ADVANCING INSTITUTIONAL EXCELLENCE WITH SENSITIZATION ON REVIEWED HR POLICIES
The College has embarked on an initiative to enhance institutional sustainability through a sensitization of its recently reviewed Human Resource instruments. In a workshop held in Naivasha, the KMTC Board of Directors, led by Chairperson Mr. Joseah K. Cheruiyot, and the Management team, led by CEO Dr. Kelly Oluoch, engaged with stakeholders on HR policies and procedures as approved by the Public Service Commission (PSC).
Facilitated by Public Service Commission consultants, the forum emphasized aligning KMTC’s HR policies with national regulations to meet emerging institutional needs and future-proof the College’s operations. The updated instruments cover organizational structure, grading, staff establishment, career guidelines, human resource policy and manual, as well as the salary structure, ensuring that the College remains competitive in talent attraction, employee motivation, and service delivery.
The reviewed HR instruments aim to, among others, entrench the promotion and reporting of National Values and Principles of Governance in the management of human resource.
Speaking during the event, Mr. Cheruiyot highlighted the significance of these reforms: “The reviewed HR instruments are key in supporting KMTC’s ambitious expansion goals, including the growth in number of campuses, broadening course offerings, and accommodating the increased number of students. By embedding equity, efficiency, and innovation in human resource management, these reforms enhance our capacity to deliver on our mandate while fostering a motivated and high-performing workforce.”
Dr. Kelly Oluoch echoed the Chairperson’s sentiments, emphasizing the role of these instruments in ensuring KMTC’s sustainability: “At KMTC, our strength lies in our human resource. By equipping our staff with clear guidelines and career growth pathways, we are investing in a workforce that is motivated, empowered, and ready to deliver transformative healthcare education and services.”
The five-day forum was held from 18th to 22nd November, 2024 in Naivasha. It highlighted the College’s commitment to adopting best practices in human resource management, aligning with its strategic mission of developing fit-for-purpose health professionals through transformative training, research and consultancy.
Additionally, Ms. Emelda Mogoi, Assistant Director of National Cohesion and Values, conducted an enlightening session on National Values and Principles of Governance, as outlined in Article 10 of the 2010 Constitution.
