PRINCIPLES

The Government establishes four main principles which guide us in our work. We have adopted the following additional principles to guide departments in their Human
Resource Management work:

• The Government should be a good employer; 

• People are our most important asset; staff are recruited and their careers managed on the basis  of merit;

• Staff should take their share of responsibility for developing their potential; 

• Staff management is the responsibility of all managers;and

• Departmental Human Resource Management plans must be guided by departmental plans and objectives.
