1. BACKGROUND • In August 2002 the then Department of Arts, Culture, Science and Technology was split into two separate Departments of, • Arts and Culture and • Science And Technology. • The two Departments remained under one Ministry.
BACKGROUND (2) • The Department’s activities were then organised into four areas, namely: • Administration (Programme 1); • Arts and Culture and Language in Society (Programme 2); • Cultural Development and International Relations (Programme 3) and • Heritage, National Archives and National Library Services (Programme 4).
BACKGROUND (3) • The staff compliment of Department of Arts and Culture consisted of: • Total posts: 530 • Filled posts: 370 • Vacant posts: 160
BACKGROUND (4) • During 2004/2005 the Department of Arts and Culture moved from four programmes to six programmes, nl: • Administration (Programme 1) • Arts and Culture in Society (Programme 2) • National Language Service (Programme 3) • Cultural Development and International Cooperation (Programme 4) • Heritage Promotion (Programme 5) • National Archives, Records, Meta-Information and Heraldic Services (Programme 6)
2. CURRENT HR LANDSCAPE • The Department of Arts and Culture did not immediately embark on an organisational development investigation during its establishment in 2004. • Top Management then started with a process to re-align the functions, post establishment and organisational structure which was finalised in April 2006.
3. OD EXERCISE • The 2006 post establishment was never fully implemented due to the fact that Top Management realised that it did not completely meet the changed priorities of Government. • It resulted in the appointment of an external consultant to conduct a thorough OD investigation so that the organizational structure and establishment can be better aligned to the strategic objectives of the Department and the priorities of Government. • The OD investigation started 1 April 2008. • The final report was received in June 2009. • The MPSA concurred with the proposed revised establishment, on condition that funds are confirmed by Treasury and all positions be job evaluated.
4. Implementation of the revised structure • The Department envisaged a phased implementation of the structure due to the limited compensation budget and only a number of critical positions were identified to be filled during the first phase. • While the compensation budget was initially sufficient to fund the approved structure the following slide illustrates that the annual allocation percentage decreased over the past three years.
5. ANNUAL INCREASE IN ALLOCATION OF THE COMPENSATION OF EMPLOYEE BUDGET
CURRENT COMPENSATION BUDGET • 2011/2012 = R164 million. • Filled positions = R144,208 million • Minus other estimates to be covered from the compensation budget, for example, (pay progression, allowances, overtime, performance bonus). • Available budget: R6,296 million.
6. STATUS OF THE CURRENT ESTABLISHMENT AS ON 31 MAY 2011 • The following slides illustrate the promotions, appointments, race and gender distribution in the department as well as the vacancy rate, race and gender distribution per programme.
