An independent authority tasked with submitting proposals to the government concerning appointments for senior civil servant positions, will soon become a reality. The goal of the project, which is led by the main civil service union (Fedeca), is to depoliticise the senior administration. In practice, the authority will propose three candidates whose profiles and skills correspond to the vacant position and the executive branch must choose one of them.

Thirty years after its entry into force, the government wants to renew the State Sector Act. In terms of HR, the primary goal is to provide greater flexibility in workforce management by encouraging mobility between administrations, which is seldom used. The bylaws will be harmonised, personnel services will be pooled and a dedicated unit for senior managers and executives will be created.

The GEAR (Government Effectiveness Advanced Research) Center is a major project for the US federal administration. To build the skills of two-thirds of its employees, a research centre will be opened – a public-private partnership with major firms and universities. One of its four remits will be to "explore creative ways to develop, reskill and redeploy the public-sector workforce".
