3. ENDORSMENT OF COMMITMENT FROM SENIOR MANAGEMENT

The Senior Management of TYKAR CLEANING SERVICES are totally committed to the Implementation of the affirmative action process within the company. This process will take place over time, as such a process, by its nature, makes the application of hard and fast time scales both difficult and dangerous to apply. Any time scale that is agreed to between employees and management must take all factors into consideration viz:

A. Employees background - both educational and social as this gives an indication of employees potential.

B. Employees performance levels.

C. Compatibility between mentor and protégé – that is employee is being monitored.

D. Any other factor that impacts on the route the individual is to take within the company.

E. On the quarterly basis, Management will review the affirmative action process by speaking to first line supervisors / middle management etc. On a half yearly basis, an audit check will be done through interviews at all levels to provide for a broader check on the process. This audit process will be the means through which Management analyses the quality of the company’s affirmative action policy to determine whether the process is achieving its purpose. It must be noted that affirmative action, by its very nature, is both an encouraging and threatening concept depending on where each individual stands in relation to it. It can give too much hope to the less advantaged and does not allow them to take stock of their capabilities in relation to advancement. At the same time it threatens those who have benefited in the past and therefore raises the unwanted specter of animosity amongst employees. It needs to be handled carefully for the good of both employees and management. It is very important that management adheres to its training and development goals once they have been agreed to. Management must also not be afraid of making mistakes as this is a process which needs adjustment as it is implemented. Mistakes must be quickly identified and corrected as soon as possible. Any policies, practices and facilities identified as infringing upon the basic human dignity of employees that could “act as barriers” to the appointment, promotion and retention of blacks and women are to be eliminated.

5.1 ACTION PLAN

A. A task team will be established which will be made up of employees from all levels as well as management.

B. Task team members are to be consulted about the significance of this project so that they clearly understand their role.

Workshops are to be held so that members of the task team can have a clear focus on their Goals and any obstacles which may be in the system that they are going to be involved with. They must be clear that at some stage of the process their views are going to clash and they

must not be afraid of this but must be able to handle it and proceed with the process.

C. A survey form will be designed to obtain the following information from all the employees.

Career aspirations.

Views on place within the organizational framework. Views of superiors, peers, and subordinates regarding aspects such as attitudes, management style and interpersonal relationships. Views of the mission and actual business of the organizations. Main duties. Evaluate the employees interpersonal skills, attitude to and opinions of current realities for possible involvement as change agents or for future selection, a mentors/coaches. All the above data will be translated and necessary information passed on to the relevant division of the organization to be audited where it relates to non affirmative action or non equal employment opportunity.

All the above data will be translated and necessary information passed onto the relevant division of the organization to be audited where it relates to non affirmative action or non equal employment opportunity. Change the value system within the company through communication and facilitation of the orientation process for all employees including management. Any resistance to change should be eradicated through counseling to obtain full commitment from those sections of the organization. Identify certain individuals/agents who have been successful with affirmative action process to give some insight into the challenges that will face them and the strategies.

5.2 DEVELOPMENT OF INDIVIDUALS TO FULL POTENTIAL

Monitoring and performance appraisals systems to be applicable to all employees Assess individual potential for growth and also identify his/her training priorities. A personal development plan will be drawn for each employee. Address management succession needs.

5.3 SELECTION AND APPOINTMENT OF NEW INCUMBENTS

A. To establish the existing and future manpower plan of the organization. Should a position become available, the demography in that job category should be determined. It may then be decided to give preference to a person from a previously disadvantaged group for appointments to this position. However, this can never be an absolute imperative, since someone from the grouping with the necessary competence and experience may not be available to fill the position. As groups were disadvantaged in education and the fact that educational qualifications are not necessarily indicative of competence, these should not constitute the primary criteria. The Personnel Department together with Line Management will need to identify the competent requirements of the job and to establish methods whereby such competencies can be assessed. Affirmative action candidates will always need to be considered. 5.4 ADVERTISEMENTS

Advertisements must always list the competencies and experience level required and must exclude sex and race. It is not advisable to attempt to recruit staff from other organizations as this merely sustains the already employed. It is best to identify from within those persons who display the potential to grow into the job.

5.5 THE INTEGRATING OF APPOINTEES INTO THE ORGANISATION

All new incumbents (not only affirmative action appointees) should be properly integrated into the company. The most effective way being to, conduct an induction programme.In the case of Affirmative Action appointees, their integration needs to be monitored. (If they are properly selected,they will more than likely accomplish their integration).

5.6 MONITORING AND PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL

All candidates will be appointed on a probationary period and their performance will be monitored on an ongoing basis. One will need to adhere accordingly to the New Labour Relations on the set procedure. Employees will need to be informed of the standards required and given regular feedback as regards their performance. The necessary assistance, training and coaching must be given.

5.7 CAREER PLANNING DEVELOPMENT AND CAREER

Succession planning and career development will need to be implemented.

5.8 SUPPORT TO EDUCATION AND TRAINING

To provide support for adult literacy and education programmes. To become actively involved with institutions involved in the provision of applicable training courses e.g. Technikons etc.To provide bursaries in the related field of study.To provide study assistance to employees who want to better themselves in the field of work they are in.In the long term to provide opportunities to Tykar’s employees to obtain necessary secondary and tertiary education.

5.9

REPORTING

Reports should be done on a quarterly basis on the following:The ratio of the previously disadvantaged to whites.The ratio of the previously disadvantaged to white in management.The ratio of females to overall management.The proportion of vacancies filled by blacks – both internally and externally.Comparative analyses of job categories by race and gender.
