Sanlam Sky Solutions acknowledges that Employment Equity is an appropriate response to eradicate historical employment imbalances. The Employment Equity Act of 1998 is an enabling tool to achieve an environment free from the discriminatory barriers of the past. 

Employment Equity should facilitate, particularly for designated groups, access to training, career opportunities and promotion.  Sanlam Sky Solutions, through employment equity initiatives, would like to continue to enjoy a diverse workforce that is efficient and competitive.  The company views employment equity as a tool to assist in the achievement of certain business objectives. 

Successful implementation of Employment Equity is not negotiable and all Managers are encouraged to commit themselves to achievement of its objectives.
