Gov't forum reviews Public Service and Administration Commission achievements - Jordan News
Gov't forum reviews Public Service and Administration Commission achievements The Government Communication Forum held a meeting with media representatives on Wednesday on the Public Service and Administration Commission's achievements and aspirations in its second Year. اضافة اعلان The commission's chairman Fayez Al-Nahar said his institution carried out its new role in drawing up policies, technical and advisory support, and oversight and compliance. He went over the stages of the commission's establishment, the reasons for change in its roles, and areas of work, which include leadership, human resources, government services, joint services, corporate culture, organizational structures, and institutional planning and development. Al-Nahar said the new public sector recruitment strategy primarily relies on open advertisements, noting that the commission has carried out 70 percent of recruitments through open adverts and only 30 percent were via the available competitive inventory, which will be canceled entirely by 2027 with the aim of ensuring fairness and equal opportunity for all. The public sector recruitment strategy, he said, currently adopts an integrated approach to keep pace with transformations in human resources management and ensure optimal utilization of national competencies, as it starts with proactive planning of job needs through the Human Resources Planning Committee. Job openings are then announced on official websites and daily newspapers, ensuring transparency and equal opportunity, he added. Government entities, he said, screen applications and identify a list of candidates according to the job requirements, and competencies are then assessed using specific tools and criteria, including tests and personal interviews with a focus on skills needed, knowledge, and behaviors. Interviews are conducted by specialized committees, while the Competency Assessment Center offers various tools to objectively evaluate applicants, enhancing selection accuracy, added Al-Nahar. Ministry of Government Communication Secretary General Zaid Nawaiseh said the Public Service and Administration Commission was established after implementation of the public sector modernization roadmap began, and that its outcomes are in line with the political and economic modernization scheme as a gateway to the second centennial of the Jordanian state. The commission, he said, began work on the human resources system and amendments to the civil service system, which he called "a historic transformation" in Jordanian public administration.
