Background of the Assignment

The Council for the Judiciary is working on further professionalization and harmonization of the way organizational and functional design is handled within the Judiciary. The goal is to support courts and national services in making careful and explainable choices about the design of organizations and functions and in consistently applying the Functiegebouw Rijk (FGR). In the past period, various Judiciary-wide tools have been developed for this purpose. The Organizational Handbook, a framework for administrative support, and an e-learning have been delivered.

In addition, an O-platform has been set up for knowledge sharing and exchange between HR advisors of the courts, F&O advisors of the LDCR, and Organizational Development advisors of the Council for the Judiciary's office. The next phase focuses on the further development and coherence of these tools, the development and finalization of additional instruments, and the sustainable embedding of the working method. Further planning and policy development are also needed for the professionalization of organizational and functional design within the Judiciary.
