WHEREAS, the
Sexy真人y is committed to an economical and effective
State government and recognizes that the employment of competent
senior managers who are accountable for their performance is indispensable
to the achievement of this goal; and
WHEREAS, the
Senior Executive Service (SES) was established by the 1986 Civil
Service Reform Act to attract, retain and develop professional senior
level managers with demonstrated skills and expertise for leadership
positions in New Jersey State Government; and
WHEREAS, the
Governor's Management Review Commission and the Commissioner of
Personnel have reviewed the operation of the current SES program
and recommend a centralized, Statewide system rather than the current
departmentally focused process; and
WHEREAS, there
is a need to develop appropriate criteria for SES positions as well
as a performance based compensation system and to establish a talent
bank, procedures for mobility assignments and succession planning
for SES employees.
