Violeta Alexandru, a former Labor Minister, criticizes the way the budget system works and draws attention to the fact that every lion must work in difficult situations.
“The problem is not freezing or reducing the salaries of public employees. Perhaps some (some!) Deserve even more than they earn today. Perhaps some departments / services / institutions are no longer justified, in terms of efficiency. The problem is the lack of correlation between income and efficiency. The problem is the evaluation of people in the public system, an evaluation that, today, is inadequate, from my point of view.. More depending on the results of the institution (not even the very ambitious ones, according to my taste) and using less objective criteria anyway ”. considers the former Minister of Labor, Violeta Alexandru.
“The administration evaluates itself, so to speak in Romanian. The evaluation system is made in such a way that it is almost impossible to evaluate individual performance because, in the culture of public administration, no one takes responsibility. Be wrong? And admit it? It doesn’t exist. Everything is perfect. ” I see the biggest problem with managers and bosses. As long as there is no organizational culture that considers hiring as part of performance, we get stuck in the discussion about salaries. By the way, at the beginning of the year the 2020 performance evaluations continue. In each institution. I also saw good people in the administration. However, very few are willing to take a new approach. You should encourage them to start thinking of new solutions. At first it looks like you are setting them up. The famous “this is how it has been done in our country for years” is sacred. When you want to change / assign another position more according to their abilities, there are strikes, articles in the press, everything. As a dignitary with a focus on efficiency, you need complete trust and support (I would say every day) to be able to overcome “this is how it is done” or “you”. we left in x days, we stayed ”. As if when the leader is in good faith, both sides do not have a single goal: to adapt the administration of the times and to provide modern and quality services to the people. Violeta Alexandru continued.
“Every lion wins with hard work”
“Having the necessary conditions (confidence and support to make my own decisions no matter who was upset), I was able to make some changes exclusively evaluating the established and publicly announced performance indicators. Which gave a little value to good people. So, I had the opportunity to work with people of common sense in the administration (they are not all the same!) But who were totally demotivated by colleagues who were wasting their time, who did not assume anything, who did what was strictly necessary and worked and well. Under the protection of the legislation on civil servants, an Administrative Code in which the word performance is distorted and the precedent in the courts of which it makes no sense to speak. As things stand today, acting with management means, first of all, annoying. Inevitable. At any time, because situations always appear. The comfortable ones, those whose sole purpose is not to get out of comfort with new and efficient ideas (if they have them) to enjoy stability or even salary increases because they gain seniority or rise in the hierarchy, through a complex of circumstances. Upon acquiring seniority, the Order to sign the salary increase appears immediately. Before politics / central government, I worked in the private system. First of all, I, as a manager, but also those who have worked with me over the years, we knew that every lion is earned by serious work. Every day, including Friday until night. The salary is not earned without effort. When you know that only with the performance you earn your salary, you shoot, you don’t stay. When I had more difficult times, and I went through difficult times like everyone who works in the private sector, even if it was not possible to increase wages, I worked with the same seriousness. In fact, more seriously, to achieve a double performance that helps us to recover, to determine that clients pay, from their work, for the services we offer. I’m sure we will get there. Good luck to the government team! “Violeta Alexandru concluded the post on the social network Facebook.
The salaries of public employees will be frozen in 2021. The gross minimum wage, on the other hand, will increase by 70 lei.
