MDPI holds workshop on management

THE Management Development and Productivity Institute (MDPI) has organised a 10-day office management and administration course for three organisations in Accra.
The participants were drawn from the Graphic Communications Group Limited (GCGL), the Volta River Authority (VRA) and the Customary Lands Secretariat at the Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources.
They were taken through records management, effective communication skills, report writing, office management and administration, among others.
The Director of MDPI, Mr T. K. A. Bibilazu, urged them not to become bosses in their offices just after attending the course.
Rather, they should be agents of positive change in the work they did and be prepared to share the new skills and knowledge they had acquired with their colleagues.
“The result of this workshop must be seen in the work you do in the office and the way you handle your clients,” he stressed.
He later told the Daily Graphic that the purpose of the course was to equip participants to perform better at their workplaces to increase productivity.
Mr Bibilazu appealed to the government to help improve infrastructure in the institute in order for it to compete effectively with other training institutions in the country.
A training consultant of the MDPI and chairman for the event, Mr Michael Kosi, explained the importance and relevance of some of the subjects and asked the participants to read the various subject areas further.
For his part, the Course Prefect, Nana Okyempem Adu VII, thanked the resource persons for the skills and knowledge they had imparted to participants and promised that they would perform better at their workplaces.
