Appraising the performance management practices in the Department of Labour

The effective management of individual/team performance is a crucial requirement to ensure that
organisational goals are attained. This requires accurate data regarding the performance levels of
individuals/teams. Therefore there is a need for a standardised and formal performance
management system.
An effective performance management system is the centre of an integrated HR system that feeds
into a variety of processes and systems such as career planning, rewards, training and
development, promotions, and disciplinary decisions. Despite the importance of performance
management, most organisations find it difficult to implement, manage and sustain performance
management systems and processes effectively.
The focus of this study is on appraising the performance management practices in the offices of
the Department of Labour in three provinces: Gauteng, Limpopo and Mpumalanga. The results
indicate problems with the practices in areas such as alignment, fairness, measuring commitment,
systems integrity, and the performance management culture. Recommendations were made to
address these issues and improve the effectiveness of the system / Human Resource Management / M. Tech. (Human Resource Development)
