cdeweeverandpeggyanndros17092012Great Bay:--- The Ministry of Public Health Social Development & Labor introduced name badges to their staff of the Departments of Labor Affairs, Social Affairs, Collective Preventive Services, Community Development and Public Health recently.
The purpose of wearing these mandatory badges, is so that the names of the workers will be visible to their clients and clients in turn will know who they are conducting business with.

Having name badges introduced to staff, especially those dealing directly with the public has been of utter importance to Minister of Public Health Social Development & Labor, Cornelius De Weever, as this portrays a good presentation to the public.

"I have received compliments and complaints from many people but when I ask them what is the name of the person who provided the service I get a description instead. With the badges our clients can now report by name as we continue to improve our customer service, said Minister De Weever."
Head of the Department of Labor Affairs, Peggy Ann Dros stated that "being able to be readily identifiable to our customers is important, giving them the opportunity to praise us when we do things well, and inform us of areas we can improve on. Additionally, we will continue to strive towards 'customer-empowerment' by implementing a Ministry-wide Complaint System, with the intention to launch this within short."
The name badges are a mandatory part of the presentation of all the staff members that received them, and all staff members are required to wear the name badge, visible at all times to the customer.

    Dr. De Weever this is just pure nonsense. I am a elderly senior I came to your office to
    continue to beg for me to get back my onderstand and doctorcard. I cant hear anything
    up to now. Instead of fouling up with the St. Maarten Medical Center. Address issues
    for example" THE PELICAN WORKERS, THE SENIORS WITH THEIR DOCTORS AND
    ONDERSTAND AND YOU WILL BE DOING SOMETHING. TRY PUT A NAME TAG AS
    THE EMPTY HEAD MINISTER ON YOU AND WALK AROUND WITH IT.

    You small brain, pea brain, illiterate bunch NEED to get out of St.Maarten, and see how the world opereates in the "21st" century. Every place of employment should provide need tags for their employees, in most places employees cannot enter their work place WITHOUT their ID, For the love of God people STOP complaining about every and anything, you or the country will be able to move forward it you continue to hold yourself back,, we all must get accustom to changes, if we did not have changes we will stay in the same rut going no place in a hurry, would you be happy if St.Maarten stayed as it was fifty years ago with one decent
    tourist hotel (little Bay) where would you be on the mapl Please STOP the negativity.

    Yesterday I was in contact with a senior citizen who told me her Electricy is cut, her water is cut, Min Deweever take away her doctor card and onderstand, and when she speak to the minister she say the Minister curse her off with a lot of bad words, I was shock , now I really do believe that this is a bad minister who is very inhumane, NATIONAL ALLIANCE WILLIAM MARLIN and the Independent members has to realize that this is happening under their watch, they are in colision with this heartless Minister.... that Minister is really a wolf in sheep clothing as he goes in from the media on radio & tv and says one thing and make it sounds like he is genuine while behind the scene he is killing the old people and poor people by taking away their onderstand and doctor cards, NATIONAL ALIANCE, Patrick Illidge, Romain Laville, Frans Richardson its happening on your watch

  • wow
    avatar

    unbelievable but true, these things are happening on St.Maarten, the poor is hurting and nobody seems to care , all of the MP's have their big salary and is out of touch with the people, MP's hear the people crying, they are hurting, answer their calls before 2014, the people is not as stupid as you may want to believe , we are just looking and observing and 2014 they will speak loud and clear, Minister Deweever has to go by 2014 or before, he is a bad Minister and pretending to be an angel, that man is a Devil in disguise

    RENE RICHARDSON DAUGHTER

    OTHERS SIT ON THE SIDE LINE, WHILE WHOLE FAMILIES ARE PLACED
    EDUCATION OR NOT, THEY GOT GOVERNMENT JOB

    You are absolutely correct with what you wrote, except that her married name is Dros. She was not qualified for the job, neither did they advertise it. They just put who they want where they want above others who know the job better, are better qualified and have more experience in that field.
    In this place it is not what you know but who you know and how you know them. A lot of favoritism going on in this place. Rene was a crook and a convict, but DP made sure they give him a job with a high paying salary even though he is already collecting his pension.

  • please stop Connie

    It is extremely terrible that we denigrate the minister in this manner on this blog when all he is doing is carrying out the law. Onderstandt is not an entitlement. This is something that you have to apply for yearly. Some of us younger people have no use for or parents we are the ones to take care of them not government. Some of us have apartments and such and still want to claim onderstandt this is cheating at the highest level and must be stopped as this is tax payers money that could be put to better use. Stop your griping and take care of your parents.
