The Service Welfare Office has submitted a robust proposal for the institutionalisation of a Rewards and Recognition System (R&RS) in the Federal Civil Service. The focus of the Federal Civil Service Strategy and Implementation Plan 2017 — 2020 is the development of an Efficient, Productive, Incorruptible and Citizen-centered (EPIC) culture in the Civil Service. This cannot be achieved without the use of motivation, which ties incentives and rewards to better performance, thereby engendering both collaboration and cooperation from Civil Servants, and births strategic outcomes such as a well-motivated, disciplined, skilled and accountable Civil Service. The R&RS is also expected to enhance Staff personal development for career progression. The proposal is expected to be validated by key stakeholders in the sector, including Labour Unions at a Stakeholders Forum to be held shortly.
In compliance with the Pension Reform Act 2004 Section 9(3), the Federal Government flagged off the Group Life Assurance (GLA) Cover for its Employees in 2008, with retroactive effect from 1st July, 2004 when the Pensions Reforms Act was signed into Law, by appointing Insurance Companies and Brokers to provide Cover for its workers from 1st January to 31st December, 2008.
The Ethics and Professionalism Award, intended to be on monthly basis, recognizes a Civil Servant or Unit or Department that has exemplified the highest standards of professionalism and work ethic in course of their career or over a considerable period. This Award is for an officer who has made the greatest impact through Mentorship, on the life and development of a Mentee in achieving a specific personal or professional goal by providing training and guidance to one or more mentees in the Unit, Department or Ministry.
The Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation is set to institutionalize a robust Rewards and Recognition System (R&RS) in the Federal Civil Service to boost performance. This is in recognition of the fact that as the custodian of the Federal Government bureaucracy, the Federal Civil Service remains a key factor with influence and impact on all dimensions of government including performance improvement and delivery of services needed to achieve national development goals and good governance.
The Pension Reform Act 2014 provides that every employer of labor with not less than 5 employees must insure the employees to a mini-mum of 3 times of their annual total emoluments. This act was signed into law in 2004, marking the beginning of Group Life Assurance Scheme under the office of the Civil Service …
