We believe that people are our major asset.

In order to achieve these objectives, we aim to:

• Pay above-average packages for good performance and monitoring the remuneration structure in each relevant market so that we dont fall behind;
• Accommodate individual preferences for work assignments and schedules as far as possible; and
• Support an open-door policy. Where employees feel they have difficulty in discussing concerns with their seniors, they have direct access to any Partner, Member of the Human Resources Committee or the Human Resources Manager, and ultimately the Managing Director.

We believe that a high-quality organisation relies on high quality employees in all posts and at all levels.

Upon becoming a permanent member of staff, the Company will endeavour to pay an annual performance bonus to each permanent employee as a reward for individual / financial performance. The Company reserves the right to pay an interim bonus during the year, normally in December. This forms part of the annual bonus.

The Company is an employee-owned Company. In line with the Company policy, an offer of available shares is made each year and employees are encouraged to invest in their Company. Partners consider the views of shareholders on the admission of new employees as shareholders.
