Momentum Corporate is leading the way in employee value and experience by sponsoring the prestigious 2024 Employee Value Proposition (EVP) Award at the 2024 CHRO Awards.
According to Qinisekile Dhlamini, head of business development and key client management at Momentum Corporate, the company’s sponsorship of this year’s Employee Value Proposition at the 2024 CHRO Awards reflects the organisation’s commitment to advancing HR excellence and supporting best practices in human capital development.
“Our decision to sponsor this year’s EVP Award is rooted in our commitment to employee wellbeing and a workplace culture that encourages support and growth. As a financial services provider, we understand the vital role a strong EVP plays, not only in attracting and retaining top talent but also in fostering a purpose-driven environment where employees feel genuinely valued and motivated,” he says.
Momentum Corporate recognises that a well-crafted EVP is essential to building a culture of engagement and commitment. For him and the organisation, the sponsorship is an opportunity to support the industry in creating environments where people thrive professionally and personally. “We see this award as an extension of our purpose-driven goals, underscoring the importance of a supportive, inclusive workplace. It’s also about promoting best practices in employee experience that resonate across the industry,” he adds.
The leader further highlights that Momentum’s commitment to HR and leadership aligns directly with the principles that the EVP Award celebrates. “We prioritise excellence in HR because we know that an empowering EVP is fundamental to an organisation’s success. Our people-first approach starts with a deep commitment to wellbeing and extends to every aspect of our HR strategy. This emphasis on employee experience fosters engagement and builds a resilient, innovative workplace, which ultimately benefits our clients and stakeholders.”
he adds that the sponsorship also serves as a platform to champion values industry-wide, positioning the company as a leader in workplace culture and employee value. “By supporting this award, we aim to elevate the importance of these practices on a larger scale. We want to inspire organisations to create workplaces where employees feel seen, valued, and equipped to succeed.”
Qinisekile further describes how Momentum Corporate’s HR strategy is anchored by several key principles that reflect the company’s values:
- Employee wellbeing and support: “A healthy workforce is essential for sustained success,” he says, emphasising the importance of mental health, financial wellness, and work-life balance initiatives.
- Diversity and inclusion: “Our goal is to create an environment where everyone feels respected and can bring their authentic selves to work. Diverse perspectives drive innovation, which in turn helps us serve our clients better.”
- Growth and development opportunities: “Through structured programmes like mentorship, professional training, and career pathways, we nurture employee growth. This approach aligns with our long-term objectives and commitment to developing future leaders,” he shares.
- Purpose-driven leadership: at Momentum Corporate, leaders are encouraged to inspire their teams with a clear sense of purpose. “We align our organisational goals with employees’ roles, creating a cohesive, motivated team.”
- Agility and innovation: as the financial services landscape evolves, Momentum Corporate focuses on cultivating an agile workforce. “We foster a forward-thinking culture where innovation is encouraged, and employees are empowered to contribute actively.”
- Recognition and reward: “We make it a point to recognise and celebrate our employees’ achievements, reinforcing our commitment to valuing their contributions.”
By upholding these values, Momentum Corporate has built an HR strategy that not only attracts top talent but also cultivates a loyal and engaged workforce aligned with the company’s purpose.
Qinisekile explains that Momentum Corporate’s collaboration with CHRO South Africa is another important step in strengthening its HR approach. “By connecting with leading HR professionals, we gain insights into emerging trends and innovative practices that help us refine our own strategies,” he notes. “These partnerships empower us to continuously improve our EVP, ensuring we remain a top choice for talent and are well-positioned for future success.”
For him and Momentum Corporate, the CHRO collaboration is an invaluable asset in showcasing the organisation’s leadership in HR at a national level. “Working with CHRO South Africa allows us to demonstrate our commitment to excellence in HR. It’s about supporting the industry while reinforcing our reputation as a purpose-driven employer and trusted financial services provider,” he says.
“We believe that when employees thrive, organisations thrive,” he concludes, adding that Momentum Corporate also aims to promote through this award and every initiative that supports their people-first values.
