This objective applies to both managers and their employees. The parties hereby agree upon the development of strategic enhancement goals for all employees.
Section 2. Area of application

Courses, specific knowledge and normal training are often confused with competence development, however competence development also occurs at the workplace in work situations.

Regarding Increased Efforts within the
Management Area.

Excellent personnel management is central for the development of an
effective and attractive workplace in the government sector. It is necessary for a close dialogue between the manager and the employee regarding which tasks are to be completed as well as the framework that is necessary to complete the task. Therefore, the individual manager’s competence as a personnel manager comes to play a significant role. The concept of personnel management is understood here, as the manager’s capacity to motivate, engage and develop the employees who the manager has personnel responsibility for. Managers are understood in this connection as all who in their position are formally granted personnel management responsibility. For example, those having responsibility for the carrying out of employee enhancement interviews are considered to be managers. There is a need to strengthen the institutions’ efforts in the development of personnel management competence. Personnel management is therefore to be made into a specific focus area within government institutions in the coming period. This is to occur by the undertaking of various development and educational activities that focus on the manager’s capacity to motivate, engage and The activities have a common objective. That is to establish greater acceptance, by managers, as to the value of good personnel management. Competence development and educational activities have the specific objective and aim of providing tools for better personnel management. The following projects are agreed upon within the agreement period: • A project illustrating how personnel management can be a part of the assessment and rewarding of managers in chosen government institutions. • A project about how the organisation of work can contribute to the development of the individual employee’s competencies by, for example, new work tasks, methods and working relations. These activities are to be agreed upon between The Danish State Employer’s Authority and The Danish Central Federation of State Employees’ Organisations (CFU).
Regarding Increased efforts within the Work
Environment Area.

A good physical and psychological work environment are a decisive factor for
the ensuring of the continuous development of attractive work places in the
government sector.
The parties agree that, within the agreement period, an increased effort
towards a better work environment is to occur.
Workplace evaluation is a central instrument in that connection.
The Danish State Employer’s Authority and The Danish Central Federation
of State Employees’ Organisations (CFU) are to, within the agreement period,
assess the effect of the existing instruments. With this as a basis, the
instruments are to be improved upon with the intention of the prioritising,
qualifying and improving of the workplace environment efforts within the
individual place of work.
The Danish State Employers’ Authority and The Danish Central Federation
of State Employees’ Organisations (CFU) are to, within the agreement period,
prioritise the psychological work environment as a special area of attention.
The parties are to, within the agreement period, focus upon the quality and
development in the individual work area. The starting point is the Framework
Agreement Regarding the Organisation of Safety and Health Work within
Government Institutions, the Framework Agreement Regarding Expanded
Employee Influence in Government Institutions and the Work Environment
Training.

The parties agree to the continued usage of funds from the Change and
Development Fund for this work.
