Private firms in Oman can use government evaluation system

Muscat: Private sector companies are welcome to use the new evaluation system being rolled out for many government employees, which come into effect in January 2022. According to an official from the Ministry of Labour, the new system evaluates employees based on the quality of their performance within a certain timeframe, which can range from three to six months, depending on when assessments are conducted. "This system is currently being developed for the government sector, such as public agencies, organisations and institutions, but it does not prevent a private sector company from applying this system," said the ministry official. "We welcome their intentions to adopt this system, if they so wish." "There are many who have attained leadership and administrative positions because of their efficiency and performance," he added. "They are still in the prime of their youth and have not achieved them simply because they have many years of experience. Employees' future chances of promotions and incentives will depend on how efficient they are, and their performance levels." The implementation of this new system will help achieve the objectives of Vision 2040, under the leadership of His Majesty Sultan Haitham Bin Tarik, who had mentioned in his speeches that
