About Imatech > Our Culture

OUR CULTURE

In this section, we profile some of the most prominent initiatives and organization principles that help define our culture.

Our employees are critical to the success of Imatech. The Imatech workforce operates in an entrepreneurial environment which instills a sense of ownership for each individual in his or her area of the business. The company structure treats and rewards each employee as a profit centre. This unique arrangement, which is supported by proprietary business systems, fosters a responsive and customer-focused climate and keeps the organisation dynamic and flexible to efficiently meet changing market, customer and technical challenges.

We have over the years developed a highly successful technique in selecting suitable employees, which is strictly applied to the recruitment of all our key personnel. Potential candidates are assessed for the appropriate balance of un-trainable personality characteristics pertaining to persuasiveness, interpersonal skills, problem-solving & decision-making and personal organisation skills & time management. Once employed, Imatech offers continual scope and encouragement for ongoing development and self-realisation to sharpen personal skills and build deeper knowledge. Imatech is able to attract and retain the best people in the workforce, and to leverage this as a competitive advantage.

Each individual in Imatech embodies the fundamental values of the organization which are based on respect for customers, suppliers, colleagues and other stakeholders. Imatech employees are proud of their company's strong reputation and conduct their business ethically and uphold the highest levels of honesty and integrity.

Imatech employees are driven to provide lasting solutions, and are continually looking for the best available products to achieve this. The combined thinking power of our Product, Industrial and Regional experts enables the Imatech Team to think outside the square and regularly come up with innovative solutions to new and existing issues.

We believe that the ability to act faster and more innovative than our competition gives us an advantage in the markets we serve. The results have been phenomenal: since its inception in 1994, Imatech is growing at a compound rate of 40% per annum.
