Key concerns raised include decreased quality of public services, lowered sector efficiency, increased anxiety among employees, lack of loyalty, favoritism and nepotism, early retirements, loss of jobs for expatriates, financial strain on the Social Security Corporation, increased internal conflicts, and more.
The Public Service and Administration Authority has launched a new strategy to solidify its role in HR and organizational development. Deputy Prime Minister Nasser Al-Shraideh emphasized the importance of modernizing public administration to serve citizens effectively, improve performance, and enhance governance tools.
