The Volta Regional Minister, Dr. Archibald Yao Letsa, has urged human resource personnel in the Local Government Service to execute their duties with a high level of professionalism.
He stated that the success and survival of every organization depends on the effectiveness and competence level of its human resources.
He was speaking at the maiden edition of the Volta Regional Human Resource Conference held in Ho.
The Regional Minister acknowledged the contribution of the Human Resource Department of the Regional Coordinating Council to its attaining the enviable position of being ranked first among the 16 regions in Ghana.
Dr. Letsa stressed that Human Resource Management is a critical resource in the attainment of organizational goals.
He, therefore, appealed to the Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies (MMDAs) and the Coordinating Directors to appreciate the role that human resource practitioners play in the various assemblies.
“They are the software, don’t concentrate only on the hardware”, he said.
The Chief Director of the Office of the Head of Local Government Service, James Oppong- Mensah, commended the Volta Regional Coordinating Council (VRCC) on organising the HR conference.
He implored the personnel to continue giving off their best to complement the government’s efforts in developing the country.
The Acting Director of the Volta Regional Coordinating Council (VRCC), Augustus Awity, said the role of the human resource manager has been underestimated for a very long time.
He added that HR management is the “fulcrum around which all other professions at the MMDAs revolve”.
The Volta Regional Human Resource Manager , Cyril Dzinyanu Xatse, commended the Office of the Head of the Local Government Service for upgrading the Human Resource Unit to full department.
He urged his colleague human resource professionals to hold in high esteem, the public service tenets in the discharge of their duties.
The maiden Human Resource Conference was held under the theme, "Enhancing Productivity in the Local Government Service; The role of the Human resource practitioner".
It was a four-day program organized in collaboration with the Local Government Service's human resource professionals.
