COCA-COLA Peninsula Beverages (CCPB) has been recognised for the 15th year in a row as a Top Employer.
The accolade acknowledges companies who have demonstrated their approach to people strategy, work environment, talent acquisition, learning, well-being, diversity and inclusion.
“Our people are the heart of what we do every day, and we simply cannot be a successful company if we don’t look after their wellbeing. Our ethos of ‘People are number one’ has guided us in protecting the best interests of our team and putting systems in place to help them grow and thrive,” says Bryn Morse, culture and people development director at CCPB.
All team members at CCPB, he adds, are seen as leaders and are treated as such.
“Our people are leaders of themselves or of others and we try to empower them with the skills they need to be the most impactful leaders they can be. We believe they have the power to lead their own personal development, and we show them how to take ownership of that journey by putting a focus on continuous improvement which is one of our core values.”
Morse explains that another metric that speaks to the company’s consistent focus on their team members is the number of employees who have been with CCPB for extended periods of time.
“We want to maintain an environment in which our team members can reach their full potential and winning Top Employer for the 15th time shows that we are still fulfilling this aspiration,” says Morse.
“Our values and purpose are the main factors that drive a working culture of professional satisfaction and development at CCPB. Our team members are mobilised and feel united when we grow them and engage with them. We are ultimately able to help our team members feel valued and motivated across the company no matter what their role might be.”
CCPB’s certification as Top Employer in the Food and Beverage category was announced recently by the Top Employers Institute, the global authority on recognising excellence in people practices.
CCPB is the local bottler and distributor of The Coca-Cola Company in the Western and Northern Cape. Products and brands include Coca-Cola, Sprite, Fanta, Stoney, Appletiser, Powerade, Bonaqua, PowerPlay and Monster Energy amongst others.
