SayPro Identify vacant, redundant, or duplicated positions within SayPro
SayPro Workforce Optimization and Efficiency Initiative
Title:
Identify Vacant, Redundant, or Duplicated Positions Within SayProPrepared by: SayPro Strategic Planning Office
Under the Authority of: SayPro Operations Royalty
Date: 21 May 2025
1. Purpose
This initiative aims to enhance organizational efficiency and strategic workforce deployment by systematically identifying positions within SayPro that are:
- Vacant (unfilled roles currently on the organogram),
- Redundant (no longer aligned with strategic or operational needs),
- Duplicated (overlapping roles across departments or functions).
The goal is to enable resource reallocation, reduce structural inefficiencies, and support evidence-based HR decision-making.
2. Objectives
- To develop a centralized inventory of all positions, including filled, vacant, redundant, and duplicated roles.
- To identify cost-saving opportunities and enhance workforce productivity.
- To ensure SayProโs structure is aligned with current and future strategic priorities.
- To inform decisions on recruitment, redeployment, and rationalization.
3. Methodology
3.1 Data Sources
- SayPro Human Capital Mapping Plan
- HRIS records and payroll system
- Departmental organograms and SCOR-1 Reports
- Performance reviews and job descriptions
- Departmental consultation workshops
