ABSTRACT:
The case describes a challenging situation faced by Mr. Syed Manzar Jan Sajid, Additional Director Establishment & Finance at the Directorate of Education, FATA. He had been given the responsibility to undertake the recruitment of teachers in FATA. It was decided by the Education Department that around 120 teachers needed to be replaced on an immediate basis. The recruitment procedure of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Public Service Commission (KPPSC) took years to reach completion and did not take into account the ground realities. As a result the teachers who were commissioned through it, often asked for No Objection Certificate (NOC) to be positioned out of FATA soon after. So, Mr. Manzar had to come up with a recruitment and selection procedure that was not only efficient, but also provided sustainable solutions to the problems of high employee turnover and employee demotivation found in the disgruntled teachers.
