Eskom at the Top Employers Institute People Summit 2026 Eskom was pleased to participate in the Top Employers Institute People Summit held in Johannesburg on 1 July 2026, joining business leaders, HR professionals, and industry experts in shaping the future of work. Eskom's Group Chief People Officer, Dr. Candice Hartley (PhD) shared insights into Eskom’s transformation and turnaround journey, including the efforts behind Eskom being certified as a Top Employer for two consecutive years. This recognition reflects a deliberate focus on strengthening leadership, enhancing the employee experience, building organisational capability, and fostering a high-performance, ethical culture that supports Eskom’s broader recovery agenda. The overwhelmingly positive sentiment in the room was a powerful reminder of the pride that South Africans continue to have in this important national institution. Sharing Eskom’s story and progress with peers across industries was both inspiring and encouraging. Eskom also contributed to important conversations about the future of work. Valisha Naidoo, Acting Senior Manager in the Office of the Group Chief People Officer, participated in a panel discussion exploring how organisations are navigating agentic AI while preserving the human touch. The discussion underscored the importance of responsible adoption, ethical leadership, and ensuring that people remain at the center of transformation. The summit provided valuable opportunities for engagement and learning, with Eskom’s Talent Acquisition teams connecting with thought leaders and peers to exchange insights on employer branding, talent attraction, employee value proposition (EVP) and future-fit people practices. As we continue our transformation journey, we remain focused on what matters most: people, purpose and performance. #Eskom #TopEmployer #PeopleSummit #FutureOfWork #Leadership #AgenticAI Nonhlanhla Seroke Caroline Mofolo Cassandra Bridget Mahlangu Top Employers Institute
