No matter what you throw at it, it is resilient and bounces back, ready for more. That's what The Caribbean Centre for Development Administration (CARICAD) is aiming for in the public sector in its member states. In this article, we will dive into how CARICAD supported the Resilience Vision for the Public Sector of the Commonwealth of Dominica (PSCoD) within the framework of the Caribbean Charter for Public Services. Rosemund R. Warrington, CARICAD’s HR & ODE Specialist CARICAD recently concluded an Organisational Review and Reclassification (ORR) exercise in the PSCoD. This exercise responded to Dominica's National Resilience Development Strategy (NRDS) and its Public Sector Transformation (PST) Strategy (2021 – 2025), the latter led by CARICAD. The ORR comprised three significant components: Organisational Structure Review, Job Evaluation, and Job Reclassification. To achieve the objectives of the ORR, CARICAD adopted a holistic approach to assess the status of the Public Service against the National Vision for resilience in terms of capacity, structure, and compensation. In that regard, the ORR included a series of reviews and interventions designed to optimise organisational performance. The assignment provided essential insights regarding the human resource (HR) ‘infrastructure’ and the enabling environment required to facilitate good climate governance and resilient development for the Commonwealth of Dominica. The ORR was strategically aligned with the Charter for Caribbean Public Services. The Charter embodies the tenets of resilient organisations, which was the outcom the ORR. Generally, the Charter pillars and core princip promote good governance, service standards, accountability, better information processing, continuo capacity and competence enhancement, proactive analyses, and modernisation of legislation.
