HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENT

Equity Target and Employment Equity Status
It is important to note that the Employment Equity (EE) targets are in line with the EE reporting period from
01 October 2023 to 30 September 2024. These targets are continuously monitored to intervene and minimise
variances. The development and implementation of the bespoke leadership development programme to
equip SAMRC leaders and develop a pipeline for senior leaders in the organisation, is a key strategy to address
the challenges identified at senior management level.
