- reinforcing fairness, accountability, and due process in personnel management
THE Ministry of Human Services and Social Security, on Wednesday morning, hosted a refresher session with the Public Service Commission (PSC), focusing on the proper application of disciplinary procedures within the public service.
The session, attended by the Ministry’s Personnel Team and Permanent Secretary, Dr. Erica Forte, was designed to enhance the team’s practical understanding of the disciplinary process and ensure that all actions remain fully aligned with the Public Service Rules and the Commission’s established guidelines.
The interactive engagement provided a platform for open dialogue and case-based learning, allowing participants to deepen their grasp of procedural requirements and best practices in addressing staff-related issues.
Dr. Forte underscored the Ministry’s ongoing commitment to transparency, fairness, and accountability in managing personnel matters, noting that adherence to established disciplinary frameworks is vital to maintaining public trust and organisational integrity.
The Ministry emphasised that strong collaboration with the Public Service Commission ensures that justice is upheld and that all disciplinary matters are handled with consistency, professionalism, and respect for due process.
This initiative forms part of the Ministry’s broader efforts to build institutional capacity, promote ethical governance, and strengthen human resource management systems across the public sector.
