Developing HR Competencies Title
TC
HR practices and policies are a key factor in ensuring the recruitment, retention and development of talent. To ensure that HR competencies in the Public Service are relevant and in line with industry standards, PSD endeavours to equip HR personnel in the Public Service with relevant knowledge, skills and tools so that they develop HR practices and policies which are aligned to the business goals of their agencies.


We do this by:
Blue Arrow
Building up knowledge of emerging HR trends and best practices among HR personnel in PSD and Ministries, by sharing industry HR practices and offering key HR services via the Civil Service intranet.
Blue Arrow
Monitoring the status of HR in the Civil Service and anticipating future HR needs, through the publication of strategic HR reports.
Blue Arrow
Engaging senior leaders and HR staff on strategic HR issues, through platforms such as HR Roundtables on current HR issues, and regular meetings with HR Directors from Ministries and Statutory Boards.


PSD has on hand, a team of account managers who assist government agencies in their HR operations by providing specialised knowledge and expertise. This can be in the form of value-added input on specific projects, or customised training for HR professionals at different stages of their career, using a HR core competency framework that has been mapped out together with the Civil Service College.
