The Department of Employment and Labour will be conducting the 2019 Employment Equity Roadshows in the form of workshops throughout the country. 

The national series workshops/roadshows will start on 20 August 2019 at The Kimberley Club at 42 Currey Street in Kimberley in the Northern Cape. The workshops will end on 26 September 2019 in Johannesburg.

The objective of the roadshows is to create awareness on compliance with the Employment Equity Act, share the most current information and help prepare employers to submit full and accurate EE reports online to the Department. This year's workshops will focus on the following:

• EEA4 – an Income Differential Statement. Following the repeal of the form in the regulations employers will now have to report on remuneration data
• International Labour Organization (ILO) Convention on elimination of violence and harassment in the 'World of Work'
• Commission for Conciliation Mediation and Arbitration (CCMA) presentation on cases of violence, harassment and dispute resolutions.
  
   
  
  The theme of the EE workshops is: “Real transformation makes business sense".   
  
   
  
  The workshops are aimed at employers or heads of organisations, academics, assigned senior managers, consultative forum members, human resource practitioners, trade unions representatives and employees.
  
   
  
  The rest of the Roadshows are lined up as follows:
• Rustenburg (21 August 2019) – Orion Hotel, 1 Donkerhoek Road
