EMPLOYMENT EQUITY
Growing our people
IST acknowledges its responsibility to Affirmative Action (AA) and Employment Equity (EE), and is committed to the development of all its employees in an attempt to create a workforce reflective of the diversity of the country’s communities.

IST Holdings has fully complied with the requirements of the Employment Equity Act and has in place all the required mechanisms to address the demographic imbalances in the employee complement. EE is a multidimensional programme at IST that forms part of a broader strategy entailing overall regeneration of culture, structure, policies, procedures and practices internally as well as investing in the growth and development of people from designated groups in the local community.

A number of company programmes address the internal as well as external issues that face the development and growth of the people of IST. Performance management programmes, individual development plans, the HIV/Aids information programme and the in-house Occupational Health Clinic are just some of the initiatives being undertaken.

IST endeavours to create a work environment conducive to fair and equal treatment in its work practices as well as in its opportunities for growth and development, thereby eliminating discrimination.
