Introduction
As many of you already know, we have expanded our service offerings with the establishment of two separate divisions: Solutions Services and the Drake Training Academy. Solutions Services renders national services on all issues relating to Human Resources and Labour Law. The division is headed up by subject matter expert, Dave Pattle. As a former practicing Labour Law attorney, he has a wealth of experience on all matters relating to the inherently dynamic employment relationship. With a national attorney network, together with various subject matter experts – Solutions Services will be able to assist you with any of your Human Resource or Labour Law Challenges.
Solutions Services also offers a range of Talent Acquisition and Management Solutions that fall within the realm of Human Resources and Labour Law. These would include our well known and online P3 behavioural assessment tool which enjoys multiple points of application in the workplace including performance profiling, leadership synergy and employee engagement, to name a few.
The Drake Training Academy is an accredited and specialist training provider of Learnerships, Skills Programmes and in-house Short Courses. As a training provider our aim is to deliver practical and effective training so your organisation will profit in productivity and engagement and therefore positively impact your ROI. We pride ourselves in being learner-centric and offering customisable training solutions.
The impact of COVID 19 and Governments response to it by way of Regulations has had a massive impact on business in South Africa – indeed the world over. Most business have had to change the way they operate. At the very least, they anticipate that some degree of TRANSFORMATION is required.
Solutions Services and the Drake Training Academy are perfectly placed to partner with you to help you negotiate your way practically and lawfully through the inevitable changes that need to be made in your business.
We are excited to share with you an 11- month TRANSFORMATION support webinar series where we will alternate between Solution Services and the Drake Training Academy by way of the type of content that we will cover. The overarching theme is TRANSFORMATION – we want to focus on what we anticipate you will require most to help you over the course of 2021.
Where possible we also want to link our Talent Management and Talent Acquisition Services to the content so as to provide insight as to how these services can assist you given the topic that we will be focusing on. Below / attached you will find our schedule. The Webinar series is free. All participants will be provided with a copy of the slide deck utilised for the purpose of the webinar. Webinars will usually take place on a Wednesday and will typically be of an hour duration. Some of the topics that we will unpack over the course of a month may require more than one webinar given the breadth of the topic.

The way forward
As most of us return to work after some time off, and in keeping with our national efforts to flatten the curve of the second wave – we ask you to please remind your employees about their responsibilities, not only as employees but as citizens of our amazing country.
There is little to no point in having our employees adhere to protocols in the workplace, only to flout them when they leave. Education, Policy and adherence are critically important at this time. Should there be evidence of an employee’s non-compliance with Governments Regulations pertaining to their conduct after hours and or company property – it needs to be understood that the employer has the right to discipline employees for this conduct. While we accept that adherence is not only common sense but easy; it remains true that some employees need to be reminded of this.
A policy coupled with an effective roll out can make a positive contribution to our response to this pandemic.
