Initiatives from BEKA Schréder In South Africa, our local entity, BEKA Schréder, has a strong focus on education. This is an important issue in a country where a broken and unequal education system perpetuates poverty and inequality. Every company in South Africa is rated according to the B-BBEE Scorecard. In general, the level of compliance determines participation in the economy and public tenders. BEKA Schréder decided to go beyond the B-BBEE checklist. In 2022, the following programmes were implemented.
In 2022, approximately 1,169 training sessions were conducted in 27 countries, ranging in topics such as sales, finance, legal and HR to personal development, work, health and safety, language and soft skills. During 2022, only a few countries had to implement transition support programmes, as there were almost no retirements. As part of these programmes, one pre-retirement plan was developed, two training sessions were conducted for employees who intended to continue working after retirement and counselling sessions were conducted for 3 retiring employees.
