Through this system, public employees are chosen on the basis of their competence. The high standards envisioned by the system\u2019s founders are a reality today and hold bright promise for the future<\/p>\n<p>Governor Theodore Roosevelt, who later became President, was a firm proponent and moving force in the establishment of the merit system and it was during the tenure of Governor Al Smith that the Department of Civil Service was established to handle the functions of finding, developing and retaining the people best qualified to do the work of New York State\u2019s government.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to providing the State with a trained, capable and motivated workforce, Civil Service plays a key role in assisting the Governor and the Legislature in developing human resource policies.
