Improving labor productivity in the public sector is not just about shortening the time it takes to process documents, but more importantly, about enhancing the quality and efficiency of public service delivery. This is an urgent requirement in the process of reforming the operation of the administrative apparatus.
The above content was the focus of discussion at the scientific conference “Improving labor productivity in state administrative agencies and public service units in Ca Mau province,” held on the morning of November 12th, organized by the People’s Committee of Ca Mau province in coordination with the Vietnam National University Ho Chi Minh City.
Comrade Nguyen Minh Luan, Member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Vice Chairman of the Provincial People’s Committee, chaired the workshop.
Over the past period, through administrative reform and digital transformation , working methods in many agencies and units have been gradually reformed; the sense of responsibility of officials, civil servants, and public employees has been enhanced.
However, labor productivity in the public sector remains uneven. Some officials lack initiative and creativity; their skills in working in a digital environment do not meet the requirements. The quality of human resources, especially at the commune level, does not meet the job requirements, and the shortage of specialized IT personnel, along with limited capacity in data exploitation, connection, and management, is affecting the operational efficiency of agencies and units.
Vice Chairman of the Provincial People’s Committee Nguyen Minh Luan emphasized the need to shift from evaluating productivity based on processes to measuring it by output products, quality, and actual work efficiency.
Speaking at the workshop, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People’s Committee Nguyen Minh Luan requested experts and scientists to focus on analyzing bottlenecks and proposing feasible solutions that are relevant to the province’s practical needs. This includes prioritizing the improvement of institutions, mechanisms, and policies; developing human resources; and ensuring the necessary conditions to enhance labor productivity.
Numerous experts, scientists, and delegates attended the workshop, exchanging experiences and sharing perspectives on solutions to improve labor productivity in the public sector.
One of the issues raised by the province is the development of a set of indicators to measure labor productivity in the public sector, specifically defining outputs and evaluation criteria for each agency, unit, and job position.
This provides a basis for reforming the methods of evaluating officials, civil servants, and public employees towards a more substantive approach, using work results and quality as the benchmark, and overcoming the situation where evaluations are heavily focused on procedures and formalities.
Associate Professor Dr. Nguyen Ngoc Kha, Senior Lecturer at the Vietnam National University Ho Chi Minh City, contributed to the discussion on solutions for human resource development, enhancing digital skills, and innovating public sector governance methods.
At the workshop, experts and scientists emphasized the role of data in governance, innovation in training and development, and enhancing the adaptability of staff to the demands of digital transformation.
The scientific arguments and practical experiences shared at the workshop will serve as a basis for the province to research and select appropriate solutions, aiming to build a professional, modern, effective, and efficient public service system, with the satisfaction of citizens and businesses as a measure of success.
