ROMA (ITALPRESS) – An increasingly efficient, attractive and meritocratic audience. For three years he has been working on these objectives the Minister for Public Administration, Paolo Zangrillo, who in an interview with the newspaper Avvenire explains: “In a few months we have changed the step on some key fronts such as attractiveness, training, simplification and innovation, with results that are now measurable. The ‘inPA’ portal has become the only access point to the competitions and today has about three million members, over half under 40, with average selection times from 780 days, that is more than two years, to about four months. In 2025 almost 204 thousand jobs were banned in about 20 thousand competitions. Only in the first ten days of 2026 other 10 thousand job offers have already attracted 410 thousand candidates. This allows us to manage a significant turnover volume, considering that from here to 2032 almost one million public employees will retire. It should be noted, moreover, that for the first time after 15 years the curve of public employees returns to grow, while lowering the average age, from 52 to 47 years. This trend will allow us in a reasonable time to recover the lost ground in the ten years of blocking the turnover from 2009 to 2018”. According to the minister “come back to public administration. Between 2023 and 2025 we hired 600 thousand people. Over 50% is under 40 years and over 30% of the total is under 30 years. Public administration returns to be attractive. Training hours have passed from six to about 40 per year per employee. Over half a million public workers have already followed courses on the Syllabus digital portal, with more than 1.8 million certifications released, while new territorial training policies link Universities and administrations on the most current themes. In parallel, by the end of January, Parliament will discuss my bill on merit, which binds prizes and careers to results, opening access to management through career paths that measure and value individual performance.”
On the roof of the salaries of state managers, he says: “I want to preclude that the abolition of the roof did not want the government. Last July, the Constitutional Court ruled it. The Consulta has defined the roof illegitimate to the salaries, introduced in 2014. All this forces us to reflect on the wage dynamics of our leaders. Public administration must also be able to equip itself with tools that define the remuneration of their managers because of their responsibilities and the content of role. But I want to remember that first he was eager to worry about wage levels we are working to avoid what has happened too often in the past and that is a logic of rain increases completely inadequate to reward merit.” And with regard to the process of simplification, he says: “Around 400 procedures have been simplified in key areas such as health, school, crafts and business controls. Pharmacies become fundamental allies of the National Health Service: now here you can choose the basic doctor, do vaccines, receive telemedicine services and much more. While enrollment at school passes from a unique platform. All simplifications are available on ItaliaSemplice.gov.it, a site launched at the end of September. With ‘Risorse in Comunè we have made available to municipalities from 5 to 25 thousand inhabitants 100 million euros to invest on digitization and modernization of the structures. An initiative that has recorded an extraordinary success, with an accession of 93% of the Municipalities concerned. In parallel, 58.6 million were allocated to dialogue with staff management systems and to modernize the administrative organization.” “We have allocated €20 billion to ensure financial coverage of theand contractual returns 2022-2024 and 2025-2027 – adds -. Today I can say with relief that we closed the 2019-2021 renewals left open by previous governments and closed the 2022-2024 round. Last month we started the contract season 2025-2027. For the first time we guarantee continuity to contractual renewals, in particular recognizing in the period 2022-2027 wage increases between 16 and 18%”.
