Women in the workplace
Two recent reports released by the World Economic Forum and the International Labour Organisation reveal that while there is an inevitability in the increasing participation of women in the workforce, countries and organisations are still far off the mark in achieving gender equality.

Is your company considering retrenchments?
If so - make sure you are equipped with the knowledge and tools to do it right!
The Labour Relations Act and the Code of Good Practice are very clear on what is required of business owners and managers in the retrenchment process. Since retrenchment is a "no fault" dismissal - it is essential that all possible alternatives to dismissal are explored and that the employees to be dismissed are treated fairly.
In addition to the risk of not following the correct procedures during a retrenchment process, HR professionals also need to be aware of the other negative effects that this process can cause. Very few organisations see an immediate improvement in productivity due the feelings of survivor guilt, sadness and even anger of those left behind, never mind the loss of skills because we all know that it is normally the best employees who leave first. A process that is meant to ensure the survival of a company can too often result in further loss of productivity if not managed properly.
