We consistently live our values, treat all individuals in a fair and respectful manner, and strive always to act in accordance with ethical guidelines and statutory requirements. All day-to-day work is aligned with the Primedia vision and we buy-into our mandate to empower people to make smart choices; rewarding, recognising and celebrating people and achievements.

At Primedia we value strong networks and working relationships that are underpinned by teamwork, open communication, trust and respect. We invest time and other resources to build and nurture high-performing teams – earning each other’s trust, providing constructive feedback and holding ourselves and others accountable for performance development.

We run various programmes for members of the Primedia family. Employees are enabled to build capacity and develop their skills through accredited and nationally recognised training initiatives. We offer our leaders personalised opportunities to grow and develop leadership potential; a core component of our leadership succession strategy.
