Workers of the Mayor and City Council of Georgetown (M&CC) are yet to be paid wages and salaries for this month and there has been no official word as to when this development will become a reality.Yesterday was the entity’s stipulated pay date.However,Kyle Korver Hawks Jersey, efforts are continually being made on the part of the municipality to address issues that could directly affect the well-being of workers, Public Relations Officer, Royston King asserted yesterday.As part of this quest, the municipality yesterday held a second seminar for its frontline workers with a focus on customer relations,Deion Sanders Falcons Jersey, customer care and HIV/AIDS in the workplace. “The reason we are doing this again is because we are concerned about the welfare of our employees and the level of customer care we are giving. We believe that these sessions will enhance the knowledge of our workers, some of whom are already familiar with certain protocols at City Hall in terms of the way we treat our customers,” King said.According to him, yesterday’s session, which was held at the National Library, was geared at enhancing workers’ knowledge to improve on their skills and saw participation of frontline workers from the seven departments of the municipality.The issue of HIV/AIDS, in particular, has of recent taken major precedence in terms of awareness efforts.According to Municipal HIV/AIDS Co-ordinator, Dale Beresford, the whole venture comes as part of a one-year project which was kicked into motion last August.It is funded by the Health Sector Development Unit of the Ministry of Health.The project is valued at some $15M and is intended to help mitigate the impact of HIV/AIDS among workers of the Georgetown municipality.
