Ms. Dorine Monica Brooks, Director, International Labour Agencies and Information, ILO Desk Officer, Ministry of Labour and Social Security, Jamaica describes the benefit of operational planning.

“Each Section of the Ministry of Labour and Social Security is required to submit a yearly operational plan, or operational work plan, to its Monitoring and Planning Unit. The proposed work schedule is taken into account, and thereafter performance reviews are held on a quarterly basis. It is here that all Offices, including that of the ILO Desk, are required to outline all work tasks accomplished in any given period. This exercised our features, prompting offices and departments, so increasing efforts in delivering the required work output for each period.”
