Employment Equity

Milu supports the initiative to achieve greater equity in the workplace and Milu are fully committed to complying with the Employment Equity Act. An Employment Equity Plan was submitted in 2006.The Milu Employment Equity committee has been established to ensure Milu achieves its employment equity objectives and proper implementation thereof.


Black Economic Empowerment

Milu have in place a five year BEE plan which has attained its third objective of 53.53% black ownership (36.15% black female). This has been achieved through an employee share incentive scheme which incentivises & rewards Milu management and long standing staff members.

Of equal importance to us are the Employment Equity goals and objectives of our clients. When procuring goods or services we utilise our discretionary affirmative procurement policy in favour of suppliers who show a strong commitment to Broad – Based Black Economic Empowerment as per the Codes of Good Practice issued by the Department of Trade and Industry based on their contributor status rating. We are committed to creating opportunities for employment within the disadvantaged communities, e.g., we are actively involved in taking work to a group called Masakhane in Hout Bay, which provides employment for the women from the Imizamo Yethu informal settlement.

Furthermore, when any project necessitates the employment of additional casual staff, we call upon a group of black males who have been trained by us to fulfil this role. As our contracted client base grows, we expect that these casual employees will be absorbed into the company as “permanent” full time staff members.
