B-BBEE and Human Capital Strategy

B-BBEE stands for Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment, which is a policy framework in South Africa that aims to promote economic inclusion and transformation for historically disadvantaged groups. Human Capital Strategy is the process of planning, developing, and managing the human resources of an organization to achieve its strategic goals.


To incorporate B-BBEE into your Human Capital Strategy, you need to consider the following steps:

  • Set clear and realistic goals for your B-BBEE compliance and transformation, aligned with your business vision and mission.

  • Analyse your current B-BBEE status and identify the gaps and risks in your Human Capital practices, such as recruitment, retention, training, development, performance management, and succession planning.

  • Define the objectives and initiatives for each of the B-BBEE elements that affect your Human Capital, such as Ownership, Management Control, Skills Development, Enterprise and Supplier Development, and Socio-Economic Development.

  • Plan and implement the initiatives in a coordinated and integrated manner, ensuring that they are aligned with your Employment Equity Plan and Skills Development Plan, and that they create value for your stakeholders and beneficiaries.

  • Monitor and evaluate the progress and impact of your B-BBEE initiatives on your Human Capital and business performance, and report on them transparently and accurately.

  • Review and revise your B-BBEE strategy regularly, taking into account the changing business environment, legislative requirements, and best practices.


By following these steps, you can ensure that your B-BBEE strategy is comprehensive, effective, and sustainable, and that it enhances your Human Capital Strategy and competitive advantage.
