The second day of the New Civil Servant Integration Program (PINS), organized by the IBGE, on Thursday (Feb 05), focused on human resources. Benefits, probationary period, performance assessment and conflict of interest in civil service were some of the topics approached. Approximately 100 new civil servants approved in the first edition of the Unified National Public Examination (CPNU) attended the lectures delivered by the Human Resources Division at Casa de Rui Barbosa, in Rio de Janeiro (RJ).

Jaqueline Carvalho, from Porto Velho (RO), recently approved to work in the human resources department at the IBGE Superintendency in Rio de Janeiro, praised the preparations to welcome the new civil servants. “It is interesting, we are receiving support and guidance. That encourages us to start our work at the IBGE.” 

Another new employee is Antonio Godoy, from the state of Minas Gerais, who has a graduation degree from the IBGE's National School of Statistical Sciences (ENCE) and will work in the geoprocessing area. “Today's topic raises a lot of doubts. Almost everything is new, so we are learning about our rights and human resources in general. I am happy and motivated, and this is a very important step."

In the first lecture, the deputy human resources coordinator, Steffi Hanschke, spoke about the main information channels and human resources services such as the Federal Government Civil Servant Portal, the SouGov.Br app and the IBGE IBGE Intranet. She highlighted the full availability of the HR department through its Support Channel. The next one to speak was Keite Valença, staff administration manager, who shows the attendees how to request benefits and other types of financial aid on the SouGov app.

The IBGE Supply Department manager, Bernardo Caú, presented the performance assessments and the probationary period, fundamental steps for civil servants. According to him, it is a period of adaptation and consolidation, when the skills and match between each civil servant and their functions are observed. “Among the compulsory activities for approval after probation are the Initial Development Program, conceived by the National Public Administration School (Enap), which deals with topics such as ethics, integrity and public administration.” 

In the last lecture of the day, the HR Coordinator, Bruno Malheiros, explained the concept of conflic of interest and informed the new civil servants about how to avoid this kind of occurrence: “A clear example is a civil servant in the purchase department of the IBGE who hires a company owned by his family. Another possible case would be to accept invitations for trips in order to close an administrative file.” To clear any doubts about a situation, the employee should consult the Conflic of Interest prevention Electronic System (SeCI).

In addition to the lectures, the employees participated in integration activities. In one of them, separated into groups, they had to guess the main acronyms of IBGE systems and surveys, such as SCN (National Accounts System), MUNIC (Municipal Basic Information Survey), and Sidra (IBGE Automatic Recovery System). For Victor Azevedo, from Rio de Janeiro, who will work in the IT area of ​​IBGE, the PINS is also an opportunity to interact with future colleagues from other areas. “I’m excited, really enjoying it. It’s been very enlightening. I’ve always liked statistics and it was an area I was interested in working in, and it just so happened that IBGE is participating in the CPNU,” he says.

The meeting also included representatives from the IBGE' s National Union (ASSIBGE), who presented the history and objectives of the organization. “Our union fights for the democratization of the IBGE structure. Furthermore, it proposes bringing the IBGE closer to its users through periodic congresses for activity planning, in which representatives from all of society are heard regarding the work we do,” says Aline Damacena, a civil servant and representative of ASSIBGE.
