FY17 HIGHLIGHTS
In alignment with the SDG strategy and the mission of
The B Team - Africa
, we
launched the
100% Human at Work
programme during the year. The programme
is an expression of The B Team belief that it is time for businesses to stop looking at
people as ‘resources’ and to start looking at them as ‘human beings’. It represents
a move away from focusing solely on maximising profits and profitability to how
we can help our people reach their highest potential and purpose, which will
naturally have a positive impact on the bottom line.
Through
100% Human at Work
we are aiming to create a work environment that
celebrates diversity and inclusion, enables talent and career growth, promotes
employee wellbeing, as well as providing equal status, rights and opportunities to
all employees in the Safaricom ecosystem. We believe that work should have a
purpose and that workplaces should be places of belonging that facilitate human
interaction, collaboration and creativity.
The programme seeks to introduce a 100% Human culture in the workplace using
five key values: equality, respect, growth, belonging and purpose. During the
year, a series of training sessions were held to raise awareness of the programme.
An initial area of focus was our ‘invisible workers’ — security, cleaning and
hospitality stewards and all in-house contracted staff — and we celebrated them
visibly on Christmas and Valentine’s Day by hosting and sharing gifts with them
under the banner of ‘#Homeiswheretheheartis’. We also invested in medical
cover for them and streamlined their basic salaries to support this. We increased
compassionate leave to help support staff grieving for lost loved ones as well. We
are extremely excited and passionate about this initiative and its tag line ‘happy
place to work’ because the business is taking care of the people who take care
of it.
