DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR Conclusion 52

CONCLUSION The Department’s actual annual performance is 42% . The implication is that 58% of the planned work in the APP could not be achieved. The major challenge faced by the Department in the financial year 2014/15 has been shrinking financial resources which had a huge impact on the human resources of the Department as vacant positions were not filled. This has had dire consequences for service delivery as inspector posts, Employment Services Practitioner posts and Client Services Officers were hardest hit by limited funding. The high targets set by the DoL at the onset of the financial year could not be met as human resources got depleted and were not replaced during the past financial year. The filling in of critical posts in 2015/16 will alleviate the performance challenges. Targets have been revised in line with the capacity of the DoL to implement. The newly adopted legends have drastically increased the standards of performance in the DoL. Performance below 100% is regarded as incomplete and this has had a huge impact on the overall performance of DoL.

Thank You…
