The public service in Jwaneng has been informed that the soon to be introduced fan-based compensation structure aims to develop the public service remuneration policy in such a way that it will attract, retain, and motivate employees.

Speaking at a consultative meeting with the public servants  in Jwaneng Monday, the Director of Public Service Management (DPSM), Ms Gaone Machola said the fan-based compensation model would cater for those reaching the ceiling of their payment band to at least be rewarded for performance even if there were no vacancies to progress to.

Ms Machola further implored the employees to always align their work to mindset change, be innovative and provide better customer service.

She urged them to utilise the resources at their disposal in their departments prudently because most of the time the budget was too little to work with.

Some members of the public service expressed dissatisfaction with the new compensation structure, saying it might not be a viable option for those with a few years in service.

Additionally, they said lack of resources might hinder performance.

They therefore requested government to address such concerns before implementing the new pay structure. ENDS
