Being An Employer Of Choice
Our people are our crucial enablers – the driving force behind the NLC’s vision and mission. Only through their knowledge, skills and dedication will we meet our objective of becoming a global, innovative leader in regulating safe and sustainable lotteries and sports pools. Ensuring we attract and retain the best people through a strong employer brand is therefore critical to our success.
Moreover, at our core, the NLC is a learning organisation. We seek out best practices, proactively find ways to engage and learn from one another and take internal and external feedback to heart – earnestly desiring to develop our organisational capabilities over time. As such, we have again decided to participate in the Top Employer South Africa certification. Having benefitted from the process in 2021, we recognise that this benchmark information provides our organisation with valuable feedback that guides our benchmarking and improvement.
THE PROCESS
To become recognised as a Top Employer, we were evaluated according to entry criteria, and thereafter, once approved, the organisation engaged in an HR Best Practices Survey. As part of the process, the NLC’s human resource performance was benchmarked, and, through interactive feedback sessions and insightful reports, these insights are integrated into our forward-looking practices.
“In our research, we were glad to see that Top
Employers put their employees first from the outset of
the global health crisis. They responded and adapted
quickly to the ever-changing situation.” –
David Plink, CEO of Top
Employers Institute.
THE OUTCOME
During the year, the NLC was again accredited as a Top Employer by the Top Employer Institute, with an overall score of 81.95%.
