EOH achieves level 2 BBBEE rating

April 2013 News

Technology outsourcing and managed services company, EOH, has increased its Broad Based Black Economic Empowerment (BBBEE) rating from Large Enterprise Level 3 to Large Enterprise Level 2 contributor. This shows a huge commitment to BBBEE and is underpinned by the following statistics: 34,6% Black ownership, 60% Black board representation, 59% Black employment equity and 156% BEE procurement recognition.

On the social investment front, EOH is involved in maths and science improvement projects in many schools as well as people upliftment programmes and other initiatives aimed at breaking the cycle of poverty. “EOH recognises that one of the biggest problems facing South Africa is youth unemployment,” says Pumeza Bam, EOH HR director. “We have recruited 620 learners and interns, which account for about 15% of our permanent workforce. Through sharing these experiences we believe we can have an impact on South Africa’s youth unemployment problem.”

Over the past year EOH has grown all areas of its business and views business growth as the catalyst in solving unemployment. “The technology market is a growing market and with our outsourcing, cloud services and application skills we aim to continue developing and nurturing a much bigger skills base,” concludes Bam.
