President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has challenged stakeholders in the public sector to devise strategies aimed at enhancing productivity within public service organisations.
This, he noted, was crucial for ensuring that productivity-based payments become a standard principle for effective salary administration.
He said this while addressing the 11th Annual Conference of Chairpersons of Governing Boards, Councils, Chief Directors, and Chief Executives of the Ghana Public Services at Kwahu Nkwatia in the Eastern Region today, Wednesday, May 22, 2024.
He admonished them to embrace and initiate measures to incorporate digitalization and business processes in the public service.
“The Public Services Commission in conjunction with the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission and the governing board should develop strategies to improve productivity levels in public service organisations so that paying for productivity becomes an established principle for effective salary administration.
“The Public Services Commission should formulate regulations and standards that manage the human resource of the public services in more scientific ways for better outputs.”
“The Public Services Commission should hasten its process of amending the Act governing operations of the commission. These revisions are intended to strengthen the commission in delivering its core functions under the constitution.
“All public services organisations work with the Public Services Commission as a regulator in a collaborative cooperative and committed manner to establish standard practices across the entire public sector. This will enhance greatly the trust of citizens and employees alike in public sector organisations,” he stated.
The event was on the theme “Repositioning Ghana’s Public Sector to Embrace Digital Transformation for Better Efficiency in the Midst of Global Economic Challenges”.
He also asked them to rise to the challenge of digital transformation to foster a stronger and more resilient economy.
