I was privileged to have facilitated a 1-day Interpersonal Communication Skills webinar for a large learner group of S.A managers on 23 October 2025, hosted by SA Labour Guide. Thanks to Vaden Shiplee Pietersen & Tshifhiwa Makungo and their fellow learners for being such an engaging, learning-receptive group, who were so transparent and generous with their experience and knowledge sharing - much appreciated. The learner feedback and response was very favourable. During this interactive webinar, I systematically navigated the delegates through the following key learning outcomes: ✔️ Evaluating interpersonal communication effectiveness ✔️ Assessing interpersonal communication style ✔️ Mastering of non-verbal communication, empathic listening and (corrective) feedback skills ✔️ Understanding and applying communication patterns/tones ✔️ Identifying and improving barriers to interpersonal communication ✔️ Applying Emotional Intelligence (EQ) and interpersonal relationship building skills ✔️ Implementing employee engagement strategies Thanks to the Labour Guide management team for this training collaboration opportunity and the continued business support - much appreciated. Thanks to Hanlie Rouan, the Course Coordinator, for her efficient training administration and online support. I look forward to ongoing learning partnering later in November 2025.

Throwing in the Towel in Tolerable Circumstances When resignation may only be the calm before the storm. Receiving an employee’s resignation may appear to signal the end of an employment relationship; however, this may only be the calm before the storm – a case later referred as a constructive dismissal. In a conventional dismissal, it is the employer who puts an end to the contract of employment by dismissing the employee. Conversely, in a constructive dismissal, it is the employee who terminates the employment relationship by resigning due to the conduct of the employer. The employee bears the onus of proving that resignation was not voluntary and that the employee never intended to terminate the employment relationship, showing instead that the employer made the relationship intolerable. The Courts have identified this enquiry to be whether the conduct of the employer rendered continued employment “intolerable” for the employee.

The truth and a competent verdict – A fair dismissal for refusing to submit to truth verification testing Between 2020 and 2022, SAB’s Isando Depot suffered repeated robberies, resulting in stock losses of approximately ZAR 14.7 million. Despite upgrading its security features after each incident, the thefts continued, prompting suspicion that certain individuals with insider access were involved or had shared critical information with the perpetrators. In line with its policies, SAB launched an investigation involving all employees and service providers with stock-related access.

Flexible working practices: Balancing business needs and employee preference Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic and the lockdown regulations that followed, most workplaces implemented traditional norms in relation to regulating working hours. Employees were expected to report to work at a certain time, were entitled to a meal break, and exited the workplace at the end of the workday.
