(CNS): Several staff members from the Health Service Authority, including five managers, have completed various leadership and management courses at the Civil Service College. The HSA said it was investing in leadership and management training for individuals in various positions within the organisation to develop the competencies they need to excel in their roles and keep abreast of industry changes and trends. Director of Support Services Racquel Sutherland, who completed the ILM Level 5 programme, said the professional development and skill enhancement would drive positive change in the HSA.
“There is considerable evidence to show that leadership and management can make a significant difference in organisational performance, with good leadership steering improvements in public service performance,” she said in a press release. The other managers doing the same course were Support Services Manager Sharon Buckley, Training and Development Manager Marsha Eleweanya, and Human Resources Manager for Recruitment Cashema Clarke. That programme is designed for people who are in middle-management positions and have received previous leadership or management training.
Some of the topics covered in the programme include becoming an effective leader, developing and leading teams to achieve organisational goals and objectives, and developing a culture to support innovation and improvement. Other HSA graduates from the college include Legal Counsel Garcia Kelly, who completed the ILM.
