BSKDN Ministry of Home Affairs Strengthens Talent Management Based on Merit System
Jakarta — The State Strategy Agency for Domestic Affairs (BSKDN) under the Ministry of Home Affairs held a Workshop on Strengthening Talent Management for the State Civil Apparatus (ASN) as part of a strategic effort to enhance institutional capacity through more professional, planned, and merit-based management of human resources.
“This workshop is part of a strategic effort to strengthen BSKDN’s institutional capacity through more professional, planned, and merit-based management of state apparatus human resources,” said BSKDN Secretary Noudy R.P. Tendean in a statement in Jakarta on Wednesday.
Noudy stated that the workshop represented an important opportunity to strengthen the quality of human resources within BSKDN.
He explained that in the current era of modern bureaucracy, strengthening ASN talent management has become an important pillar in supporting the realisation of a professional, adaptive, competent, and competitive bureaucracy. This also aligns with the mandate of bureaucratic reform that has been ongoing since the 1998 reform era.
According to him, the application of talent management is necessary to ensure that each ASN with the best potential and competence can be properly prepared and developed to occupy strategic positions within the organisation.
“Each ASN has the best potential and competence that can then be properly prepared and developed to occupy strategic positions in the organisation. This is the importance of talent management,” he said.
“The BSKDN team has demonstrated various achievements, from first-place rankings to second-place rankings. This shows that the quality of human resources at BSKDN is very capable,” Noudy said.
In line with this, Noudy also emphasised that improving competence is both a right and a necessity for ASN in facing increasingly complex bureaucratic dynamics.
Therefore, every opportunity to participate in education and training should be utilised optimally as part of personal development.
“So I hope this talent management workshop gives inspiration to all of us in the BSKDN to explore and develop all the potential we have,” he said.
Meanwhile, a representative from the Human Resources Deputy of the Ministry of State Apparatus Empowerment and Bureaucratic Reform (KemenPAN-RB), Junaidi Sinaga, explained that the merit system is an important foundation for professional and integrity-based ASN management, in line with the grand design of ASN management 2025–2045 and bureaucratic reform towards world-class bureaucracy by 2045.
“Of course, the goal there is how to present ASN that is integrity-based, active, and competent to reach this shared goal,” said Junaidi.
