China to Promote Personnel System Reform: Outlook Weekly

The personnel management system followed for decades in institutions across China is going to be reformed, according to China's minister of personnel.

The time is ripe for speeding up the personnel system reform in institutions, where 60 percent of the nation's professional and skilled technicians are employed, said Minister Song Defu, quoted by the latest issue of Outlook Weekly, which hit newsstands Monday.

An improved public servant system and personnel reforms in enterprises have led to the necessity of similar changes in the country's archaic personnel management system in institutions, according to Song.

The existing system established under the planned economy guarantees lifelong employment with the government acting as the employer.

As China is fostering a market economy system, the old personnel mechanism fails to meet the nation's needs and is to be phased out gradually, Song said.

The reform is characterized by a contract system under which staff members will not be guaranteed a permanent job, he said, adding that attention will be focused on the needs of specific posts when it comes to recruit new personnel.

Related laws and regulations taking place of state directives will be introduced into the new system. This is another major feature of the personnel management system reform, the minister said.

He stressed that the revised system is binding for those newly employed but may be loosened conditionally when applied to veteran staff members.

The minister called for the establishment of a corresponding payroll system, which places staff achievements as the sole evaluation criterion and means outstanding personnel will receive higher salaries.

The reform mainly covers the fields of science and technology, education, medical and cultural industries and will be eventually be carried out in publishing and media sectors.

Staff members who are not re-employed by their institutions are encouraged to hunt for jobs at business ventures initiated by the institution or other sectors.

Institutions are asked to make proper arrangements for these laid-off staff members and should not leave the burden of responsibility to society.

According to the minister, the draft of the reform regulations has been submitted to the State Council for examination and approval. The Ministry of Personnel is now formulating policies concerning personnel examination and supervision.
