Levy Africa Network was appointed by Telesure International Holdings (TIH) to implement gender-based violence and harassment training across their organisation and covering circa 4,500 employees. Working closely with TIH’s D&I, Wellness, HR and L&D teams, Levy Africa Network developed a series of bespoke programmes cascading the programme from the HR/ER team, to all managers and supervisors and then the entire employee complement.
Delivered both in person and online to employees around the country, the gender-based violence and harassment initiative has helped highlight the extent of gender-based violence and harassment in South Africa, sensitize staff to what is and is not acceptable behaviour, and the resources offered by the organisation.
