Responsible employer
We are a company that puts fair, ethical and safe working practices at the heart of our business. We are committed to ensuring that Anglo careers are not constrained by unfair discrimination or other arbitrary barriers to advancement. Our business principles outline our commitment to all our stakeholders, including employees.
Recruitment and selection
We want to be the employer of choice and have the best people working for us. Our recruitment and selection processes are fair and equitable and we comply with all applicable laws and regulations in the countries in which we operate.
Reward and retention
Our rewards are closely aligned to performance at all levels of our organisation. We regularly review our incentive programmes and measure them against external benchmarks.
Safe and healthy working
Being an Anglo American employee means being treated with care and respect. We want every one of the people who work for us – and with us – to go home safely to their families at the end of the working day, which is why creating a safe and healthy working environment is our number one priority.
Developing our people
We believe in giving people the chance to develop their skills and capabilities, and test themselves with new opportunities. We invest in training and development for employees at all levels of the organisation. Our different businesses also offer a range of work experience, internship, apprentice and graduate trainee opportunities.
Expanding the talent pool
Anglo American cherishes diversity in its working population. We aim to employ people from local communities and countries where we operate. Our workforce is becoming more representative with a focus on employing more women and, in South Africa, historically disadvantaged South Africans, especially at senior and management levels.
