Whilst the EE Act requires an employer to consult with workforce representatives regarding the implementation of its EE Plan and to state in its EE Plan the persons in the workforce responsible for monitoring and implementing the Plan, the EE Act, Codes and Regulations are silent on how an employer is to do so and manage its EE transformation.
To effectively monitor and evaluate the implementation of its EE Plan a Designated Employer needs to put in place at least the following:
- The establishment of a special transformation (management) structure.
- Develop and prepare an EE Reporting Template to be used for monitoring and evaluation of EE
- Institutionalise the management of EE transformation.
This webinar will deal with each of the above aspects and provide participants with the necessary insight on the structures, processes and tools required for the effective implementation of its EE Plan.
