The Government as Employer

The Government creates preconditions for success and welfare for our entire society. A sound management of human resources advances the service capacity and efficiency of the Government’s operational units in their functions and their societal influence.

The Government as employer seeks that its operational units, which function in the service of citizens, enterprises and communities, are innovative and forerunners in their own task areas. As part of the public sector, public administration is responsible for a vast and diverse field of tasks and assignments, including the judicial system, the security of citizens, education, science and culture in addition to other basic functions and the sustainable development of society. 

Primary responsibility for personnel and for good management of human resources lies with each of the Government’s operational unit. Centrally made definitions of policy and the development of human resources anticipate changes in the common operational environment and create frameworks and conditions for favourable employer operations.

With kind regards,

Teuvo Metsäpelto
Director General, Office for the Government as Employer
