Our human capital is the people we employ who possess mixed skills, qualifications, knowledge and experience to ensure “Excellence” performance of Rand Water. For the past 120 years, Rand Water has been delivering on its mandate of supplying water to millions of South Africans, and this was made possible by our employees, who are committed to serving. We value their effort in ensuring Rand Water achieves its vision of being provider of sustainable, universally competitive water and sanitation solutions. Rand Water, as a highly competitive organisation with an objective of achieving a high-performance culture, is continuously looking at ways to effectively manage its strategic capital, which is its people (employees). Our greatest assets, our people, are at the center of everything because they can improve the organisation’s performance and productivity when they are capable, competent, and well managed. We are ensuring that our employees are fully trained and competent to be able to improve their performance and add value to the bottom line.
