Workplace equality

As part of our purpose, we are committed to making the world more connected, inclusive and sustainable, where everyone can truly be themselves and belong. We bring the human touch to our technology to create a better digital future for all, starting with our people. Our diversity and inclusion focus aims to remove barriers to workplace equality by accelerating momentum on gender equality, accelerating racial transformation in South Africa, sustaining focus on lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex and asexual people and those with gender expressions and sexual orientations outside of traditional norms (LGBTQIA+), and ensuring our physical and digital workplace is fully accessible

Ensuring fair pay

Our total reward framework is underpinned by our commitment to fair pay. It encourages and rewards our Spirit, which is essential for our digital transformation. Vodacom seeks to eliminate discrimination from remuneration – whether direct or indirect, based on race, sex, gender or disability – by applying the principle of equal remuneration for work of equal value.

Women in management

We work to ensure gender diversity when resourcing for senior leadership roles. Our leadership team is accountable for maintaining diversity and inclusion in their teams. We embed women in management targets in our long-term incentive plans.
