Employment Equity Advisory

Know Where Your Workforce Gaps Are.

We help employers build Employment Equity plans that are credible, implementable and monitored — instead of documents completed to meet a submission date.

The challenge

Employment Equity is usually planned once and revisited too late.

Plans are often written to satisfy a reporting requirement, then left untouched until the next cycle — by which time appointments, promotions and exits have moved the workforce in a different direction.

Committees meet without a clear agenda, records are incomplete, and leadership has no reliable view of whether the organisation is progressing.

Business impact

  • Workforce targets missed because nobody was tracking movement
  • Consultation and committee records that would not withstand scrutiny
  • Employment Equity and B-BBEE telling two different stories
  • Senior appointments made without reference to the EE plan

Detail on request

Questions leadership teams usually ask.

Do you set our numerical goals for us?

We help you develop defensible goals based on your workforce, sector and current legal obligations. The employer remains the decision-maker; we provide the analysis and advice behind the decision.

Can you support our EE committee?

Yes. We help establish or strengthen the committee, structure meaningful consultation and keep the supporting records in order.

We are behind on our plan. Can you help?

Yes. We start with an honest review of the current position, then focus on the actions that will make the most difference in the time available.

Do you handle statutory submissions?

We prepare and validate the information so that submission is straightforward, and we advise throughout. The employer remains responsible for what is submitted.
