Dear Comrades,
With the
objective of promoting a paperless regime and better human resource
management, the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) has launched
an e-service record book portal for government employees.
“Under the
personnel information management system of e-office, the DoPT has
extended the facility to its employees to view their service book
online. All the other ministries have been advised to extend the
facility to the civilian employees working under them,” said an
official.
Earlier
documented in paper files, the service record provides information on
various portfolios and posts held by a particular government employee.
“In future, it would also prove to be of great assistance in efficient
management of human resource. The system can facilitate work allocation
based on the skills and experiences of the employees under consideration
for a particular post or department,” said the official, adding that
the priority is to pick the best and suitable candidate for better
output.
The DoPT
has also launched a Basic Leadership Skills Module for Central
Secretariat Services officers at the Institute of Secretariat Training
and Management. The module is expected to equip civil servants with the
skills that help them function efficiently in a complex and challenging
environment. “All levels of civil service need to be trained in
leadership skills so that they impart their duties effectively,” said
the official.
The Department plans to introduce similar modules for mid-level and advanced leadership skill development.
