Abstract

This study aimed to determine how training experts perceived performance management, training needs analysis (TNA) and training intervention. A literature review revealed that similar research is underresearched in the South African context of state-owned enterprises (SOEs) operating in the water sector. This study was conducted to address this gap. A qualitative cross-sectional research design was used, and it was interpretive. After reaching a saturation point, 24 participants took part in the study. The data were collected using semistructured interviews and were analysed in ATLAS.ti. The study results showed that employees’ performance contracts and appraisals propel managers to develop employees’ development plans. It was further established when line managers did not have a training budget; they should send employees’ development plans to the human resource development division or the skills development training committee. In addition, it was found that the skills development training committee should be transparent and fair in approving employees’ training applications. In addition, training priority should be on employees in the lower stratum, and it must be competency-based so that employees are certified. Employees might be motivated to attend training if it is linked to recognition and promotion when vacancies arise.
