A level 2\nBEE status is awarded to companies that score more than 95 but less than 100 of\nthe allocated points on the BEE scorecard. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jeanne\nNkuna, LanDynamix Operations Director, said: \u201cIn our case we scored 96.91\nout of the possible 100 points. The score then needs to be evaluated\nagainst all five elements of BEE, namely equity ownership, management control,\nskills development, enterprise and supplier development as well as\nsocio-economic parameters. All of these categories are given different\nweightings.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Peter\nClarke, MD and founder of LanDynamix, added that it is quite an achievement due\nto the stringent industry sector requirements for businesses categorised in the\nQualifying Small Enterprise (QSE) arena. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOur BEE\nrating is hugely important to us and we attribute this success to the fact that\nwe have done this in the right way,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAll too\noften it can end up merely a smoke and mirrors exercise with many companies\nfailing to understand how important these ratings are and how they can be\nsignificantly beneficial to both staff and the organisations with which they\npartner.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Clarke said\nthe Level 2 rating is an incentive for other companies to do business with\nLanDynamix as this in turn improves their score. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt has a knock-on\neffect as they can use our certificate for their compliance and vice versa,\u201d he\nsaid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe other\nside of the coin is that without this compliance business can be lost to\ncompetitors \u2013 some entities only deal with compliant suppliers. So,\nhaving this rating effectively means we can win business with non-compliant and\ncompliant companies alike.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Clarke\nhighlights the foundation of the LanDynamix Employees Trust as one hugely\nsuccessful example of the tangible staff benefits of the company\u2019s approach to\nBEE. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Trust\nwas established to benefit previously disadvantaged employees who are\neligible to own shares after one year of full-time permanent employment in\nthe organisation,\u201d says Clarke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dividends are paid annually to the beneficiaries and the longer the\nemployee has been with the company the higher their economic benefit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cStaff are now owners in the business and benefit economically from the scheme,\u201d added Clarke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFor me, this is hugely rewarding as I see it as the right way to be\nsuccessful in business by empowering our staff and making them owners and\npartners also.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He says\nemployees also gain immense benefit from the skills development perspective –\none of the main priorities of the company. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe have\nplaced great emphasis on training initiatives to develop the skills of all\nstaff but with particular focus on the previously disadvantaged,\u201d said Clarke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe are also investigating more programmes including internships and the youth employment service (Y.E.S) and in doing so to further contribute to absorbing more people into the workforce.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n LanDynamix \u2013 a leading specialist cybersecurity solutions and managed services company \u2013 has announced the achievement of a Level 2 BEE rating for the second year in a row.
