MAKING ADvTECH A GREAT PLACE TO WORK EMPLOYEES Our 7 549 (2017: 6 743) employees are the backbone of our operations and core to our long-term sustainability. Owing to the nature of our business, we also employ many independent contractors such as lecturers and sports coaches. Our people are our greatest asset; they are key to the success of our business and add value to the lives of thousands of students, parents, job candidates and clients. We take pride in our highly skilled workforce. Our development programmes, which fall under our ADvTALENT initiatives, are continually reviewed and refined, ensuring that our people are given the means to provide quality service at all times. We continually identify and develop key employees and high potential individuals within the ADvTECH group. Our ability to attract and retain skills is influenced by our structured approach to talent management. Identified employees participate in our structured management and leadership development programmes and we actively encourage further academic study. All these interventions, in turn, support the business and its performance. SKILLS DEVELOPMENT Attract + Provide necessary development Retain = Create a high performance culture Best employees Leadership development At ADvTECH we believe in developing our leaders so that they are equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge to perform at their peak. We focus on building their confidence to ensure that they can lead and develop high-performing teams. We have created purposeful learning solutions that are linked to our business strategic goals and to the personal development plans of our leaders. Management toolkit programme The management toolkit programme is designed specifically for onboarding our managers and aims to improve their time management and competence in their new role. We want to ensure that our new leaders are equipped with the skills to be personally effective and can manage talent, as well as engage their people to get things done at the highest level. We ensure that they will become strategic thinkers who can execute in line with the business imperatives which seek to keep the customer at the core of what we do. Management Development Programme (MDP) The MDP stretches the abilities of talented leaders. We aim to close the gap between the talent we have and the talent we want to develop to implement our strategic goals in a systematic way. The MDP workshops are fundamental building blocks to expanding the commercial and strategic mindset of our leaders. The programme includes a work-based project that is linked to the MDP candidate’s performance goals. Candidates will have an opportunity to showcase their talent to our executives as part of their assessment process through the programme. Leadership development masterclasses Our leadership development masterclasses focus on growing our leadership competencies throughout our business. Our best-ofbreed blended solutions are relevant to the challenges our leaders face as our business grows and evolves. We give them skills that keep them agile in a dynamic environment. Principal Development Programme (PDP) The PDP launched in 2018 is our flagship programme for leaders in the teaching fraternity. It is aimed at both principals and deputy principals. The role of our principal is not only to ensure that a school or campus runs smoothly, but he/she must be able to execute on the commercial requirements of sustaining a school operation. Our programme ensures that our principals are able to identify and understand the financial levers that drive ADvTECH’s business to maximise revenue and return on investment. We also develop our principals’ ability to engage, inspire and lead a vast array of stakeholders including their own teams. Mentorship programme Our structured Mentorship programme supports our entire management and leadership development philosophy and helps ensure that our people are equipped and supported in achieving their career goals. Although the minimum requirement for mentor/mentee pairs is that they meet for at least an hour each month, we are proud of the fact that our people spend more than the required amount of time together, working on ways to best support our mentees’ career goals. 20 | ADvTECH INDUCTION TOOLKIT
