Providing a comprehensive and effective training policy for Frontline Staff, e. g., customer care training, instituting a Complaints Procedure for the Ministry, she added.
 
She proffered the next steps forward for the Ministry to adopt, such as the already developed service charter, which should be reviewed with best practice and made available to all clients, including customers and Stakeholders, using the website.
 
She added that the Ministry should institute a reward system to recognize staff who excel at the delivery of services to customers, e.g., monthly/quarterly/annual best departmental staff recognition.
 
She said furthermore, regular training and re-training of staff on all aspects of service delivery to equip them with pre-requisite knowledge, skills, and attitudes is key.
