Vietnam public sector personnel management reforms

Overview

The Vietnamese government is refining regulations regarding the management of public employees and staffing quotas.

Initially, the Ministry of Education and Training clarified rules under the Law on Public Employees, stating that public service units may transfer staff to new positions if there is institutional demand and the employee meets professional standards. This guidance addressed specific cases where staff members, such as library personnel, were reassigned to teaching duties due to shortages.

Following this, the government issued Decision 2034, a plan to manage personnel quotas for the 2027–2031 period. This directive requires ministries and local authorities to identify labor surpluses and shortages accurately. The plan mandates that agencies must prioritize the rearrangement, transfer, and training of existing personnel to ensure efficient resource use before requesting any adjustments to official staffing quotas.
