Aim
The Employment Equity and Skill Development Acts require that employers consult with elected representatives about the implementation of the Acts.
The overall aim of the workshop is to assist elected equity-skill committee members to formulate, and agree their roles and responsibilities to support the company’s business plan priorities and comply with the requirements of the Employment Equity, Skills Development, and Skills Development Levies Acts.
Workshop method and style
The workshop will help participants explore the critical questions and issues that relate to the consultative role that elected Equity-Skill Development Committee Member play to help their company implement the requirements of the Employment Equity and Skill Development Acts. The facilitator provides brief inputs about key aspects of the Acts (brief ‘lecturettes’, PowerPoint slide shows, handouts/notes for review).
Participants are assisted to explore the question, and to come up with answers (i.e. work things out for themselves). The point of exploring the critical questions is to empower representatives to build up a (core) knowledge base about what the acts expect of the company.
Participants are required to develop a mandate/job description of their roles and responsibilities in the course of the three-day workshop for presentation at the conclusion of the workshop (project). The mandate becomes the working constitution for the effective functioning of the committee/forum for the long haul.
The facilitator draws the key points from each question examined together and helps the delegates come up with a mandate/job description that will guide the Forum/Committee in its future work.
Duration and audience
The recommended schedule is for a 3-day workshop; the schedule can be adjusted to a 2-day workshop. The workshop is intended for an intact ‘team’ of elected representatives, AND an appointed Chairperson who provides management insight and support for the process.
The critical questions/issues
Thirteen (13) critical questions form the ‘syllabus’ of the workshop. The answers to these questions represent the core store of knowledge and insights needed by elected members to fulfil their roles as committee/form representatives.
