employees, as part of observances for Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Month.
From mid-afternoon over the last two Fridays, inter-departmental sessions were held at the Training Division of the Department of Public Service and in the Ministry’s compound where staff competed for prizes for their various departments. At the Ministry, staffers competed in board games such as Chinese checkers, dominoes and a few childhood favourites like hopscotch and Chinese skipping as well as karaoke, in fulfilment of the ‘stress relief’ aspect of the programme.
All of the activities were done in an effort to motivate and boost staff morale and to assure them of management’s concern for their health and well-being.
This year, OHS Month is being observed under the theme, “Workplace Stress: A Collective Challenge”.
The Ministry collaborated with the Public Health Ministry, the National AIDS Programme Secretariat (NAPS) and DaSilva’s Optical Service to host the event.
