From Reform to Transformation: What Results? KNTC EMPLOYEE SATISFACTION
GETTING RESULTS: LINKING PAY TO PERFORMANCE TO MOTIVATE PUBLIC SERVANTS • Top performing institutions get performance bonuses: • Promotions are now being pegged to performance more than longevity; • The Salaries and Remuneration Commission has been set up to: • Set and regularly review the remuneration and benefits of all State officers; and • Advise the national and county governments on the remuneration and benefits of all other public officers. • Salaries in the public sector will therefore at the very basic be set according to job evaluation and responsibility on the job. Promotions and payment of any work related bonuses will be pegged on performance.
THE CHALLENGE OF DESIGNING “GOOD ENOUGH” PERFORMANCE MEASURES AND RESULTS FRAMEWORKS • In-adequate linkages between Kenya’s long term Vision 2030 and the Medium Term Plan to Strategic Planning and realistic targets; • Discordance between public perception and ranking tools such as Performance Contracts as well as between public expectations and actual service delivered; • Gaps in institutional structures/arrangements; • Lack of mechanisms to verify reported performance.
