Towards the end of 2020, we fundamentally changed the construct of the traditional Employee Value Proposition by firstly moving from a ‘proposition’ to a ‘promise’ of delivering impact. Our promise stems from our firm conviction that ‘our people deserve to live inspired lives’.
Our value promise coined ‘Live Inspired’ informs our people strategy, programmes and initiatives, all of which aims to create an inspiring environment in which our people are empowered to thrive, grow and make an impact – everywhere they go. As such, Live Inspired is rooted in the ‘Power of Choice’, empowering each employee to tailor value choices that matter most to them.
Gender pay is a critical component of the gender equalisation agenda. At a global scale, the issue of gender pay parity has been among the top considerations, even more so since the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted progress. As corporations, we have a definitive responsibility to close the gender pay gap.
In an effort to hold ourselves accountable, we transparently report on the state and action-based progress of our gender pay parity.
Hear more information below from our Group Chief Human Resources Officer, Paul Norman about our Gender Pay Parity commitment.

Africa is a continent of immense potential, diversity and innovation. As the world becomes more interconnected, for Africa, opportunities to shape the future of digital transformation, social development and economic growth are exhilarating. As MTN, we believe firmly in driving African progress. This requires the collective spirit and might of our people – our Y’ello family. Our aim is to ensure that our 17 500+ people have a work environment in which they have the freedom to thrive and create meaningful impact in everything they do.
Building the best talent and culture is key to our Ambition 2025 strategy. It reflects in our commitment to invest in people, nurture their potential and enable them for the future of work. By creating a place where everyone can contribute with meaning we can lead digital solutions for Africa’s progress.
In our 2023 People Report, we share stories and insights about our people, organisation and culture.
At the heart of our Employee Value Proposition is to build on our wellbeing foundation and find innovative ways to make health, wellness and wellbeing accessible, available and integrated into our people’s everyday lives. Acknowledging the power of digital, in 2022, we launched our home-grown pan-African employee wellbeing app, MTN MOVE. Made by our people, for our people, our goal was to create a holistic wellbeing experience for us.
Read all about why MTN MOVE has become our Y’ello Family’s most beloved app.
For us at MTN, Diversity Equity and Inclusion (DEI) demands commitment, continuous discovery, evolution in thought, education, hard actions and most of all, collectivism. This is our Live Inspired promise to our Y’ello Family.
To us, our culture is not monolithic but a living, breathing microcosm of many cultures, woven together by the spirit of Y’ello. While equity and inclusion are a way of life, DEI for us is a journey requiring intentional, mindful action that is targeted at fostering a sense of belonging. We have been on the journey of mindful action that is targeted at fostering a sense of belonging for the last 30 years, adapting ourselves along the way to sustainably strengthen our DEI outlook.

When we reflect on the future of MTN, it is imperative that we focus on people trends that will shape the world of work and make the most impact.
This year, we spent some time with MTN CHROs from across our markets to understand the top human capital trends that will shape our people and culture strategy in the future.
In our 2023 MTN Group People Report we delve into these trends and unpack how MTN is preparing for the future of talent, organisation and culture.
