The Government's management of human resources is a planned approach to managing people effectively for performance. It aims to establish a more open, flexible and caring management style that will encourage and enable staff to do their best to support the department's mission.

To achieve this aim, the following six principles have been adopted:

• The Government should be a good employer;
• People are our most important asset;
• Staff are recruited and their careers are managed on the basis of merit;
• Staff should take their share of responsibility for developing their own potential;
• Staff management is the responsibility of all managers; and
• Plans drawn up by departments to manage their human resources must be guided by the department's plans and objectives.
