Department and Section Heads from the Sector Economy and Tourism were given a presentation by Section Head of Personnel and Organization Policy (POB) Luud Hakkens relating to the human resources policies.
The meeting was in order for managers and staff members to deal with situations in a more informed manner, and according to regulations.
Sector Director, Miguel de Weever, gave a short introduction about the meeting, saying that we have a new organization structure, salary system, and the implementation of performance management. Because of these changes, and for persons who are new to government, it is important for managers to know what tools are at their disposal in dealing with certain situations.
Present at the meeting were the Departments and Sections of Economy and Tourism, namely: the Departments of Economic Policy and Research, Tourism Bureau, and Department of Permits and Licenses, Public Vending and Economic Control (V.O.S.E.C.).
Hakkens gave a brief historical perspective of the policies, explained some of the regulations, and received questions from the audience.
