The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) has launched a draft recommendation on Public Service leadership and capability for public comment.
The recommendation presents 14 principles of a fit-for-purpose Public Service under three main pillars.
The OECD said these were a values-driven Public Service; a trusted and capable Public Service and a responsive and adaptive Public Service.
It said the draft recommendation would be circulated publicly for consultation until 14 September.
“It is still a work in progress at the OECD and the content may be subject to modifications, including in order to take account of comments received through the public consultation,” the Organisation said.
“Responses will be analysed and the OECD may publish them, but only in an aggregated and anonymous manner.”
It encouraged governments, recruitment managers, human resource officials, international organisations, academics and individuals to participate in the consultation and help shape the future of employment and leadership in the public sector.
It said OECD recommendations were adopted by the OECD’s governing body, the Council, and resulted from the substantive work carried out in the Organisation’s committees and their subsidiary bodies.
“This particular draft recommendation was developed by the OECD’s Working Party on Public Employment and Management,” it said.
“If approved by the Council, the recommendation will form the basis for OECD reviews, for the development of performance indicators, as well as for the design of a publicly available toolkit that adherents will use to help them implement the recommendation.”
