The Saudi Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development (MHRSD) has unveiled a new initiative aimed at fostering job mobility within government entities. This initiative, introduced through the Masar platform, seeks to optimise the utilisation of human capital and streamline the process of internal and external transfers among government departments.
Through a statement released on its platform, the ministry outlined a range of services available on Masar, including direct transfers, transfers with promotions, and announcements for transfers along with promotions. Employees within government agencies can now access transfer announcements and submit applications, provided they meet the stipulated conditions and regulations.
This service is designed to empower employees within the general employee ladder of government entities to explore transfer opportunities and apply for them once they meet the necessary criteria. Additionally, it enables human resources specialists within these entities to efficiently manage transfer operations.
The overarching goal of this initiative is to bolster investment in human capital by facilitating internal employment opportunities within government agencies. By streamlining transfer procedures and governing the entire process, the service aims to enhance the efficiency of human resources management within government entities.
The ministry clarified that the service is targeted at individuals currently employed within the general employee ladder and allows entities to advertise vacant positions through the job transfer service on the Masar platform. Employee transfers are subject to approval from their current employer and are contingent upon their experience and academic qualifications aligning with the requirements of the new position.
It is important to note that Masar serves as a national platform offering electronic services to support government entities in developing their human resources capabilities. By simplifying the process of linking government agencies and fostering professional development among government employees, Masar plays a vital role in advancing the efficiency and effectiveness of public sector operations.
