What We Do
The Portfolio of the Civil Service (PoCS) provides policy advice and support to Her Excellency The Governor and the Deputy Governor in overseeing the operation of the Civil Service. The Portfolio also provides strategic HR advice and operational HR functions to Public Authorities. PoCS has a central role in the diagnosis, design, implementation and evaluation of public sector reforms both within the Cayman Islands, and, on occasion, in other overseas territories.
As part of its responsibilities, the Portfolio monitors employee engagement to assess whether the conditions within the Civil Service are conducive to employees giving their best efforts. Since 2020, PoCS has also made significant contributions to the Government's COVID-19 Response, such as the creation of CIG's first ever dynamic policy - the COVID-19 Policy. The Portfolio also leads a number of initiatives including leadership events and community outreach programmes.
The Portfolio received international recognition when it won big in the prestigious 2021 People Management Awards hosted by the UK-based Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD). PoCS was awarded as "People Team of the Year - Public Sector", winning the title from a field of seven finalists in that category. The Portfolio's entry cited the range of initiatives it undertook, as a People Team, to help the Civil Service and the country manage the various challenges of 2020, the largest being the COVID-19 emergency. The judges noted that this "showed an example of an HR team rising to and succeeding above all expectations."
