Agents of the government are generally indemnified against liability for acts in good faith. Accountability comes from work rules.

It’s unwise to open that door to personal liability, as there are many liability risks that even a low level official faces, even when their conduct is correct. Frankly, you’d need to be an idiot to have anything to do with HR or procurement working in any government subdivision with personal liabilty.
