The Nandi County Public Service Board is putting in place measures to enhance service delivery among staff.

These strategies include the development of Public Service Policy, implementation of Performance Contracting and Appraisal system as well as carrying out regular staff assessment.

The Board is now partnering with ICT Sector to roll out the Human Resources Management System (HRMS) that would enhance proper maintenance of employment information and staff management. This system requires all the county employees to register, submit all their credentials and present their biometric details into the system through the County human resource personnel.

Today the stakeholders led by the CPSB met to assess on the progress of the system's roll out. According to the Chief Officer for Administration & Public Service- Philip Towett, the Public Service Sector is focussing on enhancing effective staff management for a result oriented Service delivery. Towett said this platform will provide data to support routine and repetitive human resource decision making and planning.

Speaking during the meeting, Eliseba Arusei, a member of the Board, pointed out that the system will also be integrated with the online Jobs portal rolled out for Public Service Board so as to help in managing Human resource need assessment and the recruitment process.

The system's implementation is geared towards improving performance and productivity by county employees countywide. This will be achieved through the system's ability to manage all the employees' information, provide for training and capacity building needs, manage staff appraisals, handling promotion, demotion & transfer, provide information on staff operations and safety, managing staff absenteeism and turnover, promoting public service ethics and even handling discipline matters.

The Chief officer for ICT and e-Government, Jonathan Misoi highlighted that such automations will greatly impact the County in the realization of its transformative agenda through integration of technology thus enhances efficiency especially in management and Service delivery. He added that the ICT Sector will soon realize its objective of automating the operations by all county departments.
