We strive to empower broad-based ownership where employees benefit from the business. It is time that South Africa makes the shift to an all-encompassing model where everybody in the business benefits from the hard work that the team delivers.
The association has been established as an Ambassador or Voice of Employee Owned Businesses / Enterprises in South Africa. Currently, in South Africa, we have companies that would like to transform to include BEE in their companies, however, they are not aware that they can use Employee Ownership as another vehicle to transform. Most of the companies don’t know where to go for advice or structuring. Policies are not favourable to promote employee ownership. No funding is available to promote employee owned business. Some workers receive loans and it takes more than 8 years for Trusts to repay back the loans before they can see real returns. However, the loan term period is also based on the performance of the company.
Employee Ownership in other countries is used as a vehicle to create jobs, contribute to economic growth, reduce poverty levels, reduce migration from one town to the other, improve the socio-economic livelihoods of employees.
