Empowerment is only effective if there is a commitment from business to pro-actively apply itself and its resources to achieving the objectives and visions of broad based empowerment activities. Solution One Plus is committed to such an empowerment belief.
It is through our Committed 2 Empower Program, that we institute such efforts to transform our business, to meet the socio-economic objectives of our industry and our nation's transformation efforts.
We have formulated special policies and operational guidelines for every aspect of our business to align with our Committed 2 Empower program.
The alignment strategy includes the following core business focus areas:
Management
Recruitment
Procurement
Training
We envision our program to be a beacon of pro-active effort to achieve empowerment and transformation in our industry. A beacon of commitment to inspire other businesses to join the industry and national transformation effort.
Increase HDI and women equity participation
Foster HDI and women skills development
Practice effective targeted procurement
Eliminate any form of discrimination
Grow and nurture local talent
In implementing our Committed 2 Empower program, we consider many factors that contribute to our overall objectives. Implementation is therefore phased according to our business environment.
Prioritisation and special attention is provided to specific empowerment goals that will make the greatest contribution to an industry wide effort. For the current year, we are committed to the empowerment of women.
