Target Setting Principles
ESKOM EE POLICY/CONTEXT - REPRESENTATION OF DESIGNATED GROUPS
Eskom views Employment Equity as a strategic imperative and is, within this context, striving to ensure that its workforce demographic profile reflects the Economic Active demographic profile of South Africa
Eskom must, in terms of the Vision 2020 on Employment Equity statement of intent, match the Economic Active Profile of South Africa by 31 March 2020
Eskom is currently committed to major cost savings resulting from BPP initiatives. This has already resulted in the capping of workforce numbers and less opportunities to progress towards the Eskom 2020 Vision on Employment Equity
Business has been calling for a different approach to the way in which Employment Equity targets have been set before as a result of the cost savings drive, and more especially the capping of workforce numbers, which has a negative impact on their ability to achieve the incremental targets, as set before
ESKOM EMPLOYMENT EQUITY TARGET SETTING PRINCIPLES
Currently Employment Equity targets are set as follows:
The Economic Active Population demographic profile minus the workforce (per occupational level, race & gender groups) as at the end of a particular financial year, divided by the years remaining between that particular date and the 31st of March 2020
Follow a two-prompt approach to the setting of Employment Equity targets
Set targets for the business based on the current formula referred to above, in order to provide it with clear direction on:
The milestones which need to be reached on an annual base in order to align with the Vision 2020 Employment Equity statement of intent. (These targets will also be used for Employment Equity Planning and Consultation-, but not for performance management purposes)
The demographic profile (race grouping/gender grouping) of individuals that should receive preference when appointing/promoting new/current employees - in support of the above targets
Follow a two-prompt approach to the setting of Employment Equity targets (continued)
Set targets at Senior Management (EEE/SEE) and Professional/Managerial (P/G/M/S 14 - 18) levels based on the extent to which opportunities to appoint/promote employees within/into these levels have been utilised to improve the under representation of people from the designated groups in the business during a particular financial year. (The formula which will be applied to set these targets will be as follows:
The number of Black (African/Coloured Indian) or Female (African/ Coloured/Indian/White) appointments that have been made/done within/into these levels during the financial year, expressed as a percentage of the total number of appointments/ promotions made/done at these levels during the same period. (These targets will be used for performance management purposes as it is believed that the business will perceive these targets to be reasonably fair and to a large extent, within their control)
