Управление карьерой и служебно-профессиональным продвижением государственных гражданских служащих в федеральных органах исполнительной власти Российской Федерации

Abstract

The President of the Russian Federation Decree dated May 7, 2012 No. 601 «On the main directions of improving the state management system» has set the
 need to improve career planning and management of civil servants in Russia. Present-day system of civil servants’ career management and promotion planning
 functions insufficiently and fails to meet the current requirements as well as encompass the whole range of personnel management activities to be realized.
 Unfortunately personnel management has not yet been prioritized as one of primary focuses for federal executive bodies, nor most ministries, agencies and
 departments have introduced local norms and standards to regulate personnel management services. Still personnel managers’ activities are little more than
 organizing and facilitating recruitment and selection, appraisals, qualifying examinations, record keeping, personal information verification and workplace
 discipline control. As for civil servants’ career management, it is relegated to the background or is totally ignored. Thus the paper considers ways to codify in
 legislation a set of functions for personnel management departments of federal executive bodies and entities of the Russian Federation and analyzes to what
 extent personnel management departments of various federal executive bodies function in accordance with the requirements of correspondent legislation in
 effect. The author also provides a set of recommendations aimed at enhancing personnel management activities and the list of functions needed to better plan
 and manage careers and official and professional promotion of civil servants, meaning that this list embraces the whole range of general scientifically-based
 functions designed to improve personnel management effectiveness in the federal executive bodies.
