Tiger Brands recognised as Top Employer in South Africa
Tiger Brands is proud to be shaping itself into a future-ready workplace where employees are encouraged to thrive, grow, innovate, and bring their best to everything they do.
SOUTH AFRICA – Tiger Brands has been recognized as a Top Employer in South Africa for the tenth consecutive year. This accolade highlights the company’s passionate and dedicated focus on its employees, who are considered the heartbeat of Tiger.
The company celebrates this milestone as evidence of the impact of its intentional actions aimed at inspiring possibility, nurturing a winning culture, enhancing the employee experience, developing people-centric leaders, and building a diverse talent pool to support effective business strategy execution.
In 2020, during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, Tiger Brands took the opportunity to further refine its people strategy.
The company focused on strengthening employee engagement and culture, developing agile cross-functional teams to drive innovation, diversity, and inclusion, and promoting employee wellbeing.
This strategy also enabled employees to adapt to new hybrid working models in response to the changes brought about by the pandemic.
Through its THRIVE employee wellbeing program, the company launched an onsite COVID-19 vaccination and support initiative at over 40 locations.
“The heartbeat of Tiger Brands is undoubtedly our people. It is a great honor to receive this recognition as we celebrate 100 years of delivering leading food, personal, and home-care brands to homes across South Africa and beyond,” said S’ne Magagula, the then Chief HR Officer at Tiger Brands.
Magagura also reiterated that this acknowledgment serves as a reminder that they would not have become the successful company they are today if they had not prioritized creating a great workplace where their employees can grow, thrive, and innovate
