Dear Eskom Rotek Industries colleagues,

Feedback on key Human Capital Management Projects
This communiqu serves as an update on the progress of a few projects run by Human Capital Management.
1.

MANAGERIAL RE- GRADING PROJECT

Bargaining unit jobs standardisation and re-grading was completed in March 2015. Human Capital Management then
embarked on the process to re-grade and standardise all T11-M18 positions. This process is on track and to-date, we
have only twenty five (25) positions outstanding. We are on track on this project and anticipate project completion by
the end of the 2015/16 financial year.
2.

PHASE 2 OF THE BARGAINING UNIT RE-GRADING PROJECT

2.1 Consultation
The consultation with the two unions, NUM and NUMSA is progressing well and the parties are having meaningful
engagements with regards to the above project. Consultation meetings with these unions have taken place on the
following dates in 2015
Monday, 12 October 2015
Thursday, 26 November 2015
Friday, 4 December 2015
Tuesday, 8 December 2015
We will continue with these union consultations and close off any outstanding issues.
2.2 Where are we to date?
The terms of reference have been concluded.
2.3 The way forward
We will resume the consultations in January 2016 and start to engage each other on the key issue of developing the
pay progression principles.
3.

PHASE 2 OF RECRUITMENT SHARE POINT IMPLEMENTATION

This project relates to the automation of the recruitment process whereby internal and external candidates can apply
for vacancies online using Share Point.
3.1 Where are we to date?

We implemented Share Point for employees in the T11 M18 categories as well as external candidates.
These candidates are now applying for vacancies using share point and no longer apply manually.

3.2 The way forward

4.

Implementation of Share Point for internal employees in the T10 T07 categories. This will mean employees
in these categories who have access to a computer/laptop will be able to apply for vacancies via share point,
and those employees who do not have access will still apply manually until the company has addressed the
issue of hardware and access.

E-Contracting / Performance Contracting

The objective of this project is to move from a manual/paper based performance management contracting process to
a system based contracting process. This will apply to employees in the T11 M18 categories
4.1 Where are we to date?

Super user and Train-the-Trainer training has been concluded for identified HCM and IM employees.
Pilot of the SAP system has also been concluded.

4.2 The way forward

Simulated training will commence in January 2016 for employees in management categories (T11 M18)
5. QUALIFICATIONS
The company has previously requested all employees to submit a certified copy of their formal qualifications to their
Training Business Partners. Thank you to all of you who already submitted. If you have not yet submitted your
qualifications or are not sure if HCM has your updated qualifications, please contact your Training Business Partner
Non submission will have serious bearing on some of the ongoing projects related to individual development,
succession planning and closing salary disparity gaps.
Please be on the lookout for detailed communication on some of these projects.
Should you have any further queries, please contact your Human Capital Management Business Partner on the
