People Management in the Public Sector
People management in the public sector has some particularities. Unlike what happens in the private sector, where the manager can hire individuals who present advantageous characteristics for the company, in the public sector, the law requires that contracts be made through public tenders. It is for this reason that, within the public sector, professional development actions are crucial, as the elements can learn to progress in their careers, and not only learn to fulfill their current roles more effective.
Those responsible for managing people in the public sector must know how to motivate employees, so that they feel that they are an important player in the company. If this happens, they will certainly perform better at work. In addition, the people management area is also responsible for exercising management practices, planning, evaluation and rewards, creating and maintaining a professional and positive environment in the organization.
