Only trained people

Let us tell you who entered the personnel register of Belarus

In February, the President approved the personnel register of the Republic of Belarus by signing Decree No. 46. Thus, a unified accounting system for senior positions at all levels of state management has been created. The personnel register is published on the National Legal Internet Portal. Shall we have a look
at who entered it?

Quality executives

What is public service? In accordance with the law, it is a professional activity of Belarusian citizens who hold public duties, carried out in order to directly implement state powers and/or ensure the performance of the functions of government bodies or officials of our country. 
The public service is based on the principles of the supremacy of the Constitution, service to the people of the Republic of Belarus, priority of human and civil rights and freedoms, guarantees of their implementation, legality, professionalism and competence of civil servants. Also among such principles are accountability of civil servants, personal responsibility for non-fulfillment or improper performance of their official duties, openness and transparency, efficiency, equal access of citizens to any public duties in accordance with their abilities and professional training.
The country should work effectively, not only in the short term, but also in the long term perspective.
Professor of the Department of Information Law of the Faculty of Criminal Police of the Academy of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor Aleksandr Ivanovsky is convinced of this, “Quality is determined not only by the structure of the economy, but also by the people making decisions. One of the ways to maintain a higher level of efficiency is to periodically change managers, so that there is no depletion of reserves, motivation or burnout. It is the personnel registers that solve the problem of finding trained people. They allow 
selecting those who can take on responsibilities, and forming trajectories of development for them.”
The expert drew attention to the following, “This is how the necessary reserves are formed. The question is extremely important. The idea is to provide high-quality management training that meets certain standards.
Moreover, ethical standards are envisaged, too. When appointing to a responsible position, it is necessary to submit to the relevant authorities a declaration of income and property not only of the candidate, but also of their family. If for some reason the applicant does not do this, they should explain it and submit a declaration later.”

Common approaches 

The personnel register is an accounting system for public positions of government agencies. The Head of State’s decree signed on February 5th is one of the elements of the consistent implementation of the state personnel policy and the institute of public service in our country.
According to Aleksandr Gordeychik, Director of the Research Institute of Theory and Practice of Public Administration at the Presidential Academy of Management, Candidate of Historical Sciences, “In compliance with the Programme of socio-economic development for 2021–2025 approved at the sixth Belarusian People’s Congress, it is necessary to ‘form a state apparatus capable of predicting demand for current requirements of society and work ahead of the curve’. In accordance with the instructions of the Belarusian leader, a new concept of the state personnel policy was prepared with the participation of the management and researchers of the Academy of Management, inter alia. It is symbolic that this document was approved in January by Presidential Decree No. 1. The concept notes that ‘the implementation of the state personnel policy is carried out by building systematic work by managers on the selection and placement of personnel, creating conditions for their consolidation’.”
The Director of the Research Institute of Theory and Practice of Public Administration summarised, “The approved personnel register of the Republic of Belarus is a consequence of the implementation of unified approaches to the formation and realisation of the state personnel policy established by the concept. The creation of a unified accounting system for senior positions at all levels will contribute to the effective solution of responsible management tasks at the national and local levels.”
