A growing number of countries now manage their senior public servants within a distinct human resource management (HRM) regime with tailored recruitment, management, and remuneration practices which differ from those applied elsewhere in the public service. While there is a shared logic behind the establishment of such a differentiated group, including the need to select and train a body of staff with distinctive skills in strategic leadership who can manage the interplay between politics, policy, and implementation, and to promote policy coordination between departments and over time between administrations, there are also some country-specific reasons for these developments.
