Empowering the workforce, with Tsebo Solutions Chief People Officer Elanie Kruger
In this episode, Tsebo Solutions Group Chief People Officer Elanie Kruger shares her views on the role that HR leaders should play to combat the seemingly undeterrable monster that is youth unemployment. There are concerns that South Africa may soon have one of the highest global jobless rates, especially among the youth aged 15-34. This unemployment crisis has far-reaching consequences, as it exacerbates other challenges such as skills shortages that are prevalent across all sectors, hampering economic growth, development, and employability. Elanie thus talks about the upside of enhanced diversity, equity and inclusion. as well as the importance of investing in Learning and Development (L&D) beyond the mandated 1% minimum spending requirement.
