At SA Canegrowers and under the leadership of Human Resources Manager, Karen Close, development plans are established for each employee wanting to further their academic qualifications or behavioural development.

Some of the study needs are available through in-house training, on the job training and depending on budget, external providers are contracted in.

The performance and competence of each staff member is closely monitored and discussed regularly with each individual line manager.

Workshop and conferences attended by staff include:

• Leadership training
