Event Details
South Africa’s Employment Equity framework has entered a new enforcement era.
With the implementation of the Employment Equity Amendment Act and the 2025 Regulations, designated employers must now comply with:
- Sector-specific demographic targets
- Revised EEA reporting forms
- Stricter Certificate of Compliance requirements
- Increased inspections, penalties, and enforcement
This practical, compliance-focused masterclass is designed to equip HR, Transformation, and Compliance professionals with the exact knowledge and tools needed to submit accurate, defensible Employment Equity Reports and avoid costly mistakes.
If you are responsible for EEA submissions, this training ensures you are fully prepared before the deadline.
Why This Workshop Is Critical Now
Failure to comply can result in:
- Inability to do business with government
- Rejection of EEA submissions
- Increased labour inspections
- Administrative fines and penalties
- Reputational risk and legal exposure
This workshop removes uncertainty and gives you clarity, confidence, and compliance certainty.
