Eyezwe Consulting

I know that as a business leader you want to run a successful, reputable ad profitable business. To do this you need a conducive environment where all your employees feel heard, seen and valued. You want a vibrant and positive culture where your employees are engaged and committed to the mission and vision of the business and live out the values of the organisation in all their interactions inside and outside your organisation. In the many focus groups that I have conducted as part of the barrier analysis for the Employment Equity Report I have encountered employees who feel used, unseen and unheard. Many of them have been with their organisations for over ten years so they have been through a few surveys and focus groups and the question that I have faced repeatedly is “what is going to change this time?” The reason for this question is that they have answered the same questions every three to five years and none of the recommendations have been implemented. This leads to lack of motivation, disengagement and feelings of organisational betrayal. I know that most leaders do intend to pack the EE Report at the back of the shelf and forget about it until it expires without so much as an attempt to implement the recommendations. Trying to implement these recommendations can be a daunting task for the internal communications team considering the discomfort most people feel towards bridging conversations about race, gender and equity. Your chance at bringing lasting and tangible change is engaging an external company that is skilled in handling difficult conversations and creating actionable strategies to address the barriers in a way that is aligned to the business goals and values. What you as an organisation will end up with a company with a rich culture of inclusivity, belonging, diversity where all the employees show up fully and contribute whole heartedly to the growth and advancement of the business and others.
