Feature of the Week: GPD’s Administration Department involves engaging interaction, which often Administration: The administration section of GPD is the hub of the Department whose primary responsibilities encompasses the successful daily operation of the Department.

Success is achieved by consistently meeting and exceeding the customer’s needs and by the employees experiencing job satisfaction and being appropriately remunerated.
It stands to reason, then, that success at GPD involves planning, coordination, customer interaction, job costing, invoicing, human resource management and documentation.

Further, proper coordination requires a collaboration, if we are to ensure that the needs of the Department are appropriately addressed.

Pressing concerns must be discussed and the necessary steps taken to resolve all of the issues involved.
Plans for the development of staff and the forward progression of Government Printing are of on-going concern here at the plant.

Customer in discussions with clients, understanding their needs, and ensuring that the desired end result is achieved.
The customer interaction process, though simple is quite extensive ranging from the receptionist who answers the phone and greets them as they enter the building, to the person that engages them via the phone to discuss concerns, answering questions, sending proofs via email and giving assistance where needed.
Job costing is an initiative that was implemented in an effort to replenish resources that were depleted by providing services for other Ministries/Departments that have budgetary provisions for printing.

Currently, all requisitioned jobs sent to GPD are assessed, the amount of paper and ink determined, the price for those resources calculated and transmitted to the relevant Ministry/ Department.

The requesting agencies are then required to remit payment in the amount calculated.
The administration section of GPD is headed by Mr. Michael Humes, Acting Deputy Director.

He is assisted by Mrs. Shirley Walker-Ferguson, Supervisor, who is responsible for the day-to-day operation of the Department.
Other members of the administrative staff include: Mr. Philip Major, Supervisor, Pressroom Mr. Simeon Ambrose, Supervisor, Supplies Ms. Dencie Brown, Human Resource Mr. Derek Newry, Assistant Supervisor, Pressroom Mrs. Edna Rolle, Chief Composer Operator, Pre-Press Mr. Stephan Collins, Trainee Technician Mr. Reuben Rolle, Clerk Mrs. Philis Kemp, Clerk (Secretary to Mr. Humes) Mr. Dax Deveaux, Clerk, Supplies Mr. Anthony Fawkes, Stores Assistant, Supplies Ms. Shanda Sears, Receptionist Mrs. Shirley Walker-Ferguson is responsible for the day-to-day management of GPD, thereby providing administrative assistance to the Acting Deputy Director.

Pressroom Mr. Philip Major supervises the Pressroom, where there are four pressmen deployed under his supervision.

Upon receiving the requisitions for print jobs from various Ministries or Departments, the decision is then made as to which Press the jobs are to be sent to for printing.

1 0 1 s n o i t a l e R ATTENTION GRABBER There is nothing wrong with basking in a little lime light, it can be an ego booster, but it is also attractive when you know how and when to turn it down a few notches.

Attention seekers seem desperate and make fools of themselves trying to constantly turn focus in their direction.

When you selfishly, obviously and cunningly have to make everything all about you ALL THE TIME it tells people you don’t get attention from anything or anyone else, any other time.
