Clear winner!
The award was presented based on Ms Smith’s success through the Public Service Star Membership Club; the reward scheme associated with the Rate Us platform (formerly the Customer Service Virtual Mailbox Programme). Since the Club’s inception in 2018, Ms Smith has amassed a cumulative score of 62 points; elite membership is acquired at 30 points.
According to a press release from Government Information Services (GIS) on December 2, 2022, Deputy Governor, Mr David D. Archer, Jr. noted that this was no small feat.
“The significance of this achievement is underscored by the fact that the top-ranking score to be recognised for this award has been earmarked at 30 points,” the Deputy Governor said.
'Grateful'- Smith
“I would like to say thank you to everyone. I am thankful and I am so grateful for the service that I have done,” Ms Smith said upon receiving her award.
The Deputy Governor made the decision to honour the late Mrs Stephanie P. Benn by establishing her as the namesake of the award in light of her stellar contributions to the Civil Registry and Passport Office and the wider Public Service.
“We saw it fitting to commemorate and honour her in a tangible and meaningful way. A way that would cement her legacy for years to come,” the Deputy Governor said.
He added that Mrs Benn exemplified excellence, grace, professionalism, and leadership.
“She worked tirelessly to establish and maintain standards of excellence at the Civil Registry and Passport Office. Mrs Benn inspired her staff to never rest on their laurels, but to continue to raise the bar of customer service delivery. Anyone who has had the opportunity to interact with Mrs Benn would agree that she will undoubtedly be missed by all who knew and loved her,” Mr Archer added.
