Input: South Africa's truth commission begins issuing subpoenas this week in a bid to dig beneath the political rationales and find the sinister figures who have the blood of the country's race war on their hands.

South Africa


Input: Leaders of the major parties involved, from right-wing whites to radical blacks, appeared before Archbishop Desmond Tutu's Truth and Reconciliation Commission last week to paint the broad picture of their actions for or against apartheid.

Input: But none named those guilty of ordering or carrying out any of the gross violations of human rights which Tutu is investigating.

Input: Human rights lawyer Brian Currin said the hearings last week were not intended as a form of confessional and that those who personally committed crimes during apartheid would testify only before a separate arm of the commission, the amnesty committee.

Brian Currin


Input: " I don't think one should have expected more than what one got, " he said. "


Input: That was not the amnesty committee where perpetrators are expected to open their hearts and souls and to tell it all. "


Input: The commission, which has the power to grant amnesty to those who confess to abuses, has begun hearing the testimony from people already in jail for their deeds.


Input: But others, such as self-confessed secret police hit-squad leader Dirk Coetzee, have yet to testify.

Dirk Coetzee


Input: Tutu's deputy chairman, Alex Boraine, told reporters the commission would begin issuing subpoenas to suspects who refused to appear voluntarily some time this week.

Input: He added that former hardline apartheid president P.W. Botha could be among those called.

Input: But Currin, who is advising several people regarded as perpetrators, said this was not the best way to achieve the commission's aims.

Currin


Input: " A person can be forced to appear, but the only way one is going to get to the truth in its totality is if people feel it is a good idea to go to the amnesty committee.


Input: At the moment this is not the case. "


Input: He cited Coetzee, who was charged with murder after confessing in media interviews to dirty tricks.

Coetzee


Input: His trial is due to start in December but the truth commission intends to decide on his amnesty application before that.


Input: Currin said the law had to be changed so all judicial prosecutions were automatically suspended for those who approached the truth commission.

Currin


Input: Last week's submissions to the commission by the ANC, de Klerk's National Party and the right-wing Freedom Front of General Constand Viljoen left many South Africans unsatisfied.

America


Input: What it comes down to is this: If you're highly skilled, you'll benefit nicely.


Input: But if you're not and cannot contribute to your employer's goals, you'll be paid less.


Input: The survey, conducted in late 1995 and the early part of this year by management consulting firm Towers Perrin, showed that the focus will be on an employee's overall value to the company's bottom line -- rather than how well an employee performs a specific task.

Towers Perrin


Input: Presently, for example, if an accountant's job involves doing five specific tasks, he or she can expect a certain salary, said Sandra O'Neal, a Towers Perrin principal.

Sandra O'Neal

Towers Perrin


Input: In the future, the accountant will be evaluated solely on " knowledge, skill and abilities, " she said.


Input: In addition to using accounting skills, the accountant will also have to be creative, work well in a team, be sensitive to customer needs and set productivity goals.


Input: " The good news is, if you're highly skilled and have many abilities, you'll be paid more, " said O'Neal.

O'Neal


Input: " The bad news is, if you're not skilled and can't contribute to a team, to customer service and the organisation's goals, you'll be paid less. "


Input: Of the 750 mid-to-large size corporations surveyed, 81 percent had undergone a major restructuring in the last three years, and more than two-thirds reported that productivity and profits were up as result.


Input: Next on the agenda for these firms is developing a new compensation structure, and 78 percent report that they are considering a new, skills-based plan for both management and non-management employees.


Input: This coming shift, O'Neal said, " is not just isolated or a fad.

O'Neal


Input: It's an inexorable change. "


Input: After World War II, corporations adopted a " military model " creating hierarchical organisations where " the concept of defined tasks worked great, " she said.

World War II


Input: But as the economy became global, customers were more demanding and problems became more complex.


Input: " Multi-layers kept management at a distance from its customers, " O'Neal said.

O'Neal


Input: Now organisations must change to stay competitive.


Input: O'Neal says firms will place a greater emphasis on teams and team performance in giving raises.

O'Neal


Input: If your team does well, you'll do well.


Input: If it doesn't do well, don't expect a raise.


Input: Is this fair to an employee who can go the distance but is on a team that can't keep up?


Input: " That's an important question we used to ask a lot, " said O'Neal. "

O'Neal


Input: It's not a question we ask any more.


Input: The more important question is --' Do we have results?'


Input: To get those results, 27 percent of the companies surveyed plan to eliminate base pay increases in favour of cash bonuses and incentives, such as employee and team award programmes and education.


Input: Companies that can change their culture and view employees as business partners will do well, O'Neal said.

O'Neal


Input: For example, the survey rated some participants in the survey as " high-performing " companies, based on their return on equity above 16 percent.


Input: Those companies also said they already offer employees variable pay and business education, give their managers more control over pay decisions and celebrate employee and team success.


Input: " They respect employees more, they trust employees more and they value their employees more, " O'Neal said.

O'Neal


Input: " The key to success at high-performance companies is engaging employees in a business partnership.


Input: It will improve a company's bottom line. "
