REPORT: System fails to train nationals for jobs in Health Division
A report submitted to the House of Assembly on July 24, 2012 by the Environmental Health Division, read “The year 2011 has been a difficult time for the Environmental Health Division due to fluctuation in staff, the extensive period taken to fill vacant posts and adjustment period required for new staff to become familiar with the culture of the organization and system overall.”
The report further stated “this dilemma is a result of heavy reliance on contract officers to fill positions with no guarantees for protracted employment.”
In light of this, the report added that the system has failed to successfully launch a succession plan for recruitment and training of nationals in a much needed profession.
“This is partly due to inflexibility in the execution of policies that guide recruitment and training of personnel… the Chief Environmental Health Officer (CEHO) is convinced that the adoption of some flexibility could be the solution to this problem.”
However, despite the disadvantages within the division, the existing staff is still able to provide appreciative levels of service to customers.
