An online template has been developed to enable government departments to submit reports on the implementation of two Directives on compulsory capacity development and competency-based assessment for Members of the Senior Management Service (SMS) in the public service.<\/p>\n
Public Service and Administration Director-General, Ms Yoliswa Makhasi recently issued a circular to all Heads of both national and provincial departments containing two Directives.<\/p>\n
The first Directive is on compulsory capacity development, mandatory training days and minimum entry requirements for SMS, while the second Directive is on competency-based assessments for SMS in the public section.<\/p>\n
According to Ms Makhasi, the two Directives require both national and provincial departments to report on the implementation of these Directives on an annual basis.<\/p>\n
To adhere to the requirements of the Directives, the Director-General said: \u201cDepartments are requested to submit implementation reports to the Department of Public Service and Administration (DPSA).<\/p>\n
The reason for requesting departments to provide 2021\/22 data on, according to Ms Makhasi, is that the competency assessment results are valid for 18 months.<\/p>\n
She further said in those 18 months, senior managers are expected to have addressed the identified development gap(s) through relevant capacity development interventions.<\/p>\n
\u201cDepartments will not be able to access the reporting template for capturing after 31 July 2023, since this is the due date for submitting the reports,\u201d said DG Makhasi.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
