At the Deaf Empowerment Firm (DEF) we have a purpose – We provide our clients with solutions that add value to their diversity and inclusion strategies and contribute to their business’ bottom line.
Our vision is to create an economic eco-system inclusive of members of the Deaf community so we match this vision to our client’s transformation strategies. The aim being to reduce the very high unemployment rate of Deaf people in South Africa by providing solutions that allow our clients to tap into this under utilised work force and maximise their participation in our economy.
Our solutions to our clients place value rather than compliance at the centre of their transformation, diversity and disability
inclusion strategies as we believe that employers cannot build back better with a narrow compliance focus. Our clients build
back better by maximising the worth Deaf employees bring to their businesses.
We strive towards supporting the full realisation of the mandates provided by the Legal framework in our country as they relate
to work, employment and rights of persons with disabilities thereby creating for our clients the opportunity to benefit from
these provisions.
For the past years since our inception in 2015 we have been providing solutions to our clients that have catapulted their
diversity and inclusion strategies and given them the opportunity to become part of the inclusion agenda of our country.
Our driving philosophy is this;
Our approach is aligned to talk to our clients’ transformation policies, create value proposition with tangible outputs and integrate Deaf individuals within corporate South Africa and communities at large. Our clients have found value in the solutions we provide to enhance their business strategies as well as their role in our country’s inclusion agenda.
The intention of DEF is to be part of the solution in integrating South Africans with disabilities into the economy, create awareness and contribute meaningfully to creating space for economic participation by members of the Deaf community.
All our services are structured to enhance the client’s transformation strategy. We believe inclusive transformation and integration is a sustainable strategy for any company’s growth and therefore invite you to partner with us for effective realization of your company’s transformation goals!
The Deaf Empowerment Firm (DEF) is a diversity and inclusion solutions social enterprise working to fulfil the needs of South Africa’s rapidly changing business environment by providing transformation solutions to our clients that enhance the growth and sustainability of their businesses and make a positive impact on the business bottom line.
For historical reasons and based on the fact that Deaf people in our country face additional barriers to economic emancipation, our focus is mainly on the transformation of the economic empowerment landscape for members of the Deaf community.
