Civil service commission
A civil service commission is a government agency that is constituted by legislature to regulate the employment and working conditions of civil servants, oversee hiring and promotions, and promote the values of the public service. Its role is roughly analogous to that of the human resources department in corporations. Civil service commissions are often independent from elected politicians.

- controlling the number of public servants on the payroll;
- practicing merit-based recruitment;
- promoting transparency, accountability, integrity, professionalism and ethics;
- respecting diversity in the public service and tapping its potential benefits;
- paying civil servants in a post-conflict situation; and
- counteracting brain drain.
