CHIEF DIRECTORATE PEOPLE MANAGEMENT PRACTICES

A high level of people management governance maturity has been instituted within all people practices. The focus will therefore remain on talent attraction and retention. The people policy renewal programme will be driven, people management analytics and intelligence reports will be provided to enable evidence-based people decision-making; workforce plans and Employment Equity (EE) plans developed, and people management compliance reporting done within the prescribed timeframes. Talent sourcing services will focus on sourcing or replacing of critical skills. Grievances, misconduct cases and disputes will be handled and finalised in a fair manner. Performance administration and consulting services will guide people managers in respect of effective management of performance, poor performance and incapacity. Service benefits and leave will be captured and consultancy services will be provided to ensure compliance to legislative prescripts and the effective management of people. • Values based recruitment and performance management: Values need to be evident in all people practices and it will be done by including values in the recruitment process and a 360 degree values assessment will be developed to be included in the performance assessment process. • Diversity, inclusion and belonging: Whilst pursuing employment equity as a transformational tool to create a diverse workforce it will not leverage the dividend of a diverse workforce unless inclusion and beloning is evident in the workplace. A diverse and inclusive organisation drive innovative results and a diverse and inclusive workplace, where employees’ well -being and psychological safety are particularly important and part of feeling a sense of belonging, will position the WCG as being the Employer of Choice and assist in attracting and retaining the required talent. The following two initiatives will be initiated within 2023/2024:
