New talent management system to transform public service
The Department of Human Resources is expected to soon launch an innovative talent management system which is set to modernise the government’s onboarding and employee management processes.
Dubbed TALEO, the new system targets individuals eyeing careers as public officers. Persons will gain access via the government’s website.
TALEO is designed to provide a seamless experience for job seekers, from viewing current job openings to applying for positions and tracking the status of their applications through personalised accounts and email updates.
The government said the new initiative will facilitate a more transparent, accountable, and efficient hiring framework in the public service sector.
As part of this transformation, Human Resources personnel across the Public Service are actively participating in training sessions, gearing up for TALEO’s full-scale rollout.
Permanent Secretary in the Office of the Deputy Governor, Sharleen DaBreo-Lettsome, praised the new development and emphasised its broader implications.
“There is a need to completely reimagine the way we manage human resources in the public service,” she stated. “This transformation is a major step as we forge forward with our vision for a more lean, efficient and technologically advanced human resources programme.”
TALEO is also aimed at improving communication channels and officials said the enhancement would expedite the orientation process for new hires.
One of TALEO’s key features is its interactive application tracking capability, which keeps applicants informed at every stage. It alerts them to any missing elements in their applications, schedules interviews, and allows them to monitor their application’s journey through the system.
The implementation of TALEO is a key element in the Department of Human Resources’ pursuit of a ‘New HR Vision for the Public Service’ and this vision is committed to meeting the diverse needs of various demographics.
Outside of recruitment, TALEO is expected to enhance overall employee management within the public service. It will empower human resources professionals to better manage the career movements of existing public officers, facilitating opportunities to explore different fields and departments within the government.
Once the training phase has been completed, TALEO will be fully launched and will be followed by efforts to educate the public on its functions and useability.

How will this alleviate alleged cronyism, nepotism, incompetence and unfair practices within the system?

This system (if appropriately applied as described) may show something that everyone already knows: too many unskilled labour as part of the government payroll dragging down efficiencies and effectiveness. Keep it up Premier; how come they say you are s!0w and only surround your self with scared “yes” men and women dubbed Luarna in the Corna and the a$$ c!0wn brigade
This has to be today’s smile.
The problem with the Civil Service is a whole heap of square pegs in round holes and lack of relevant competence at the top of the organization. The low pay means they have not been able to attract appropriate talent and to motivate what talent they already have. Another big problem is the political interference and hijacking. They have complete control of the Civil Service and manipulate just about every aspect. Absolutely nothing happens unless the minister’s whim allows it regardless of the evidence. Yet they keep bawling about the Governor and Deputy Governor.
Human resources Department is a waste of time paying these officers in varying departments whò don’t inform their staff about anything,
