HUMAN RESOURCE SERVICES
DRG Siyaya is a black female owned human resource
management organisation, with a big and exciting
future. Registered in 2006, as a SANAS accredited
B-BBEE verification agency – amongst the first
eleven to receive such accreditation, built upon
a comprehensive and rigorous quality assurance
process.
After seven years as a B-BBEE verification agency,
the owners, in the belief that stakeholder interests
would be better served by a different model, took
the strategic decision to develop DRG Siyaya as
the country’s first human resource (HR) advisory
franchise operation.
Confidence in doing this was inspired by two factors:
ƒ As a member of the DRG Outsourcing
group of companies it had access to a wealth of
practical knowledge and expertise. Also, a
proven administrative resource
ƒ CEO David White, drawing upon his eight-year
career with the Shell SA retail team building a
network of franchise outlets with special
emphasis on emerging service station operators
The inspiration to recreate DRG Siyaya as a
human resource franchise facilitator came from
a growing awareness of many smaller human
resource companies, operated by highly competent
individuals, hampered by not having the stretch in
products and services to realise their full potential.
This restriction was due to their operating within a
limited niche areas of human resource management
e.g. recruitment, training or, employee relations.
DRG Siyaya’s model encourages human resource
companies to consider the benefits of being part
of a larger group of human resource practitioners
in sourcing knowledge, expertise, branding,
administrative support, and opportunities to deliver
their unique expertise within the DRG network.
DRG Siyaya aims to develop a significant clientele base,
