About this course

Employment equity is often treated as an HR form that is filed once a year. In fact, most EE risk is created by managers: in who they shortlist, how they set pay, how they respond to a complaint and whether they attend consultation meetings. This course shows managers what the Employment Equity Act requires of them and how to build evidence of compliance into normal work.
