Female civil servants and public employees adapt when merging

My friend is a civil servant at a unit that is being reorganized, so the main office is being moved to Hai Phong City. This means that her commute to work will be much longer than it is now. To overcome the difficulties and adapt to the reorganization and merger, she organized a family meeting, brought her grandparents from the countryside to help pick up and take care of her young child during the new job transfer period. She said that in the current context, adapting to change is a must. She even thought about moving her whole family to Hai Phong if necessary.

In the article "Lifelong Learning", General Secretary To Lam emphasized that the country is facing new opportunities and chances to develop strongly and reach the world level according to President Ho Chi Minh's wishes... The General Secretary clearly stated that we need a team of cadres with innovative thinking, strategic vision, people who dare to think, dare to do, dare to take responsibility and are ready to sacrifice for the common good. In particular, in the revolution of arranging and organizing the apparatus in the direction of streamlining, efficiency, effectiveness and efficiency, each cadre and civil servant needs to proactively adapt so as not to be left behind.

This round of restructuring and streamlining the apparatus affects many people, including many women. In Hai Duong, the number of female cadres, civil servants and public employees affected is also not small. There will be women who are subject to the streamlining and may lose their jobs. Many female civil servants and public employees may have to be away from their families when they are transferred to new workplaces.

My friend mentioned above is a typical case. Previously, she could pick up her child after work and arrange household chores proactively. But when the headquarters moved further away, she had to ask her grandparents for help. But not everyone has the conditions to receive help from their family. For many people, the problem of balancing work and family is really difficult to solve.

How can women continue to develop their capacity in a streamlined administrative environment, while ensuring both work and family life without falling behind?

I think there needs to be practical solutions to help female civil servants and public employees adapt to change. First is a flexible working policy that allows them to work remotely or apply a part-time working model when necessary. During the process of transfer and rotation, it is necessary to carefully consider and weigh the family situation, especially for women with young children.

Welfare for female civil servants and public employees also needs more attention. Policies to support nurseries and kindergartens near the workplace are still not popular, making it difficult for many female civil servants to arrange their family life. If these services could be expanded, they would feel secure in their work.

Not only depending on policies, female civil servants and public employees themselves also need to proactively adapt to the new context, constantly learn, improve their professional qualifications, and improve their time and work management skills. Small changes such as learning to drive to proactively move around or applying technology to work will help them become more confident and flexible in a work environment that requires high adaptability.

Streamlining the apparatus is an inevitable trend to improve the efficiency of the political system. However, this process needs to ensure fairness, avoiding leaving anyone behind, especially women. With appropriate support from policies and a spirit of proactive adaptation, female civil servants and public employees can completely overcome difficulties and continue to affirm their role and position in the new era.
