NHIS Workers Urged To Eschew Indiscipline
Health insurance workers have been urged to eschew acts of indiscipline and work hard to attain the goals of the scheme.
Mr. Daniel Amekudzi, Human Resource Manager of the National Health Insurance Authority mentioned lateness and laziness as some of the factors militating against the achievement of higher productivity, adding that these elements constituted acts of indiscipline.
He was interacting with workers of the Awutu-Effutu-Senya Mutual Health Insurance Scheme (AESMHIS), after he had led a four-member team to conduct an HR audit into the operations of the scheme at Winneba.
Similar exercises were carried out at the Agona Swedru Municipal and Gomoa District Mutual Health Insurance Schemes by the team.
According to Mr. Amekudzi, the exercise formed part of initiatives designed by the NHIA to strengthen the general operations of the authority’s working machinery.
He told the workers that discipline was the ‘master key’ and most effective working instrument every formidable establishment or organisation could use to harness all human and material resources to improve its financial status and better service conditions of its workers.
“It is for this reason that workers of the NHIA at both national, regional and district levels are constantly being reminded of the need to cultivate a high sense of self-control and self- discipline and use these qualities as their hallmark to champion the course of the NHIA,” he said.
Mr. Amekudzi was happy at the enthusiasm with which the management and junior workers of the Awutu-Effutu-Senya Scheme discharged their assigned functions and advised them to maintain the tempo.
Mr. Josiah Doam Kittoe (Jnr.) manager of the AESMHIS, expressed appreciation for the visit and the interaction, saying it had gone a long way to assist workers of the scheme also to channel some of their grievances to the authority through the Human Resource Unit.
Some of their challenges included poor office accommodation, inadequate means of transport to support intensive rural sensitisation and mass registration exercises being implemented by the scheme, better conditions of service, and lack of improvement in the ICT system being used by the scheme.
