“Let’s restart from people”, the title of this three-day event, is very apt because the Public Administration is made up of 3.2 million people and I have learned that the success of organizations depends on the care of people, on the care of capital human – said Minister Zangrillo during his speech – you have to start with them. We are carrying out a series of initiatives in line with the commitments undertaken with the Pnrr, which refer not only to the modernization of our organization from within but also towards the outside and, therefore, with all the administrative simplification projects which are the ones they must allow us to have a more effective and direct dialogue with citizens and businesses.

L’Access to the PA: from the reform of competitions to the enabling levers for an effective recruitment policyfinally, was the focus of the panel organized by ForumPA in collaboration with Formez PA. In his speech, Cecilia Maceli, Director of the Competitions and Recruitment Office – Department of Public Administrationhe stated that the criterion of merit can be brought forward to the pre-selection phase. The PA must communicate itself better. Since January, the InPA tool has replaced the GU, where job supply and demand meet, even using a georeferenced map. You go looking for professionals by communicating an availability. Therefore I find today’s claim, “let’s start from people” interesting: it also applies to the PA, we are not looking for numbers, but real professionalism.
