SENSITISATION SESSIONS IN CONNECTION WITH “REVIEW OF SYSTEMS AND PROCESSES INVOLVED IN THE ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT OF CONTRACT EMPLOYMENT”

Three Presenters at the Sensitization Sessions on the 25^th January 2013

Over 150 Human Resource and Legal personnel from a number of ministries, departments and agencies have participated in sensitisation sessions on the review of the systems and processes involved in the administration and management of contract employment in the Public Service. The sessions are a collaboration of the Personnel Department, the Office of the Chief State Solicitor and the Ministry of Public Administration.

The five sessions which ran from January 22 to January 29, 2013 sought to raise awareness of the new arrangements for the administration of contract employment which take effect from February 15, 2013. A session is also due to be held in Tobago over the next coming days.

Among the information provided to participants were the standardized job descriptions, revised salaries and other terms and conditions for approved positions in the Manipulative, Clerical/Secretarial, Human Resources, Communications and Legal streams.

The outcome of these sessions continues to be positive as participants interactively engage in discussion on the benefits of the new systems and procedures in relation to the challenges they currently face in the administration of contract employment.

This project and these sensitization sessions are an important part of the overall outreach strategy for the human resource management modernization program which comprises several other projects.

The review of the systems and processes involved in the administration and management of contract employment project also requires civil service agencies to develop six-year contract employment staffing plans.

More information on this and other projects will be provided soon.
