POLICY & PROCEDURE DEVELOPMENT
Employees need consistent company policies to guide them on their roles and responsibilities, as well as the company’s overarching business principles, ethics and beliefs — for compliance reasons and to ensure a healthy company culture. Written policies and procedures also help protect your company from potential legal action.
Reviewing and updating policies and procedures will enable your business to:
- Meet its legislative and governance responsibilities, and achieve its organisational goals;
- Ensure clarity, consistency, transparency and accountability in decision-making; and
- Reduce potential risk
WORKPLACE SKILLS PLANS & ANNUAL TRAINING REPORTING
Skills Development is essential in any organisation to ensure employees do not think of what they do as a job but rather a career. When you groom and development skills, they soon learn what they are doing is more that a job or a means to an end. A Workplace Skills Plan documents the skills that are needed within an organisation and provides a layout of the initiatives your organisation are taking to acquire those skills.
What is the importance of a WSP?
- It highlights the skills gaps in an organisation
- It highlights the employer’s intention to address these gaps and ways in which they intend to do this
- It encourages a well-rounded approach to training and skills development
- It enables the various SETA’s in turn to compile their Sector Skills Plan thus allowing access to the various SETA grants
- Vital to any Workplace Skills Plan is a skills audit. Such an audit has several benefits. To mention a few:
- Provides a good snapshot of where the organisation is in terms of actual skill and knowledge within the talent pool
- Points out areas where specific development requires focus
- Helps employers to place their staff into the correct positions, making the best use of their skills to increase productivity
- Helps employers to align their Workplace Skills Plan with their company strategy
- Enables employers to undertake succession planning
The Annual Training report will assist you in identifying your training success points, and also highlight any deviations from your training objectives. It is important to maintain good records to verify the information provided. To qualify for money back in training grants for up to 50% of the levies paid, the company needs to submit an Annual Training Report at the end of their financial year, or along with the Workplace Skills Plan. In your Annual Training Report, you will plot out the progress of your training in line with exactly what you submitted in your Workplace Skills Plan.
COMMUNITY & CO-OP DEVELOPMENT
Currently cooperatives are battling to survive because of a lack of understanding and inability by members to operate them. There is a need to educate new members as well as re-educate the existing members about the meaning of cooperatives.
The quest of competitive advantage can no longer be found simply in lower cost or higher quality or better service, instead it lies in adaptability, flexibility, speed aggressiveness and innovativeness. These five come down to one: entrepreneurship.
