Valuing Diversity Workshop (VDW)
Today’s diverse workplace and customer environments require of us all to possess skills and abilities over and above our technical qualifications and competencies. We are also expected to deal comfortably, confidently, competently and effectively with whomever we interact with in the diverse and increasingly diversifying workforce, customer bases, business partners and society. On this programme you will learn to enhance personal empowerment, professional effectiveness, career advancement, and organisational success through understanding the essence and value of differences and by overcoming internalized barriers to diversity. Also understand how much we are all products of the environments that produced the people that we have become. Understanding, valuing, respecting, managing and living of diversity is as much about you as it is about others. Therefore, develop this solid foundation to human relations and personal effectiveness for success in today and tomorrow’s diverse world.

Employment Equity and Diversity Programme
The Employment Equity Act 55/1998 is not well understood by even those that are tasked with guiding their organisations to achieve both its business and compliance objectives. The understanding is almost non-existent in line managers who are tasked with implementation, and staff members who are to live through this process. In fact, the current understanding is negative and mostly feulled by conventional perceptions on transformation. Members of Employment Equity Committees will learn to blend the business context, legal compliance, and the spirit of the equity process and the management of diversity that should underpin and sustain the equity objectives and add value to the business. This knowledge will result in both pro-active and re-active strategies for successful integration, implementation and sustenance.
This two (2) day programme is targeted at members of Employment Equity Committees.
