- Donald A. Adams 2 | SEPTEMBER-OCTOBER 2021 TAMBARAN UPDATE “ ” NOTICEBOARD C Le R K ’ S m eS Sa g e Aim for consistency ...in our commitment to our jobs ImagIne if you planted a tree in your front yard, but after a while, decided it would look better in the backyard.

Then after a few months, you realised it would be better in the front yard.
So you dig it up and plant it again in the front yard.

not only will that tree fail to flourish, but it will also struggle to just survive.

In the same way, some of us are like that with our commitment to work.

We decide to be punctual, present and productive; and we do this for some time, and then uproot ourselves and start coming in late, taking extended lunch hours and neglecting to do or complete given tasks for a few months.

Then we start all over again, the model employee habits.
Then uproot ourselves and go back to the old behaviours.

eventually we come back and are catching up before the year ends, or when appraisals are due.

If we are going to be inconsistent with our commitment to the roles we have been entrusted with, along with the public office positions we occupy, we will never prosper as an organisation, nor will we ever be valuable to the organisation that we serve.
We will also never experience what is means to be grateful for the gift of employment or be satisfied of the reward for work actually done with excellence.

This is because of the fact that there are two kinds of employees in the world.

The honest worker, who works, and the dishonest worker, who shirks (avoids work).

So, lets ask ourselves, this question… “When was the last time we received ‘an honest day’s pay for an honest day’s work’?” now there’s a line you don’t often hear nowadays; honest labour.
It sounds like old-fashioned language from a bygone era; because values such as integrity, accountability and excellence which drive consistent commitment to responsibilities FORMULAR FOR CONSISTENT AND COMMITMENT replaced by not so are now being favourable labels such as complacency and corruption.
Honest labour should never be contaminated by irresponsible behaviour; and such behaviour should not be tolerated and entertained at the expense of bringing disrepute to an organisation or hindering its progression.

I take this opportunity to encourage all staff and management of this great institution to resurrect the pride and appreciation of work as a privilege; not a birthright... no matter what kind of job it may be.
Though it might not be the easiest, best paid, most enjoyable or highest prestige work in the world; it is still about working diligently in a fair environment, doing work that is legitimate and useful; one which provides you with a sense of satisfaction when the day is done; where you get the job done to the best of your ability.

We are each given the same number of hours in a day to work; how are we using this time?

Every issue, we interview Parliamentary Service staff to gauge their opinions on a topical issue or event.
Below, feature six of our colleagues sharing their views on the “No Jab, No Job ” issue.

JIMMY FALE Static Guard - Security Division STANLEY SAMSON Driver - Building & Maintenance Division WALO RAVU Administrative Assistant - Building & Precincts Division take ALOT of people are saying that they should be given the choice to decide whether or not to be vaccinated, but I think those who are employed and working should the vaccine.
I’ve seen the impact in Eastern and Western Highlands provinces, where we have been really affected.

I know the virus is real, as I’ve seen COVID-19 take lives.

Many have got the virus, many have died and some are still in isolation at health facilities.

Every one of us should choose to be vaccinated to safeguard our families and ourselves.

NAOMI MAIKA Trainee Plumber - Building & Precincts Division PEOPLE should take the vaccine if they have to go to work because safeguarding lives is important.
The vaccine reduces the risk of getting really sick or dying from the virus.

WANT TO TAKE PART?

Want to air your views or suggest a Voxpops question?

Why not, give us a call on Ext 419/504 or email us on mediadivision.parliament@gmail.com WE NEED to be given the option of taking the vaccine, because it’s our life.

Some have already taken the vaccine and some due to underlying health issues, have died even after been vaccinated.
COVID-19 is new and I want to get more information about the vaccine before I can make my choice.

I understand that COVID-19 is affecting us, however, the vaccine must be safe.

I’VE TAkEN the vaccine mainly to safeguard my family and my workmates.

The decision is up to us but we can see people dying from COVID-19.

I believe that prevention is always better than cure.
If we are not following health protocols such as social distancing then getting the vaccine is one way of helping us be the solution to reducing the likelihood of getting serious ill or dying from the virus.

AILEEN WORRI HRM Officer - Human Resource Management Division RUEBEN PHILIP Trainee - Buildings & Precincts Division IT wAs a difficult decision for me to get vaccinated.

I think people are afraid of vaccination because of the lack of information on COVID-19 and how safe the vaccines are.
Companies and organisations enforcing “No Jab, No Job” should educate their workers on the virus, vaccines and the importance of health and safety of workers first, so they can make their choice.

As workers, we must practice health protocols for a safe working environment because of the risk of getting infected with the virus outside and spreading it into our workplaces, whether we are vaccinated or not.
to take I DON’T agree with what some companies and ogranisations are doing by forcing lot of people people are taking the vaccine because they need jobs.

More information on the vaccine is needed, so people can make an informed choice.
