Dear Editor
I WAS pleased to see the letter (in SN of 20/04/16) from Mr. E B John, a leader and one of my mentors in Human Resource Management, complaining as I did earlier, about the insipidity of the ad for entrants to the Bertram Collins College of the Public Service.
As a matter of fact, Mr John is one of a galaxy of Human Resource Management (HRM) professionals with whom I have had the benefit of working in the 1960s—1970s, the halcyon heydays of HRM in Guyana; included among these were the trail blazers like Dr Bertram Collins and Harold B Davis. They initiated an enviable track record of world-class professional HRM.
I am now inclined to the view that those responsible for setting up the Bertram Collins College of the Public Service should do some further reflection in order to pre-empt a faux pas. After all, Human Resource Management is a core function of staff development, which inevitably is the raison d’etre for the college.
