JAKARTA - The Ministry of Social Affairs conducts psychological assessments of its officials in an effort to place the right human resources in the right field of work.

There were 47 officials - including high-ranking, middle, and pratama officials - who were psychologically assessed on Wednesday, February 9 at Cawang Kencana Building, East Jakarta. Minister of Social Affairs Tri Rismaharini said psychological assessment is needed to see the suitability of the personality and competence of officials with their field of work.

"I want in this test how I know each other's 'face', therefore friends, give the best. When else can we give the best for this country if not now," said Risma as quoted in the ministry's press release received in Jakarta, Thursday 10 February.

Psychological assessment activities for Ministry of Social Affairs officials are carried out in accordance with health protocols to prevent the transmission of COVID-19.

All participants in the assessment have undergone COVID-19 vaccination and are not infected with the corona virus according to the results of the antigen examination and RT-PCR.

Prior to conducting a psychological assessment of officials, the Ministry of Social Affairs in November 2021 carried out an assessment of managerial and socio-cultural competencies referring to the competency standards in the Regulation of the Minister for Empowerment of State Apparatus and Bureaucratic Reform Number 38 of 2017 concerning Competence Standards for State Civil Apparatus Positions for Middle High Leaders and Officials Primary Leaders.

These assessments are carried out as part of organizational restructuring in order to simplify the bureaucracy and increase the effectiveness and efficiency of the ministry's work.
