SUMMARY:NBI TLS: Enabling Economic Inclusion | Measuring the Impact - Cape Town
DESCRIPTION:In our South African context of high inequality\, poverty and increasing unemployment\, the ability to create an inclusive economy is fundamental in driving social and economic transformation. We urgently need collaborative responses and action to change the trajectory towards a more stable\, equitable and sustainable society. This requires a real commitment to the development\, support and growth of the SME sector that continues to face major challenges in our economy. \nThe purpose of this Thought Leadership dialogue is to grapple with these challenges\, and to explore practical and implementable solutions through a case study. Growthpoint’s initiative Property Point recently released a Development Impact Report that assesses the economic impact of programmes in supporting and growing SMEs over 10 years of operating. The insights from the report highlight the importance of measuring and evaluating interventions to ensure real impact and change. \nClick here to RSVP for this session.

SUMMARY:Roundtable: Understanding the Gender Pay-Gap in South Africa – Cape Town
DESCRIPTION:The National Business Initiative (NBI) invites you to attend a roundtable discussion to unpack the gender pay-gap in South African workplaces. \nIt is estimated that women in South Africa earn 23% less than men. The gender pay-gap reinforces inequality in the most unequal society in the world. Given that most South African households are headed by women\, the pay-gap between men and women has far-reaching consequences\, including in the workplace. Companies can unlock higher levels of productivity\, morale and retention by taking active steps to address the gender-pay gap. \nThis session is aimed at human resources\, sustainability\, finance and transformation professionals. Points of discussion will include: \n\nThe Motherhood Penalty;\nReligion\, Culture and Education as Drivers of Inequality;\nThe Evolution of the “Boys Club”; and\nWomen in Management: Gatekeepers or Trailblazers?\n\nThe roundtable discussion is an integral part of a gender pay-gap study that forms part of the Presidential Jobs Summit Framework Agreement. The aim of the study is to develop a methodology for standardized and simplified calculation of the gender pay-gap in South Africa\, with the goal of addressing and improving pay disparities. \nThe intention of the roundtable and gender pay-gap study is for organisations to begin to unpack and understand the complex nature gender equity manifests within the workplace and the implications it has on our economy and society.

SUMMARY:Sharing the Transformation Vision of a Just and Equal South Africa - Cape Town
DESCRIPTION:Over the past six months\, the NBI has worked collectively with our member companies to critically reflect on transformation in South Africa.

This event will share these outcomes and detail the way forward. \n\n\n\nJoin us for an open and engaging dialogue and to learn more about how you can be involved in creating a more inclusive and equal South Africa. RSVP here.\n\n\n\n
