The Department of Employment and Labour is looking beyond Employment Equity documentation

• The Department of Employment and Labour is indeed looking beyond Employment Equity documentation, focusing on the meaningful implementation and justification of EE decisions.
• The shift in compliance assessment emphasizes the importance of objective evidence and integration of EE into organisational decision-making, rather than just verifying documentation submission.
• Designated Employers should be prepared to provide documented evidence to justify their EE decisions, as DG Reviews will increasingly assess governance and the reasons behind workforce movement decisions.
