Organisational culture and climate audits, Employment Equity Committee capacity building, and diversity and governance training — designed to meet Employment Equity Act obligations and build the structures that sustain transformation.
Employment Equity and B-BBEE are South African legislative frameworks. The underlying audit methodology, EE/transformation-committee capacity building, and diversity and governance training are delivered to both South African and international organisations.
EnquireSection 19 of the Employment Equity Act requires designated employers to analyse their working environment — culture and climate — to identify barriers that adversely affect people from designated groups, and to put strategies in place to eliminate them.
TransformHER designs and conducts these audits: customised survey instruments, interviews and focus groups, quantitative and qualitative analysis, and executive feedback that translates findings into a practical action plan.
Instruments are customised for each organisation; the following dimensions form the core of most audits.
