Talented people and intellectuals can hardly contribute if their salary is "low".

At the recent 8th Central Conference, the Party Central Committee unanimously issued a new Resolution outlining viewpoints, guiding thoughts, goals, tasks, and key solutions to continue building and promoting the role of the intellectual team to meet the requirements of rapid and sustainable national development in the new period.

Salary reform, the basic and first solution In the report on the socio-economic situation, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh said that up to now, the salary fund has been allocated about 560,000 billion VND, ensuring enough resources for salary reform in the 3 years 2024 - 2026. Regarding the information on salary reform, Chairman of the Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front - Do Van Chien said that cadres, civil servants, public employees, and people receiving salaries from the budget are happy and excited about the Party and State's policy on salary reform. Talking to Lao Dong, delegate Nguyen Thi Viet Nga - Deputy Head of the National Assembly Delegation of Hai Duong province - said that in order to attract and retain capable people in the public sector, it is necessary to speed up the progress of salary reform for the entire administrative and career sector of our country, because investing in people is investing in sustainable development. Salary reform is a basic and first solution. The Russian delegate said that the civil servants and public employees are a high-quality human resource, well-trained in expertise, with many years of experience, but in reality, the level of treatment is not commensurate with them. Meanwhile, the private sector is ready to recruit people to work in the public sector with more attractive salaries along with material benefits, learning opportunities and promotion. "Salary reform is closely linked to determining job positions, which is very important and needs to be done as soon as possible. However, in the cost-effectiveness equation, salary increases must certainly be associated with streamlining the payroll and improving the quality of service to the people and businesses of the civil servants and public employees" - delegate Nguyen Thi Viet Nga expressed her opinion. Prioritizing early salary increase and appointment planning for talented people Prioritizing early salary increase and appointment planning for talented people is one of the policies for employing talented people who are civil servants, public employees, and workers stated in the draft Decree on policies to attract and employ talented people in State administrative agencies and public service units that is being consulted by the Ministry of Home Affairs. According to the Proposal of the Ministry of Home Affairs, the policy for employing talented people who are civil servants, public employees, and workers includes: Policies on working environment, working equipment; policies on planning and appointment; policies on salary, welfare regimes (including regulations: Priority for early salary increase (if any); policies on honoring and rewarding; other preferential regimes according to regulations of each Ministry, industry, and locality.

Talking to Lao Dong about this content, National Assembly delegate Pham Van Hoa (Dong Thap delegation) emphasized the spirit of our ancestors who concluded that "Talent is the vital energy of the nation" and "the precious capital of the nation". Therefore, delegate Hoa believes that intellectuals are a particularly important labor force in the process of promoting the country's industrialization - modernization and international integration.

According to delegate Pham Van Hoa, for the intellectual team, a very important thing to attract is to have policies to ensure job positions, professional working environment, limit constraints by administrative procedures; create conditions for scientists to attend conferences and seminars abroad as well as create conditions for international scientists to live and work in Vietnam... Working environment, creative space, dedication, and treatment are very important things for the intellectual team and scientists.

In the face of the wave of personnel shifting from the public sector to the private sector, delegate Pham Van Hoa said that this is a development of the labor market, the more attractive sector will attract personnel. And that personnel, whether working in the public or private sector, are all contributing to the country. However, this means that the incentive and attraction policies in the public sector need to be more attractive and need to be carefully researched and evaluated.

“Talents and intellectuals can hardly contribute if their salaries are “low”. Talents and intellectuals who demonstrate their mettle and value and whose efforts and values ​​are effective in proving to the country and society should be paid appropriately to retain them” - Mr. Hoa emphasized that this needs to be noted in the process of organizing and implementing strategies and plans to attract and promote intellectuals and talents.
