The Employment Equity Workshop got under way at the 1820 Settlers Monument restaurant on Friday morning. Based on Rhodes University's reaction to the implementation of the Department of Labour's Employment Equity Plan, the workshop was a consultative gathering, where different stake holders took part in discussions providing constructive changes.

Several stakeholders such as NEHAWU and NTESU, Rhodes University Vice Chancellor Saleem Badat and other aenior staff took part in the exchange of ideas. 

According to the workshop facilitator and Human Resource Consultant in Rhodes University Chris Mbekela, the workshop was for exploring ways of implementing the Employment Equity Plan and also work on the requirements of the Labour Department relating to affirmative action.

“The workshop is based on the workplace transformation and the implementation of the Employment equity plan in the University,” said Mbekela.
