En Colombia existió una legislación en la que el ascenso para los empleados públicos con derechos de carrera tenía un alcance mayor; la reglamentación actual dejó de lado un sistema cerrado que, lejos de ser discriminatorio, permitía hacer efectiva la garantía de una ventaja para quien podía aspirar a obtener un ascenso a partir del mérito y la experiencia adquiridos con anterioridad a su proceso de promoción. Hoy existe la necesidad de implementar mecanismos que permitan al empleado de carrera ascender, crecer y desarrollarse; la consolidación de un sistema protector, impulsador y profesionalizante, que incentive a los servidores en los cuales recae la responsabilidad de mantener vivo el aparato estatal.
In Colombia, a public employee doesn’t seem to have rights to career advancement based on merit and experience. The current public hiring system seems to ignore experience, interest and effort made by an employee, at the time of considering a potential advancement to an upper-level position, which would assign new tasks and greater responsibilities. That is why there is a need for the implementation of different mechanisms, to increase employees’ career advancement possibilities based on merits accredited with tasks such as academic papers, institutional project management and public policy management, academic degrees, as well as experience, research and time of service. This paper, developed with a critical perspective of the problem, proposes alternatives to overcome this challenge.
