G4S one of top employers in Africa

G4S Africa has achieved the Top Employers Africa 2017 certification, the only private security company in Africa that has ever been awarded Top Employer certification. This is a remarkable achievement, particularly as the company has been awarded nine certifications in 2013, 11 certifications in 2014 and 2015, 13 certifications in 2016 and now again in 2017. Independent research by the Top Employers Institute shows the company looks after its people exceptionally well, offering employees an engaging and safe working environment where their contributions are valued.

The annual international research undertaken by the Top Employers Institute recognises leading employers around the world: those that provide excellent employee conditions, nurture and develop talent throughout all levels of the organisation, and which strive to continuously optimise employment practices. G4S Africa is one of the select companies to achieve the exclusive Top Employers Africa 2017 certification.

The Institute has just announced the overall results of this year’s research into the employee conditions of significant employers in the region. Only organisations that achieve certification in at least four countries within the region deserve the special Top Employers Africa 2017 recognition. G4S has been certified in 13 countries, including Botswana, Cameroon, Côte d’Ivoire, DRC, Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Morocco, Mozambique, Namibia, Nigeria, South Africa and Zambia.

Crucial to the Top Employers process is that participating companies must meet the required high standard in the research in order to achieve the certification. The Top Employers Institute assessed G4S’s people practices on the following criteria: Talent Strategy, Workforce Planning, On-boarding, Learning & Development, Performance Management, Leadership Development, Career & Succession Management, Compensation & Benefits and Culture.
