Johannesburg, South Africa//-MTN Group has unveiled its new Employee Value Proposition (EVP) entitled “Live Inspired” to drive agility, flexibility and future fit skills for its workforce.
This follows lessons of the challenges brought about by COVID-19. The Group has therefore adopted a refreshed, organisation-wide approach, which involves a move away from older, conventional ways of working and into the ‘new normal’ with confidence and optimism.
“For us, it’s really about the power of choice having recognised that our staff values are motivated by choices and flexibility. It is for this reason that our EVP is designed to cater to the various personas and preferences that helps people realize their true potential,” Paul Norman, MTN Group Chief Human Resources Officer said.
MTN has entrenched smart-working through principles such as anytime work, anywhere workplace and balanced work-life. Our programmes capitalize on the organic movement towards a digital-adopter mindset and flexi-workforce, according to him.
“As technology moves forward and our business converges, we need to do the same with our capabilities. Having the best talent is as important as having the best network,” Mr Norman added.
Talent convergence in line with the rapid pace of technological change is the way of the future, driving digital learning consumption growth indicating a natural shift towards upskilling and re-skilling.
MTN’s digital aspiration is geared towards accelerating the creation of future capabilities, empowerment and agility at scale.
“The EVP will support our reputation for innovation, customer-centricity and being a company that is driven by people who bring personal commitment and a range of skills and experience together for the benefit of our customers,” Mr Norman said.
He noted that real growth is inspired by a purpose that advances individuals and impacts on organisations and communities.
“We aim to enable opportunities for individuals to be innovative, acquire skills and meaningfully impact on our customers”.
Mr Norman assured that MTN’s focus would be to create an inspiring environment for everyone to ‘activate one’s whole self’. This according to him would be powered by genuine inclusion, respect for diversity, fair rewards, true recognition and personal flexibility to contribute most productively.
