Employee performance management Employee performance management is a
continuous process of planning, managing & development to: positively influence employee behaviour for the
achievement of the organisation’s strategic goals; determine the correct activities as well as the evaluation
and recognition of the execution of tasks/duties with the aim of enhancing their efficiency and effectiveness; and
improve results from the Department, teams and individuals by understanding and managing performance within an agreed framework of planned goals, objectives, indicators and support incentives.

Performance agreements (1)
Objective of timeous submission of PAs is to ensure that early in the financial year EAs and HODs clarify performance expectations as well as development needs for the year
PA a common reference point for the EA and HOD to monitor, review, account for and improve performance
HOD’s PA is to be cascaded down to the PAs of the rest of the staff in the department – this makes the signing of the HOD’s PA critical

Performance agreements (2)
PSC report on implementation of HOD Evaluation Framework (2006) Compliance rates unsatisfactory At the heart of the problem was failure to sign and submit
performance agreements (PAs) Various reasons why PAs not entered into Some executive authorities (EAs) not performing their role
as provided for in the framework In some cases there are disagreements which are not
mediated and remain unresolved Key recommendation that steps be taken to ensure
timeous signing of PAs as the critical first step

Performance agreements (3)
DPSA report on the signing of PAs by HODs (October 2006) 85% of departments responded to the survey 78% of SMS from national departments had signed PAs 80% of SMS from provincial departments had signed PAs Reasons given for not signing
PAs were in the process of being signed Members are on sick leave, maternity leave, unpaid leave,
suspension or about to retire Establishment changed during the SMS cycle Disagreement with supervisors regarding KRAs Unavailability of supervisors to agree to and sign PAs
Critical success factor was management’s ability to undertake people management

Organisational performance
• Organisational performance is the ability of an organisation to use its resources efficiently, and to produce outputs that are consistent with its goals and objectives and relevant for its clients and stakeholders
• Organisational performance comprises the actual output or results of an organization as measured against its goals and objectives and intended outputs
• Of equal importance are the outcomes and impact of organisational performance – did the outputs (results) lead to the desired outcomes? Did they have the required impact?

Focus areas and issues
Greater emphasis is required on organisational performance as a system, with employee performance management (appraisal systems) as sub-systems or elements
Greater emphasis is required on linkages between integrated planning, implementation and reporting - and performance management
Greater emphasis is required on linkages between employee appraisal results and the state of organisational performance
