It is claimed that directors of the Centralised Internal Audit, Personnel Management, Healthcare System Human Resource Policy, Strategic Management and Investment Departments were hired without having to participate in competitions for these positions.
According to the ministry’s staff, at first certain individuals are hired in lower positions and, later, are appointed as heads or directors of units for ostensibly displaying great skills. It is claimed that in some cases a person took the job on Friday and was promoted as the head of a department next Monday.
However, Chancellor of the Ministry of Health Jurgita Grebenkovienė told the media that internal competitions are not held in order to create conditions for the ministry’s employees to climb career ladders.
