During 2002, McKinsey and Company
conducted a ?culture and values? survey across all AngloGold
operations. Driven by the corporate office in South Africa, the
survey focused on the current culture and values of the
organisation, as well as the desired culture and values going
forward.
Approximately half of the permanent employees in the company?s
Australia region were surveyed. Encouragingly, the results of the
survey showed that the Australian region has one of the highest
levels of satisfaction with its current culture and a good level of
alignment between the desired culture and values.
Of those employees surveyed, employee safety was perceived to be the
most important AngloGold Australia value. Other important values
desired by employees ? and perceived to exist ? were: continuous
improvement, teamwork, and performance and environmental awareness. |
