MINSK, 12 June (BelTA) – It is necessary to approach personnel selection in an exacting and tough manner. Belarus President Aleksandr Lukashenko gave the relevant instructions as he met with top officials of the Belarus President Administration on 12 June, BelTA has learned.
Aleksandr Lukashenko described personnel management as the key area in the work of the Belarus President Administration. “Just like they used to say in Soviet times: the party relies on personnel,” he said.
“Every year we form and update the personnel reserves but once a job opening becomes available, we keep looking for a long time and we don’t find candidates for the open position right away. Even for the personnel registry of the head of state,” Aleksandr Lukashenko remarked.
In his words, some of the personnel management proposals submitted to the president lack polish. “The Belarus President Administration has to approach the selection of suggested candidates in a principled and tough manner. You are not allowed to make mistakes with regard to personnel,” the Belarusian leader stressed. “With your tentacles you have to see the personnel pool as a whole starting with collective farms, agricultural enterprises and ending with the top level. But you have to discuss proposals together before submitting them to the president. I simply warn you that the responsibility for personnel selections will be increased. If a good executive is available, then results are available. If there is no executive, then there is no result.”
