Human Resources

In the 2007/2008 strategic planning process, the Board of Trustees identified the approval of an HR Strategy required to deal with the attraction, retention and overall wellness of human capital as pivotal.

Firstly the management of the HR portfolio needed to be dealt with, after which the recruitment of staff to support expansion of the NEF became a key operations target. The HR Department played a major role in the compiling a 90-day plan that sought to address mainly the following areas:

• staff resignations, and
• simplifying the recruitment process and finding innovative ways to fill positions efficiently.

The HR Department has been successful in appointing a total of 35 employees until March 2009. To date, the NEF staff complement has grown to 104 employees. In terms of employment equity, the NEF employs 93.5% Black employees, 57% of which are female.
