challenges in the marketplace and giving them the skills to deliver world-class service. The company’s intranet – BEERNet – includes a comprehensive human resource development course catalogue, highlighting the 132 training programmes offered. In addition, a learning resource guide on the intranet contains over 800 items, ranging from internal and external courses, key magazines, journals, reports and books, websites, videos, seminars and conferences. These initiatives make self-development far more accessible to employees. SKILLS DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMMES ACROSS THE GROUP ENABLE EMPLOYEES TO IMPROVE THEIR CAREER OPPORTUNITIES. Beer South Africa participates in the annual American Society for Training and Development’s Benchmarking Forum survey. The forum is limited to some 50 international companies, whose training function meets its criteria for functional excellence. Beer South Africa’s figures and training spend of 4.6 per cent of payroll compare very favourably with top international companies’ training statistics as reflected in the survey findings.
