The National Council of and for Persons with Disabilities (NCPD) estimates that over two-thirds (68%) of disabled adults in SA were not working last year, and the economic impact of Covid-19 is likely to exacerbate this figure.

Many companies were hoping for a B-BBEE break in 2020 as businesses and bottom lines struggled with the burden of Covid-19. Unfortunately, this was not to be the case - and nor will it be in 2021. Many B-BBEE champions within businesses will be expected to maintain (or even improve) their current level with ever-increasing budget cuts and cash flow pressure. This can feel like an impossible task.

As hundreds of thousands of matrics write their exams right now, both these students and their families are no doubt wondering what kind of future lies in store for them next year. With our employment rate hitting an all-time high of 30.8%, and the ravages of Covid-19 still being felt across the country, job opportunities are more rare than ever. Undoubtedly, in today's competitive job market, there is no room for being just another face in the crowd. You have to separate yourself from the competition and be more appealing to potential employers. It's much easier to achieve this if you create a personal brand for yourself.

How has your internal communication and workplace culture changed during lockdown? Do you think it has changed or has it remained the same? What systems do you have in place to gauge and keep track of your team's morale, engagement and culture? It is important to remember, that your employees are the ambassadors of a company's reputation. Their behaviour and interactions with others are a direct reflection of your company, which ultimately impact your reputation. Do their actions reflect one of pride for the company or are their comments rather snide? "What gets built on the inside, gets reflected to the outside world," shares Chris Bischoff, reputation manager at Reputation Matters. "Reputations are an inside out approach. You can't build a solid reputation by only focussing on external stakeholders and communication channels."
