Finding Pearls in Life’s Ocean

“ULwandle means ocean, which is a symbol of power and strength.”

ULwandle means ocean, which is a symbol of power and strength. Just like the ocean our business is expansive, flexible and a constant that you can rely on to remain relevant in the ever-changing landscape of South African Business.

ULwandle HR’s goal is to ensure that employers and their employees enjoy a harmonious relationship while remaining practical for both parties and compliant with labour legislation. We consider a job well done when employers comply and when employees get what is due to them as per legislation. We are transparent and negotiate in good faith.
