Key focus - Human capital

The Murray & Roberts leadership teams are a key source of competitive advantage and the Group has implemented a rigorous process to prepare them for a period of sustainable growth.

Many of the human capital challenges facing the Group are industry-wide, requiring an holistic approach aimed at both supply side initiatives (growing the pool, diversifying the source and attracting better than the competition) and demand side activities (retention plans, accelerated development and reconsidering job designs) to ensure that the Group attracts, develops and retains the talent it requires to meet its transformation and growth objectives.

In the longer term, sustainable growth depends on the organic development of leadership talent. Murray & Roberts has adopted the Leadership Pipeline process to develop and retain its own talent with a comprehensive succession and development program, based on a common understanding of the roles of leadership at every level of the organisation.

This defines a long term succession planning process ensuring a full and flowing pipeline of leadership talent.

Murray & Roberts continuously strengthens its human capital development with formal management of its leadership pipeline. The Group is awarding more bursaries, facilitating more leadership development and providing more learnerships and artisan training.

The Murray & Roberts career website is accessible at www.careers.murrob.com. The career website is used to communicate with potential candidates for advertised vacancies and for bursary and graduate development opportunities.
