The Bureau of Public Service System, otherwise known as BPSS or Personnel, is responsible for the day-to-day management of programs and activities involving employees of the National Government. We identify, obtain, and develop the human resources needed to accomplish the goals of the Executive Branch of the Republic of Palau. BPSS administers training programs to upgrade the skills and qualifications of National Government employees; formulates rules, regulations, polices and procedures to carry out the provisions of the National Public Service System Act.
We foster and develop in cooperation with the Appropriate Management Officials and others, programs to promote the public service system and the improvement of employee efficiency. In conjunction with the Attorney General, we also provide technical assistance and advice regarding the Public Service System regulations, including the issuance of directives and the establishment of procedures to effectuate these regulations, and make such inquiries and investigations into personnel administration in the Public Service System as necessary.
