Personnel Policy of the RCC Member-States

One of the most important activities of the RCC Human Resources Development Commission is the development and coordination of new approaches to improve the personnel policy of the RCC Communications Administrations, including a wide range of issues covering the management and development of human resources, legal and social aspects.

The need for continuous improvement of personnel policy is due to the requirements of the modern communications and information technology market and the ongoing transformations in the industry. Under existing conditions, the determining factor affecting the competitiveness, economic growth and efficiency of communications enterprises is the availability of human resources capable of professionally solving production tasks. For effective personnel management, an enterprise needs a holistic system of work with personnel, which allows them to be managed from the moment of employment to the end of a career. In accordance with the realities of the time, within the framework of the RCC Human Resources Development Commission, recommendations were developed on the Personnel Policy of the RCC Communications Administrations (Recommendations), which were approved at the 39th meeting of the Communications Administrations Heads of the CIS Member-States (Decision №39/1-CIS).

The draft Recommendations contain 5 sections:

- “General Regulations”, which defines the terms used in the draft Recommendations, and indicates the purpose of the development of the document;

- “Trends in the reform of the communications and information technology industry in the RCC Member-States affecting personnel policy”, which includes information on ongoing changes in the RCC Member-States related to the development of market relations, the reform of the industry, the development of the latest information and communication technologies and etc .;

- “Recommendations on ensuring a coherent Personnel Policy for the RCC Communications Administrations”, which contains the directions in the field of personnel policies that are proposed to the RCC Communications Administrations for use in their work.

According to the members of the RCC Human Resources Development Commission, the prepared document contains regulations and recommendations that can be applied in all RCC Communications Administrations and will facilitate the work of personnel services in conducting Personnel Policies.
