With the aim of continuing to effectively implement the Party's policies and resolutions on cadre work and cadre rotation, contributing to building a cadre team that is equal to the tasks in each period; strongly innovating the work of cadre rotation, ensuring democracy, objectivity, publicity, transparency, fairness; preventing negativity, corruption, group interests, family relationships, acquaintances..., the implementation of this Regulation contributes to ensuring the implementation of the policy of comprehensive training and fostering and effective use of the cadre team; creating conditions for young, promising cadres, cadres in the planning to be trained in practice; creating a long-term source of cadres for the country, especially key leaders in sectors, levels, agencies, units and strategic-level cadres.

The regulation clearly states: Combine rotation with reasonable mobilization and arrangement of cadres in the entire political system; increase cadres for difficult places in need, overcome the situation of surplus and shortage in some places and locality and closedness in cadre work; continue to implement the policy of rotating cadres in close combination with arranging a number of key leadership positions at the provincial and district levels who are not local people and cadres who do not hold the position for more than two consecutive terms.

Have a specific plan for staff rotation

The work of rotating cadres must be under the regular, direct, and comprehensive leadership of Party committees and organizations at all levels; ensure the principle of democratic centralism, promote the role and responsibility of the leadership collective and the head; properly resolve the relationship between rotation and stabilization and building a team of specialized cadres; both pay attention to meeting the requirements of work tasks and pay attention to the purpose of training and educating cadres, and preparing the next generation of cadres.

The rotation of cadres must ensure comprehensiveness, synchronization, connectivity, regularity, continuity, with vertical and horizontal rotation between agencies and units in the entire political system; must be closely linked with planning, training, fostering, evaluation, arrangement, assignment, and use of cadres; and must balance and harmonize the rotation of cadres with the development of on-site cadre resources.

Only rotate leaders and managers, not rotate cadres doing professional or technical work (except in cases where it is necessary to increase cadres for the base, field or area).

Do not transfer to the Central, local or other localities disciplined cadres, weak capacity, reduced prestige, and no development prospects.

Rotated cadres must be young, in planning, with development prospects; have good political qualities, ethics, lifestyle and working capacity; pay attention to selecting and discovering young cadres with outstanding capacity.

The rotation of cadres must have a specific plan and a roadmap for each step of implementation; there must be a synchronous and unified mechanism and policy to create an environment and conditions for the rotated cadres to promote their capacity, strengths, expertise, practice, and accumulate practical experience; at the same time there must be regulations for management and supervision of the rotated cadres. The consideration and arrangement of cadres after rotation must be based on the requirements of the task, the practical situation; the results of the implementation of the political tasks of the locality, agency, and unit associated with the personal responsibility of the rotated cadres and comments and evaluations of the cadres.

The minimum rotation period is 3 years.

The scope of rotation is from the central to local levels; from one locality to another; from locality to grassroots level and vice versa; rotation between agencies, units of the Party, State, Fatherland Front and socio-political organizations, armed forces, public service units, and state-owned enterprises.

The subjects of rotation are young, capable, and promising cadres in the planning of localities, agencies, and units in the political system. Cadres are rotated to implement the policy of arranging cadres who are not local people and cadres who do not hold positions for more than two consecutive terms in a locality, agency, or unit, specifically: Provincial Party Secretary, District Party Secretary and equivalent, Chairman of the People's Committee at the provincial and district levels, Chief Prosecutor of the People's Procuracy, Chief Justice of the People's Court at the provincial and district levels; leaders of the inspection, police, finance, tax, and customs sectors at the provincial and district levels; other cases are considered and decided by competent authorities.

The rotation position arrangement applies to cadres who have held the position of head for 2 consecutive terms and cadres rotated to implement policies that are not local people. When rotated, they are mainly arranged to be heads; for young cadres rotated for training and practice, they are mainly arranged to be deputies; other cases are considered and decided by competent authorities.

The rotated cadres must have a firm political stance and ideology, good moral qualities; have the capacity and development prospects; basically meet the standards and criteria for the rotation position according to regulations; have a plan, have professional qualifications, be healthy enough to work; have at least 2 terms of service (10 years) remaining from the time of rotation (50 years old for men, 45 years old for women, except for female cadres who are eligible for extended service time according to regulations). The rotated cadres must not be local people, and must not hold a position for more than two consecutive terms and must have worked for at least one full term. Other cases shall be considered and decided by competent authorities.

According to the Regulations, the rotation period is at least 3 years (36 months) for a position (except for concurrent positions). Special cases will be considered and decided by the competent authority.

5 steps to take

The regulation clearly states: Based on the staff planning, work needs and capacity, strengths of the staff, the Party Committee and the competent Party organization shall develop a plan for rotating staff within the scope of management. The plan must clarify the basic contents: Needs, rotation position; form of rotation; rotation area; rotation period; necessary mechanisms and policies to ensure implementation; expected plan for arranging staff after rotation... Based on the plan, make a list of rotated staff and state specific implementation measures for each staff.

The implementation process includes 5 specific steps:

Based on the need for cadre rotation, Party committees, Party organizations, and leaders of agencies and units shall review and evaluate the cadre team of the locality, agency, or unit; develop a rotation plan and submit it to competent authorities for consideration and approval.

Based on the policy of the competent authority, the organization and personnel advisory agency notifies localities, agencies and units to propose personnel rotation.

Synthesize proposals from localities, agencies, units; the organization and personnel advisory agency reviews standards, criteria and plans for locations, positions and personnel to be transferred. Collect comments and assessments on personnel expected to be transferred.

The organization and personnel advisory body sends a document to solicit appraisal opinions from relevant agencies, discusses with the departure and destination locations about the expected locations, positions, and personnel to be transferred; summarizes the appraisal results and discusses with the expected transferred staff. Organizes meetings with the transferred staff to thoroughly understand the purpose and requirements of the transfer; at the same time, grasps the thoughts, aspirations, and determines the responsibilities of the transferred staff.

The organizational and personnel advisory body submits to competent authorities for consideration, decision, leadership and direction of implementation (announcement of decisions, direction of elections and other necessary tasks).
