In this article, we will be delving into the topic of managing equal opportunity employment. To begin with, it would be important to understand the definition “Equal opportunity employment”, specifically in a South African context.
FHH Consultants are aligned with industry best practices and ensure compliance standards are adhered to through relevant processes. Illustrative examples of our services would include conciliation and dispute resolution, chairing of disciplinary inquiries, performing HR audits, designing staff management solutions as well as performance evaluation to name a few.
To begin with, equal employment opportunity is the principle and legislative compliance that ensures fair and equal practices are applied to all stakeholders, specifically existing staff members, and prospective employees.
There are definitive processes in which equal opportunity can be managed. This would include a commitment from leadership to adopt an equality policy and ensure that this is communicated effectively throughout the organisation and is deemed as public knowledge.
Equality audits should also be conducted to measure the relativity of the action plan for equal opportunities. In addition, the basic steps of equality management would be to commit, assess, define, implement, measure, and communicate.
Identifying the need for non-discrimination strategies should further support initiatives and be in alignment with legislative requirements. Reviewing and changing recruitment policies could also contribute to fairer competence-based systems, which would further be translated to fair compensation in the long run.
Ensuring that the policies are defined and clearly communicated and all stakeholders are appropriately trained and educated. Appointing a designation equality coordinator and involving specific target groups to coordinate the implementation of the policies could also further enhance equal opportunity employment.
