Overview
County Public Service Boards operate within a framework of uniform norms and standards prescribed by national law (Article 235(1)). However, many counties inherited staff from different employers (the national government, defunct local authorities and other institutions), each with its own terms, schemes of service and practices. This programme works to bring consistency, fairness and efficiency to human resource management across counties, while respecting each Board's independence.
Key activities
- Developing model county HR policies and procedures manuals, recruitment and selection guidelines, and disciplinary procedures.
- Supporting harmonisation and review of schemes of service and career progression guidelines in collaboration with the Public Service Commission and the Council of Governors.
- Promoting standard staff establishment, job evaluation and workload analysis methodologies.
- Reviewing proposed national legislation and policies affecting the county public service and submitting memoranda.
- Maintaining a library of approved county HR instruments for peer reference.
Expected outputs and resources
Model County Human Resource Policy; Recruitment and Selection Guidelines for CPSBs; Standard Disciplinary Procedures Handbook; Policy Brief series.
