The Minister of Employment, Labour Relations, and Pensions, Ignatius Baffour-Awuah, has emphasized that while the inauguration of the new office complex for the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission (FWSC) marks a significant achievement, it should not be seen as an excuse for complacency.

During the official opening of the facility on Friday, November 15, the Minister urged FWSC staff to ensure that the quality of service they deliver matches the high standards of the newly upgraded workspace.

“I am confident that the new edifice will give you the self-satisfaction you need to work in an efficient and effective manner,” he said to the gathering, which included mostly workers of the Commission."

“You can have the best of office buildings, but if the service is poor, it means nothing. I want to entreat the staff to justify why the state invested in the facility,” he said.

He went on to reiterate the government’s commitment to fostering an environment where workers’ well-being is prioritized, which in turn enhances productivity across the public sector.

The newly inaugurated office complex, envisioned by President Akufo-Addo, is designed to provide FWSC with a modern and well-equipped environment to improve service delivery.

The Minister concluded by expressing confidence that the new edifice would provide the staff with the self-satisfaction needed to work efficiently and effectively, while also urging them to focus on fulfilling the Commission’s critical mandate of advising the government on wage policies and workers’ conditions.
