The Southern African-German Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SAGCC) is pleased to invite manufacturing HR professionals to an exclusive HR Roundtable, kindly hosted by our member, KSB Pumps and Valves.
As employees continue to face increasing financial pressure despite being formally employed, organisations are challenged to balance competitive remuneration, employee wellbeing, and long-term business sustainability. This interactive session will explore how manufacturing employers are responding to evolving workforce expectations, rising living costs, and financial wellbeing challenges in the workplace.
The roundtable will provide a platform for peer-to-peer exchange, benchmarking of practices, and discussion of practical solutions to support employee sustainability while maintaining organisational competitiveness.
Discussion Topics
- Compensation and benefits trends
- Employee financial wellbeing initiatives
- Cost-of-living pressures and inflation impacts
- Reward and retention strategies
- Housing affordability challenges
- Workforce sustainability and employee resilience
- Best practice sharing across the manufacturing sector
Target Audience
