Opportunity Details
The Public Service Commission is developing a Career Management Policy aimed at reforming career progression and strengthening human resource management in the Public Service. Commission Chairperson Francis Meja has noted that the proposed policy seeks to transform how careers are managed by introducing a more integrated, flexible, competency-based and performance-oriented system.
He said this in remarks read on his behalf by Commission Vice-Chairperson Mrs. Mary Kimonye during the Stakeholder Feedback Consolidation Workshop held at the Kenya School of Government, Lower Kabete, on 28th August 2026.
“Once implemented, the policy is expected to mainstream best practices in human resource management, including career planning, career pathing and career development. It will also strengthen linkages with other human resource practices, prioritise resources for career management and broaden employee development to include coaching and mentorship,” said Mr. Meja.
The Commission Chairperson also called on participants to objectively analyse feedback received from the public participation exercise conducted between 10th June and 13th July 2026.
“This workshop provides an opportunity for us to consider the views collected from the stakeholders for incorporation into the Policy document. Let us take this opportunity to clarify outstanding issues and ensure that the final policy is coherent, fair, practical and implementable,” he said.
The proposed policy provides for greater career mobility through vertical, horizontal and diagonal movement. It also introduces dual career paths for technical and professional cadres, allowing highly skilled public officers to progress either through managerial positions or specialist and expert pathways.
The one-day workshop brought together PSC Commissioners, Deputy Commission Secretaries, Directors and senior management officials from the Ministry of Public Service and Human Capital Development.
