ECONOMIC DISRUPTIONS ON THE W&R SECTOR – W&RSETA SURVEY
(KwaZulu-Natal, Gauteng and Western Cape stakeholders, only)

Stakeholders are invited to participate in the W&RSETA Economic Disruptions
survey. In this survey, approximately 7000 stakeholders will be requested to
respond to a set questions about the impact of the recent economic disruptions
as a result of the unrests in KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng. Importantly, the
survey seeks to determine the training needs that have arisen as a result of the
disruptions, consideration for blended learning approach, and the immediate
response for economic reconstruction and recovery.

It will take approximately 7 minutes to complete the questionnaire. The primary
objective of the online survey is to understand the impact of the recent economic
disruptions on the Wholesale and Retail Sector, training, and the interventions
that the W&RSETA should prioritise to support companies to rebuild the sector.

Participation in this study is completely voluntary and participants may withdraw
from the survey at any point should they feel uncomfortable answering any of
the questions. Stakeholder input based on this survey will assist the W&RSETA
to obtain information on the impact of recent economic disruptions in the
Wholesale and Retail Sector from employers in order to determine possible areas
of support.

Your responses are strictly confidential and data from this research will be
reported only in the aggregate.
For any queries related to the survey, you may contact Mxolisi Maphakela at
mmaphakela@wrseta.org.za or 074 2422 683.
