To develop its in-house talent pool and improve staff motivation, FAS has devised and introduced special programmes for personnel training – “Effective talent pipeline” and for creating a team of the positive changes leaders – “#LEADERS FAS”, as well as professional contests.

Addressing the Forum participants, Ekaterina Belousova said: “We, like our colleagues in other bodies, face subjective and objective factors that one way or another influence staff stability and employee’s professional skills. The approaches to attracting and developing personnel, however, that we have managed to develop and implement recently, generate good results. For our part, FAS is always open for cooperation and is ready to share our practical experience with colleagues”.
