Need breakthrough thinking

Attracting and making use of talents has been a concern of the Party and the State since early on, and many policies have been issued. To concretize these policies, the Government has also issued various documents. Localities have actively implemented preferential treatment mechanisms such as priority direct recruitment, preferential housing, salary policies and initial support, and priority training and development.

However, in reality, these policies have not been as effective as expected, so they have not been able to retain talented people and promote their contributions to the common interests of the country. This reality requires the national strategic project on attracting and using talented people to have a breakthrough mindset.

Dr. Tran Anh Tuan, Chairman of the Vietnam Association of Administrative Sciences, former Deputy Minister of Home Affairs, said that talent is a special and very important resource. If attracted and utilized, it will create great strength to promote the rapid and sustainable development of the country. Attracting and utilizing talent is a task that must be taken seriously in all areas of social life. The important content in the draft National Strategy on attracting and utilizing talent must clearly demonstrate the concept and criteria for identifying talent.

Dr. Tran Anh Tuan, President of Vietnam Administrative Science Association, former Deputy Minister of Home Affairs.

"The criteria for identifying talents are framework criteria, and in each field and in public service activities, they will be specified. In the draft, talents are people with political qualities, ethics, lifestyle, outstanding creative capacity, dedication, merits, and achievements that contribute to the progress of a sector, an organization, or a locality...", said Mr. Tran Anh Tuan.

Expressing high agreement with the concept of talent in the draft, Director of the Vietnam National Institute of Culture and Arts Nguyen Thi Thu Phuong stated that attracting talent will have to cover both the public and private sectors.

"There must be decentralization and preferential policies to attract talents in the public sector. The most important thing is to have a mechanism to attract talents from outside areas, " said Ms. Nguyen Thi Thu Phuong.

Find the answer to the question: Recently, many ministries, branches and localities have introduced attractive policies to attract talents, but the effectiveness is not high, the number of talents attracted is still very low, is the reason because the treatment is not attractive enough? Mr. Nguyen Tien Dinh, former Deputy Minister of Home Affairs, said that to attract, we must employ them. However, not much has been done in the past, although the initial treatment is not low, many people still leave. To employ, in addition to treatment, how must we use it, is there an environment and conditions created, scientists who want to research must have labs and be assigned programs and topics.

"New graduates and new staff of the agency are assigned to clean and make tea, but it is not necessarily true that they are respected or promoted. The root is to trust, use, assign and create conditions for them to work," said Mr. Nguyen Tien Dinh.

Through experience in attracting talents from Ho Chi Minh City, Deputy Head of the Propaganda Department of the Ho Chi Minh City Party Committee Pham Duc Hai commented that without clear policies, it will be impossible to attract talents. In addition, there needs to be a mechanism for agencies, units, and localities to issue outstanding policies and need to quantify the outstanding creative capacity of talents associated with projects, development plans, and products and ideas that are practically evaluated.

"The most important thing is to have a policy. After the invitation, you must have a presentation of what you can do, not rely on your qualifications. You must target the field that the agency needs. The role of the People's Committee is to have outstanding policies to attract and employ people," said Mr. Pham Duc Hai.

According to Dr. Bui Truong Giang, Vice Chairman and General Secretary of the Central Theoretical Council, the draft strategic project needs to demonstrate breakthroughs in thinking, awareness and mechanisms for attracting and employing talents.

"When using talented people, we should not think of owning them. Using them is more important than owning them. They can contribute to this system anywhere. There is no need to put them in the public sector system. That makes it difficult to retain talented people. Maintain a soft mechanism for use, not a heavy emphasis on ownership. There must be a mechanism to shorten the process for talented people, not sequentially; shortening is the only way to use talented people right in their work. There must be breakthrough thinking and breakthrough measures. There must be a model of centers of excellence, incubating a team of talented people working together, " said Mr. Bui Truong Giang.

The draft National Strategy on attracting and utilizing talents will continue to be completed so that the Drafting Committee can soon submit it to the Prime Minister for consideration and promulgation. Each content in the draft needs to clearly demonstrate a meaningful breakthrough in order to promote and encourage talents to contribute more to the development of the country.
