Broad-based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE) Policy |
|
Vuma has attracted high-profile and exceptionally skilled black communication experts, and as a result our team is 80% black.
Vuma is dedicated to imparting skills and knowledge in order to grow the team into management positions. Reputation management is a very unique and niche environment that demands an intimate understanding of business, media and communications.
We are currently engaged in negotiations to strengthen our empowerment status.
At Vuma we believe in adding value to South Africa and its communities. As part of our drive to be B-BBEE compliant and do the right thing; we freely share and impart knowledge, train and lecture, and get involved with various projects and causes; for example:
- We offer Eden Campus Project pro bono PR & Marketing services on a regular basis. We were recently involved in a TV advert placement for Eden Campus on CNBC Africa, which was kindly sponsored by CNBC Africa in the hope of raising public and mainly corporate awareness to the unique project and its importance to society. We have mentored and coached some students from Eden Campus on communication and business skills.
- We have assisted a number of young people entering the work place with career advice to ensure they are "work-ready"
- We have played an advisory role to various members of the IWFSA in addition to coaching up and coming business women
- We have recently become a member of the IoDSA, which gives us an opportunity to network and open gateways for more development and lifelong learning
- We have been approached by the IABC Pretoria Chapter for a Reputation Management workshop for Tshwane University of Technology on how to recover from a crisis
- We freely accept ongoing invitations to engage with youth and business and speak for free at events for communities and causes such as Bagale Seminars
- We provide monthly training workshops to upskill our own team in order to credit them as reputation management experts - there is a shortage of such experts in South Africa. The workshops are as follows:
- Importance of reputation mManagement
- Unlocking shareholder value
- Media relations and your company
- Behind the scenes in the media world
|
- Crisis communication
- Stakeholder reputation management
- Writing skills
- All other training offered by Vuma
