شركة قابضة مُمَكِّنة / شركة قابضة لتمكين الفئات المحرومة سابقاً


Explanation:
I don't think that it is a proper name for a company. The context is South African and refers to the 'empowerment' process of previously disadvantaged groups in the society.

It is important to realise that there are many empowerment companies in South Africa. Larger companies frequently spin off empowement subsidiaries.

شركة قابضة يشارك الموظفون في إدارتها


Explanation:
I found this meaning which, I think, suits the context:

Empowerment:
Form of Participative Management where employees share management responsibilities, including decision making. Self-directed work teams are an outgrowth of empowerment where employee groups establish and implement their own work goals.

I think we can say:

شركة قابضة لا مركزية
because management in this case is decentralized

provided there is nothing in the context which indicates otherwise

As another colleague indicated, "empowerment" is actually used in the context of Black Economic Empowerment:

Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) is a program launched by the South African government to redress the inequalities of Apartheid by giving previously disadvantaged groups (black Africans, Coloureds and Indians) economic opportunuties previously not available to them. It includes measures such as Employment Equity, skills development, targets for ownership, management and preferential procurement.
تمكين السود من المشاركة في النشاط الاقتصادي

In this case, I am not sure to what extent my answer is still valid.
