A human resource audit is imminent for the National and Agricultural Research and Extension Institute (NAREI). Such a process is characterised by a comprehensive method to review current human resource policies, procedures, documentation and systems to identify needs for improvement and enhancement of the human resources function as well as to assess compliance with changing legislations, rules and procedures.
To facilitate the process, the organisation is seeking the services of a Consultant.
Moreover, an advertisement published in the daily newspapers outlined that “the purpose of this audit is to recognise strengths and identify any need for improvement in the human resources function.”
As such, the audit will take into consideration the human resource needs of all NAREI’s staffers and locations countrywide. It is therefore expected that the process will help to reveal problem areas and provide the necessary recommendations and suggestions to guide an improved way forward.
The Mon Repos, East Coast Demerara headquartered NAREI was established following the assent of the National Agricultural Research and Extension Institute Act 2010 in March 2011. Its creation expanded the services offered by the then National Agricultural Research Institute, which was formed in 1984. It’s main focus has been on promoting greater efficiency in the crops and agricultural product industry; providing enhanced services in Agricultural Research and Extension and Crop Protection, and allowing effective administration and regulation of trade, commerce and export of crops and agricultural products.
