About Us

Through 17 years of dedication and hard work, Cresco Consultants managed to create a reputation for the delivery of reliable, high-quality management and mentoring alternative to compliance.

Our Journey

From humble beginnings in 2002 the business grew in structure and services offerings

We expanded across three different areas of compliance:

  • Skills Development
  • Employment Equity
  • Occupational Health & Safety

The name Cresco means “grow” in Latin and it is a name that was intentionally chosen to support vision to catalyse and achieve constant growth in businesses.

We initially established the business to provide consultation services to private training providers wishing to accredit within the framework of the National Skills Development Strategy published by government. A few years later, Cresco Training and Development CC was established to futher expand our offering in the learning & development field.

While making waves in what was then Skills Development, in it’s infancy stages in South Africa, we realised that our area of expertise overlapped with the various pieces of equity legislation in the country.

Through 17 years of dedication and hard work, Cresco Consultants managed to create a reputation for the delivery of reliable, high-quality management and mentoring alternative to compliance. This offers a solution to the often inconsistent management by internal staff, who often do not have the time or specialized skills to manage and steer these intricate processes.

We therefor expanded from solely offering services to Training Providers, into a wider service base to offer a multitude of Human Resource related services to corporate and medium enterprise organisations.

Are you in need of compliance support?

If you have more than 50 employees, you are required to have employment equity targets and to report on the achievement of these targets to the Department of Labour annually.

Is your staff on top of latest legislative developments?

If you are over the turnover threshold for your industry, you are required to have employment equity targets and to report on the achievement of these targets to the Department of Labour annually.

Is your company at risk due to non-compliance?

Did you know failure to comply with the requirements of the Act can lead to hefty fines by the Department of Labour.

Who We Are

Our Philosophy

Our upbeat approach sets us apart and we will guide you towards legal compliance. We believe that work and play goes hand-in-hand, making the dirty work seem effortless. We closely consult with management on decision making and encourage conflict management techniques through open communication channels between managers and staff. We assist you enough to allow you to focus on your core business without disempowering individuals or disregarding management authority in the process.

We strongly believe in the “practice what you preach” principle. We believe in true and authentic transformation and collaboration. Our business is 51% Black Woman Owned and we believe that we are not only talking the talk, but we are walking proof of how these collaborations can create wealth and empowerment for all. Trust and good partnerships have nothing to do with the colour of a person’s skin.
