The Top Employers Institute assessed Dimension Data’s employee offerings on the following criteria: talent strategy; workforce planning; on-boarding; learning and development; performance management; leadership and development; career and succession management; compensation and benefits; and culture and diversity.
Samantha Crous, regional director South Africa and Benelux for the Top Employers Institute, says: “Optimal employee conditions ensure that people can develop themselves personally and professionally. Our comprehensive research concluded that Dimension Data provides an outstanding employment environment and offers a wide range of creative initiatives, from secondary benefits and working conditions, to performance-management programmes that are well thought out and truly aligned with the culture of their company.”
Linda Fine, human resources executive for Dimension Data MEA, says: “We are delighted that our work to create a professional and supportive work environment has been recognised. At Dimension Data, our business might be seen to ICT but at the core it’s actually all about people and how they can translate business value to our clients through the use of technology.
“Our people are our differentiator, especially as our clients businesses transform to support new ways of consuming technology and as we as a business move to a services-led business model.”
