According to the Communications and International Affairs Department of the Municipality of the Metropolis of Arak, a specialized meeting of the committee for establishing the performance management system, aimed at improving organizational efficiency and accurately measuring activities, was held under the chairmanship of Abolfazl Faraji, Deputy for Planning and Human Resources Development of the Arak Municipality.

Performance management; a powerful arm of organizational efficiency

At this meeting, Abolfazl Faraji, emphasizing the need to transform traditional evaluation systems, noted: The performance management system is a key tool for improving the efficiency and effectiveness of the organization. By relying on international standards and drawing on the best human resource management practices, we are seeking to establish a system that plays a central role not only in setting goals and evaluating performance, but also in developing the individual and group capabilities of employees.

Smartening the evaluation process with the Simorgh system

The Deputy for Planning and Human Resources Development of the Arak Municipality continued by referring to the operational phase of this plan and added: In order to increase transparency and speed up supervisory processes, specialized training workshops have been held for working with the performance management software (Simorgh). At present, the technical infrastructure of this software has been installed, basic information uploaded, and the evaluation structure in key departments including the Planning Deputy, the Inspection Department, and the Information Technology Organization has been successfully defined.

Developing capabilities; the ultimate goal of performance management

Faraji stated that performance management goes beyond a simple statistical measurement, and emphasized: Our main approach is for the output of these evaluations to lead to the real improvement of employees' capabilities. In the first step, and to officially launch the project, the necessary access will be granted to manager users and regular users, and in later stages, the evaluation structure of other deputies, affiliated organizations, and municipal districts will be defined and integrated into the system.

This action by the Municipality of the Metropolis of Arak is considered a strategic step toward realizing fairness in the payment and reward system, and optimizing human capital.
