Some believe that Edcon is an Employer of Choice because of its magnitude. We know better. We know that it’s our most valuable asset that makes us great. No not our renowned denims. In fact, every one of our 14 brands across over 1000 stores in South Africa carries this single most valued asset – and that’s our people.
Our business employs over 25 000 permanent employees and a further 20 000 temporary staff who consider us the best retail company to work for. People who are action-oriented, smart, exudes dynamism and savvy, thrive in a diverse environment and exploit opportunities to grow and develop, and those who are passionate about people and are resilient in an environment of continuous change will flourish in a career at Edcon, which is a fast-paced organisation focused on customer satisfaction.
Our company culture and style are built on our values. Steve Ross, our CEO, underscores this when he says, “Values are more important than financial numbers.” This statement captures our focus on building a values-based organisation. To this effect we undertake to value People, Integrity, Performance and Professionalism (PIPP).
