A group of eleven (11) Heads of Account from Ministries, Departments and Agencies, MDAs, including one staff from the Economic Planning, received their certificates from the Minister for Finance, Trade, Investment and Economic Planning, Maurice Loustau Lalanne in a small ceremony recently at Liberty House.
The staff has followed a training in Management Development for a period of 6 days, and comprised of leadership, time management, and teamwork amongst others.
During the presentation, Minister Lalanne, congratulated the recipients and noted that there is a need to train more staff and “ensure that there is continuity. We are doing this so that you all can take over from us’, says the Minister.
Whilst some of the proud recipients pointed out that, there is always pressure in their workplaces, especially during certain times in the month, but that it all depends on the team to deliver accordingly.
Ms. Jacinthe Bonne, heading fifteen (15) staff in the Accounts Section at the Ministry of Health, said that the training has provided her with much-needed knowledge and skills in terms of managing people and work. “It was very useful, was worth it, especially how to manage people, how to plan my work on a daily basis, especially as I have a lot of staff in my section”, Ms. Bonne says.
Minister Lalanne also pointed out that these types of trainings should continue to build staff capacity and to improve on standards as well, something which was also echoed by Ms. Bonne.
This is the first batch to attend such a training and it is expected that more staff will benefit from similar trainings.
