NRF Annual Report 2018

PART B: PERFORMANCE
Employment equity and transformation
The NRF’s transformation framework and employment
equity plan (EEP) are at the core of its commitment to achieve
transformation and representative employment equity at
all occupation levels and within the various categories of
its workforce. The NRF Employment Equity and Redress
Policy adopted by the Board sets out measures to ensure
legal compliance with the Employment Equity Act, 1998
(Act 55 of 1998). It includes objectives, activities, numerical
goals and targets to achieve representation of designated
groups across the organisation.
Whilst progress on long-term employment equity targets
continues steadily, achievement against set targets has
been affected by the transfer of the NZG to SANBI. For
2017/18, representation of black staff was 71.2% against
a target of 76%, while female representation was 40.9%
against a target of 43% (foreign nationals excluded). Key
challenges remain gender representation at executive
and senior management levels and black representation
in the three highest employment categories. People with
disabilities account for 0.6% against a target of 1.4%. There
was, however, significant improvement in the achievement
of employment equity targets for senior technical and
managerial positions. The employment equity profile is
depicted below.
