GUIDELINES FOR DEVELOPING A TRANSFORMATION PLAN
17
Strategic Thrust 1 (ST1) is closely related to the PSD as it involves human resource management
(HRM). The approach for ST1 is developing HRM process cycle designed to change attitudes and
enrich the knowledge and skills that will improve the performance of public servants. This cycle takes
into account the three main phases that public servants go through: pre-service, in-service and post
service. It starts with attracting talent, followed by performance management, career, succession
and leadership. The development of learning and capability of public servants is given priority to
enable them to focus on performing tasks in line with current needs and demands. Performance
planning, incentives and evaluation mechanisms must take into account transformation objectives:
to produce public servants who are able to deliver the best of service to the people. Post service is
also emphasised to ensure the well-being of pensioners.
STRATEGIC THRUST 1 – Revitalising Public Servants
Aims to produce highly knowledgeable, competent, talented and skilful public servants in various
fields in order to increase performance, productivity and innovation.
