Recognizing the important role of Administrative Staff throughout the Government, the Ministry of Physical Planning Infrastructure Development hosted a one-day training session for its Administrative Officers on April 13, 2023, under the theme, “We are ONE team and we ROCK, Not just an Admin”.
The training was held in the Conference Room at the Ministry of Finance in Providenciales and was an ideal opportunity for staff to be taken out of their normal working environment to be recharged and re-energized.
The training was facilitated by Ms. Carmaine Ariza, Applications Support Officer/TCIG and Mrs. Melanie Smith, CEO of Talent Recruitment Group and had as its main objective, the assessment of team performance over the previous financial year as well as identification and discussion of a number of SmartStream do’s and don’ts. It also presented an opportunity for a number of team building, communication and deportment exercises as well as sharing of keys to on the job success.
The opening was attended by Permanent Secretary, Mr. Desmond Wilson, Deputy PS Mrs. Bridgette Newman, Financial Manager Ms. Shandera Hall and Head of Secretariat Ms. Shanetta Thompson.
Minister for Physical Planning and Infrastructure Development, Hon. Jamell Robinson, attended the closing ceremony and gave brief remarks before handing out the certificates to participants, while PS Wilson presented all participants with tokens of appreciation.
Commenting on the training, Minister Robinson noted, “I am thankful and appreciative to the Ministry staff for organizing such a timely and important training session. The administrative role is one of the most important roles within the Ministry of PPID which focus on the efficient operations of the departments to help improve positive results.
The training was very informative, engaging and interactive and there was no doubt that all staff were encouraged to do their own introspection of their work and attitude towards work and their colleagues and customers and then move forward refreshed and reinvigorated, ready to build upon existing and new knowledge as they positively impact the Ministry’s day to day operations.
