Eyezwe Consulting helps companies to achieve their EE goals using data which guides the formulation of the strategy to achieve diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging. We use the company’s Employment Equity report as our guiding post to create tailor made solutions that will remove the identified barriers to transformation and create a workplace that embraces diversity in all its forms and an inclusive culture where all employees can thrive.
Our history of oppression and segregation has left us with a legacy of inequality, inequity and exclusion. The age of technology and social media has been a leader of cancel culture and one of the drivers of polarization in the workplace and in society.
Fear, Shame and guilt have led to the avoidance of topics around race, gender and transformation. Avoidance leads to feelings of institutional betrayal, because silence is indeed betrayal. This in turn leads to disengagement, high levels of attrition and poor productivity.
The COVID-19 pandemic has further exposed the many levels of inequality in the world and here at home. It has magnified fear even more. Fear of loss due to the illness, fear of job loss as some industries still battle to recover, andfear of being fired for not being vaccinated. All these fears have impacted negatively on people’s health.
Our inability as leaders to communicate, connect and check in with our employees given the current conditions impacts the culture in our organisations, creates panic, kills creativity and productivity. It is not for the internal communications department or human resources to execute this task because they become emmeshed in the politics of the organisation so it best to outsource this important and often contentious task to an external company whose only interest to help the organisation bridge the transformation divide.
We use the art of storytelling to communicate your values, vision, barriers and solutions to create a culture of belonging, diversity, equity, and inclusion.
We turn your Employment Equity Plan into a workable document that will bring meaningful and measurable transformation to your organisation, restore trust and inspire the entire workforce.
The EE Commission 2022 Report states that African and coloured people continue to be underrepresented in corporate South Africa and that there even fewer black women who occupy top positions in most organisations.
We are wired for connection – we strive in community with others and that is why at Eyezwe we are committed to building genuine relationships with our employees, our clients, and all our stakeholders to build connecting and belonging.
We approach uncomfortable conversations with courage and humility, fully cognisant of the fragile balance we strive to strike to achieve where everyone feels seen heard, and valued.
We are committed to showing up for ourselves and all our stakeholders in our most authentic selves, allowing others a safe space to share their stories and to participate in the human experience.
