Public Service and Human Resource Management

Professional, responsive and accountable public servants acting with integrity are key for high-performing public administrations. HRM planning must be evidence-based and recruitment based on merit, with effective performance management. Remuneration and working conditions should be competitive and fair with clear, defined rights and obligations for civil servants. Top management must be competent.
