webfact Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Govt to recruit skilled persons BANGKOK, 8th May 2017 (NNT) – The government is keen to recruit people with high potential to serve the country in the hope of achieving sustainable development. Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha, today disclosed that in February the cabinet had ordered the Office of the Civil Service Commission (OCSC) and the Office of the Public Sector Development Commission (OPDC) to revise employment terms for better incentives, compensation, and other benefits in order to attract competent workers. According to the prime minister, persons with knowledge and skills will be the engine driving the reform transition, thus the government is looking for candidates. Realizing the importance of human resource development, Gen Prayut said he had instructed related agencies to develop a curriculum for comprehensive training to be given to government officers, with the aim of attaining improved work efficiency. The government in March launched a leadership skills training course for high-ranking officials, to help them to keep abreast of what’s going on in this digital-changing society. -- nnt 2017-05-08 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smiley Face Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 That's good news. That means both of the highly skilled Thai will have jobs. Then they'll have to settle for incompetent Thai for all positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksidedog Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 For this to have any chance of success, a work permit will need to be part of the package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezzra Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 (edited) The problems is that Thais don't have the sense of loyalty or pride in their work place, I have learned the hard and costly way long time ago that Thai workers will get up and leave at the first sign of discontents with other employees or managements, and if someone else offer them a bit more money in salary......

I can't imagine the newly hired bright sparks will be happy working for the existing lot of entrenched, un-incentivized, poorly compensated incompetents who purchased their jobs for various undisclosed sums of money. But this, and the leadership/management training, presuming it's worth a <deleted>, is a good idea. Have to start somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaah, knowledge and skills, that must have been the reason behind the sputtering start of the police reforming the police which started 3 years ago and has since been forgotten... knowledge and skills are all good, but that's stuff you can learn... What about dedication, pride in your work, a sense of honor, doing the right thing? These are values that need to be instilled especially into future civil servants and public office holders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
