Civil servant performance may be evaluated

(ANSA) - Rome, August 23 - A forthcoming decree on civil service reform may contain a section on employee performance evaluation with expanded criteria to include parameters such as behavior and ability to complete projects, ANSA sources said on Tuesday.
    Another key point in the decree, the new unification of managerial roles in three areas at the state, regional and local level (no longer specific to each ministerial or local administration) would go into effect immediately, with new tasks assigned through a selection process rather than automatically, sources said.
    The government is also looking at providing certain assurances within the decree that would give a preferential track to managers with seniority within the public administration, sources said.
