INTRODUCTION

Since 1994, South Africa has undergone socio-economic, political, and demographic transformation. The Employment Equity Act (No 55) of 1998 aims to facilitate workplace transformation through the elimination of unfair discrimination and the implementation of affirmative action and measures to enable equitable representation of employees from different race and gender groups in the workplace. This legislation was amended on 1 August 2014. At the heart of the amendments was a need to make the South African Constitution real for South Africans in facilitating work inclusive environments in which people are enabled and motivated to contribute to the goals of the organisation. The state must respect, protect, promote, and fulfil the rights in the Bill of Rights, one of these rights being equality.

Affirmative action as a component of employment equity is inherently part of the process of increasing and managing diversity and identifying barriers to fair employment. Transformation does make business sense. No business will survive in the long run, unless it reinvents itself and constantly adapts to the ever-changing demands of an increasingly competitive global environment in which it operates. An organisation’s ability to create a work culture in which diversity management is effectively managed is more likely to experience the positive effects thereof on its business. Organisations require a diverse workforce with the requisite multidisciplinary talents and knowledge to achieve its goals in an ever-changing environment.

The Employment Equity Committee is a consultative forum and for recommendations to be proposed and accepted they must be supported by a majority vote. The Employment Equity Committee can have a dual function as a Skills Development Committee, making recommendations on what training the company should consider for inclusion in the Annual Workplace Skills Plan and who should be considered for training.

The Employment Equity Committee members will acquire the necessary knowledge to make a meaningful contribution to the compilation of the annual Employment Equity Report and Employment Equity Plan. In addition, the Employment Equity Committee members will act as conduits for employees who feel that they may have been treated in a discriminatory manner and to advise them what dispute resolution procedures to follow.
