📋 Tender Overview
The government's new personnel strategy renews HR policy and steers central government personnel management towards a more harmonised one. Its aim is to improve management and productivity and to harmonise the operating culture of government organisations. Government agencies play a key role in putting the strategy into practice.
The central government employs approximately 80,000 officials and employees in more than a hundred organisations, and the strategy will provide agencies with the support they need for human resource management. The strategy was prepared in cross-administrative cooperation between hundreds of people. It also promotes the employer and administrative policy objectives of the Government Programme.
"Good, well-functioning central government is a strong factor behind Finland's success. It is important that the state's human resource management is developed as a systematic, people-oriented entity that creates a basis for success. The agencies are responsible for their own human resource management, but the common strategy gives us a strong backing and a clear common direction for public management in the midst of the transformation of work and the renewal of operating methods. The new strategy takes into account, for example, the reconciliation of work and other areas of life," says Minister of Local Government and Regional Affairs Anna-Kaisa Ikonen.
Vision 2030: The state is a human-sized, inspiring and attractive workplace
The vision and key objectives of the HR strategy have been drawn up in cooperation with government agencies. The strategy has three main objectives:
Our operating culture is responsible and based on shared assessments.
Our management is people-oriented and ensures productivity and profitable operations.
Our renewing HR policy enables success.
This is the first joint personnel strategy for central government. It covers the Government Programme's entries especially on leadership development and the availability of personnel, but it extends beyond the Government Programme until 2030. The previous document guiding central government personnel management – the Government resolution on the central government personnel policy issued in 2001 – also outlined operations for more than 15 years.
