The National Gambling Board's (GRB) human capital philosophy is informed by the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, the Board's legislative and strategic mandate as well as the human capital development best practices. The GRB believes that human capital is the most valuable asset it has in order to achieve its mandate. In this context, human capital refers to the combination of skills, knowledge, attitudes and the consideration of the Board's values that enable organisational culture.
The GRB's values of professionalism, moral integrity, transparency, commitment, consistency, effective implementation of resolutions, responsive communication, team work, respect and tolerance define its organisational work life towards realising its corporate strategic objectives. It is therefore important for GRB employees to live and abide by these values in the daily life of the organisation.
To optimise its human capital the GRB has in line with the revised corporate strategy adopted the following strategic human capital pillars: Talent Attraction and Retention, High Performance Culture, Competitive Reward Strategy, Learning and Development environment, latest Human Capital Technology, Labour Legislative Compliance and Human Resource Development for Gambling Regulators.
Our human capital policies are informed by the labour legislation. These policies are aligned to the Board's corporate strategy and are reviewed regularly to ensure alignment with best practice. Furthermore, the developed and revised Human Capital policies are communicated internally to ensure employee buy-in and managing human capital risk.

With the revised corporate strategy, the Human Capital Department has set itself targets of reviewing its human capital technology to be aligned with business technology and enhance organisational reporting. Integrated systems human capital technologies that ensures employee self service are in place to create user friendly systems and excellence in reporting.
