MTN Group has unveiled its new Employee Value Proposition (EVP) entitled “Live Inspired” to drive agility, flexibility, and future-fit skills for its workforce.
Learning the lessons of the challenges brought about by COVID-19, MTN has 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,” says Paul Norman, MTN Group Chief Human Resources Officer.
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.
“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,” Norman adds.
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 aspirations 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,” says Norman.
He says 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 our customers.
MTN’s focus will be to create an inspiring environment for everyone to ‘activate one’s whole self’. This will be powered by genuine inclusion, respect for diversity, fair rewards, true recognition, and personal flexibility to contribute most productively.
