EMPLOYMENT EQUITY
From an employment equity (EE)
perspective, we are seeing positive, hands-on transformation from within our
business. The group has appointed a Recruitment Manager, who is responsible
for the full recruitment process, in conjunction with a specialist
recruitment team in the regions. In addition, the group has appointed a
Training and Development Manager, who is responsible for ensuring the ongoing
development and advancement of all our staff, as well as building management
capability at all levels in the organisation.
And finally, to ensure that employment
equity is driven more aggressively in the business, we have appointed an
Employment Equity Manager to manage and report on Employment Equity within
the organisation. Another key focus is to continue the momentum already
achieved in building cultural awareness through our Diversity Awareness
workshops for our employees.
The main purpose of Dimension Data’s
Diversity Awareness programme is to create and maintain a positive and
dynamic environment that understands, recognises and values the qualities of
each individual.
The programme provides a building block
towards improved human relations and creating the awareness that diversity
can be our greatest strength.
For the 2005/2006 financial year,
Dimension Data achieved the following:
- 31% people employed were female
- 41.55% of people employed were PDI
