[on.cc East Network News]The government is establishedcivil servantAcademy, and hopes to enhance the leadership skills of civil servants. The Legislative Council Committee on Civil Servants and Staff of Subsidized Institutions discussed relevant matters today (15th). Some members asked how to maximize the influence of the seminars. Since the society reported that civil servants are not motivated enough, they pointed out that They put “too much emphasis on protecting themselves,” and the authorities said they might use mechanisms to force civil servants with poor performance to retire.

The government pointed out that the Civil Service College is constructing a plan to strengthen talent cultivation. Different from a single leadership training project, the plan aims to become a talent incubator, emphasizing continuous and in-depth cultivation to comprehensively and systematically cultivate governance talents. The plan will bring together various departments to nominate potential personnel at different ranks and receive targeted training on a regular basis, allowing them to accurately grasp the governance philosophy and policy thinking of the governance team, broaden their horizons, and establish a common sense of values ​​and mission.

The plan will use different forms of training activities, including key leadership training courses, mainland and overseas training, special seminars, interactive exchanges with governance teams and leaders from all walks of life, online learning resources, etc., to continuously improve students’ leadership knowledge and skills. and ability. In addition, the program includes personal development guidance to promote self-reflection, learning and growth among participants. Some of the plans include co-organizing the Master of Public Administration program with Peking University, the lecture series “Bringing North and South: China in a Multipolar World” and the lecture series “National Foreign Affairs”.

Councilor Tse Wai-quan asked how to maximize the impact of the seminars. He pointed out that the society reflected that civil servants were not motivated enough and that they “emphasized too much on protecting themselves.” Councilor Kwok Wai-keung asked if there were any actual results or cases from the training.

The Secretary for the Civil Service, Mrs Yeung Ho-Bei-yin, said that leadership development does not mean that you will have immediate changes following studying. For longer training, such as courses at Peking University that require the submission of papers, civil servants who have studied the courses will also be required to share with their colleagues following returning to Hong Kong. Learning content, and leadership training also needs to train people-oriented spirit and teamwork spirit.

Councilor Chan Chun-ying asked if there is any systematic record within the government of using low records in these training courses as a reference for future promotions or transfers. He also questioned whether each department would send the “fittest” people to participate in these programs, because the best-performing employees If you suddenly leave for 3 months, the department will feel “easy to kick”.

Yeung Ho Bei-yin said that the training that every colleague has participated in is recorded, and electronic records are currently being developed to facilitate the reference of supervisors and the Civil Service Bureau. For example, she said that when she was “not that high-level or that high-level”, she would think “you still call me training” , but said that training is a change in thinking, letting departments know that training can reserve energy for them. There are also courses that designate civil servants who have the potential to be promoted to senior levels to participate. Regarding paid training and training amount, civil servants need to commit to the next three or two years. Will continue to serve the government.

Councilor Zhou Xiaosong said that the private sector transfer scheme was mentioned in 2009. He said he believed that the arrangement might broaden his horizons. Asked whether there is such an arrangement now, Yeung Hebei-yin said that in the past, administrative officers went to private sectors to work temporarily, but this has been stopped in recent years due to the epidemic. Now it is discovered that there is insufficient manpower and it is necessary to “restore order” and re-examine whether the private sector is suitable, but she emphasized that civil servants will now be temporarily stationed in the mainland and other departments.

Councilor Liang Ziying asked whether there were improved courses for civil servants with poor performance. Yeung Hebei-yin said that if civil servants are not a problem of mentality or motivation, but of certain abilities or the ability to cooperate with other people, such as language skills, reception skills, etc., there are courses. Let them receive training, and provide departmental counseling for mental issues, and even use mechanisms to force them to retire.
