The enactment of Law No. 119 of 2 July 2026 introduces new provisions governing performance evaluation and the enhancement of human resources within the Italian Public Administration, amending Legislative Decree No. 150\/2009.<\/p>\n
The new legislation forms part of the broader programme aimed at modernising the Public Administration and seeks to make performance management systems more effective, transparent and results oriented.<\/p>\n
One of the most significant developments is the strengthening of the role of public managers, who are now expected not only to achieve assigned objectives but also to foster the professional development of their staff and contribute to the continuous improvement of organisational performance.<\/p>\n
Performance evaluation therefore assumes a broader function, extending beyond the assessment of achieved results to include organisational competencies, leadership and coordination capabilities, and the overall quality of people management.<\/p>\n
The law also places greater emphasis on training, recognising it as an essential instrument for developing employees’ skills and supporting the ongoing evolution of public sector organisations.<\/p>\n
Another important innovation concerns the performance appraisal process, which is expected to progressively involve a wider range of stakeholders, with the aim of ensuring more comprehensive evaluations that more accurately reflect each employee’s actual contribution.<\/p>\n
As a result, public administrations will need to assess whether their existing performance management systems comply with the new regulatory framework and, where necessary, update them accordingly.<\/p>\n
Implementing the reform will also require a review of internal processes, objective-setting procedures, and performance measurement methodologies to ensure that the overall system is fully aligned with the objectives pursued by the new legislation.<\/p>\n
The changes introduced by the law will affect not only organisational structures but also the practical management of human resources and the exercise of managerial responsibilities.<\/p>\n
Overall, the new legal framework confirms the legislator’s intention to steer the Italian Public Administration towards governance models increasingly based on managerial accountability, the enhancement of professional competencies, and the continuous improvement of the quality of public services delivered to citizens.<\/p>\n
Public administrations will therefore be required to support this transition through a careful process of organisational adaptation, ensuring that the new provisions are effectively implemented in the day-to-day management of human resources.<\/p>\n
