STAFF ASSISTANCE

At Valumax, we are deeply committed to the well-being of our employees.

This is reflected through our comprehensive Staff Assistance Program, which has contributed more than R4 million over the past 5 years. Our programme encompasses various support measures designed to enhance the lives of our staff and their families.

A significant portion of our assistance is dedicated to bursary and school assistance for the children of single mothers and low-income earners. Over five years, we have provided R130 000 for disabled children and R1.2 million in bursaries for our staff’s children. These funds cover school fees, school clothes, transportation costs, and study materials, ensuring that education is accessible and affordable for our employees’ families.

In addition to educational support, we contribute R1.7 million annually towards medical aid for families, ensuring that our employees and their loved ones have access to essential healthcare services. We also recognise the importance of support during difficult times, providing more than R627 000 over five years for funeral allowances and related functions for direct family
members.

WE ENSURE THE DAILY WELL-BEING OF OUR EMPLOYEES BY CONTRIBUTING R282 000 ANNUALLY TOWARDS FOOD ALLOWANCES, HELPING TO MEET THE DAILY NUTRITIONAL NEEDS OF OUR WORKFORCE.

STAFF TRAINING PROGRAMMES

We provided continuous formal and informal work-based training and leadership development programmes throughout the year as part of the company’s drive to improve business performance and efficiency while helping staff with their individual learning requirements.

Informal work-based training initiatives are conducted annually to upskill all staff and maintain the highest quality standards. The total contribution towards informal training is more than R212 000. In addition, accredited CETA training providers provide annual Health and Safety Training Level 1 First Aid for all Site Managers and dedicated staff members at the Head office.
