Eveready is committed to creating a work environment which is different and which would surprise most employees coming from a large corporate environment. We have created an A-political environment where the company culture is lived rather than spoken about. This culture is typified by a strong leadership, an open door policy, strong communication channels in all directions and a high level of individual empowerment and accountability.

Our culture, flowing from the corporate vision of growth, has four major areas of focus – strong leadership, team work, personal mastery and organizational excellence.

Our dedication to our employees is reflected in the results of the Deloitte Best Company to Work For survey which we participated in 2006 and 2007.

In 2006 we were voted 8^th best company to work for in South Africa and in 2007 the 6^th Best medium sized company to work for in South Africa. Truly a remarkable achievement as the survey is largely based on employee perception.
