EMPLOYMENT EQUITY TRAINING COURSE
The Employment Equity Act requires that designated employers design and implement an Employment Equity plan in order to drive “reasonable progress” around employment equity. These plans should also assist in eliminating unfair discrimination in the workplace, and to achieve equitable representation of employees from designated groups by means of affirmative action measures.
Employment Equity Committee Training is essential if you want to avoid your company being fined up to 10% of your annual turnover for not complying with the Employment Equity Act. This training programme enables managers and consultation forums to work together effectively to ensure a constructive business transformation process.
This course is for all persons, both individuals and employees who need to know what employment equity is. After completion of the course participants will understand the history of learning in South Africa, they will be able to describe transformation legislation and will understand the rights and responsibilities of employers and employees.
