Office of the Commissioner for Public Employment State of the Service Report 2011 -12 16 EI 4 was amended to support the CEOs commitment to providing new supervisors with performance management training. The amendment requires agencies to ensure that supervisors responsible for conducting employee performance reviews have had adequate training on giving and receiving performance feedback within six months of commencing a position where they will be required to perform this function. The amendment came into force on 11 July 2012 and will be mandatory for all agencies in the next reporting period. However, in this reporting period, it is encouraging that 18 agencies indicated they ensured training was provided. The three agencies that indicated they do not provide training are very small agencies and one of them indicated its performance management and development system was still in early stages of application. As a relatively new requirement it is expected that compliance with the amendment will be achieved during next year.
