We believe that it is our people that make a difference. During 2011 we furthered our people strategy to achieve our ultimate goal of having ‘Engaged People in Winning Teams’.

We proactively manage the development of our leadership population through our Talent Review and Planning Process which is currently in its fifth year. This process looks to evaluate each manager on a regular basis against both the achievement of their objectives (‘what’ they are tasked to do) as well as the quality of their leadership skill (‘how’ they achieve their results). By having this consistent global view of how we evaluate our leadership population we are able to identify development opportunities, promotional opportunities and also have in place our succession plans. We have made several key people decisions as a result of the talent and performance management process including international opportunities which have enabled our people to have a more stimulating career path.
