Abstract
The AGO is undergoing profound change in its human resources policies, programs, and procedures, requiring a significant shift in the organization's culture. The leaders of the AGO, including the Attorney General, Vice Attorney General, Deputy Attorneys General, and other leaders, play a crucial role in defining the changes needed in human resources policies, programs, and procedures, and leading the actions and activities required to implement these changes. The key to successful change is transforming the organizational culture to expect and accept a different way of doing business. Organizational culture is created, maintained, or transformed by people, and an organization's leadership is the primary source for the generation and infusion of an organization's ideology, articulation of values, and specification of norms. Leaders establish the parameters for formal lines of communication and message content, and values and norms establish the permissiveness of the organization's culture. Identifying and appointing HR Reform Champions is essential to the successful transformation of the human resources program in the AGO. The reform champion should be a respected leader of the AGO who is familiar with the vision and goals of Indonesia's nationwide reform, the AGO system reform, and human resources reform. The reform champion should possess the following characteristics: * Be a respected leader who is known for their ethical behavior, leadership capabilities, performance, and ability to accomplish the strategic goals and objectives of the AGO. * Be able to articulate the goals and explain the programs to various audiences, including prosecutors, leaders, managers, and supervisors. * Be able to communicate the changes required to subordinate leaders and employees. * Be able to lead the actions and activities required to implement the changes. The reform champion should also be able to: * Articulate the vision and goals of the AGO and human resources reform. * Explain the programs and policies to various audiences. * Communicate the changes required to subordinate leaders and employees. * Lead the actions and activities required to implement the changes. The AGO should consider providing incentives to the individuals selected as HR Reform Champions, such as training, coaching, and recognition. The implementation steps for implementing the local HR Champion Program should include: * Identifying and selecting the HR Reform Champions. * Providing training and coaching to the HR Reform Champions. * Recognizing and rewarding the HR Reform Champions. * Monitoring and evaluating the progress of the HR Reform Champions. The long-term value of the HR Champion Program lies in its ability to transform the organizational culture, improve the human resources policies, programs, and procedures, and increase the effectiveness of the AGO.
