Human Resource Officers (HROs) hold a pivotal role in seamlessly integrating newly registered members into the check-off system. Recognizing this, NONM has engaged HROs from across the country, in the April – May quarter, to foster closer ties and fortify the bond between NONM and these essential stakeholders.

During the gatherings, delegates highlighted their accomplishments in enrolling nurses into the check-off system following recent recruitment drives. Additionally, they discussed the challenges they face in their roles and collaborated on potential solutions.

Scholastica Jimu, the Programs Manager for NONM, expressed optimism that the workshops would address the challenges encountered in enrolling newly recruited members into the check-off system.

She said: “NONM appreciates the vital role by our HROs in effecting our members on check-off and these meetings have brought out the successes,challenges and recommendations which are beneficial for a sustainable check-off system at all levels.

One attendee from the South West Zone shared insights, noting that the workshop significantly enhanced HROs’ understanding of NONM’s operations and improved relations between the two entities.

He stated, “The workshop today has strengthened the relationship between NONM and HROs. Previously, we operated as separate entities with different objectives, but now we have united to pursue a common goal. This alignment will enhance our efficiency as everything we didn’t understand about NONM’s workings is now clear.”

These workshops were conducted under the project “Closing the Gap: Sufficient, Competent, and Motivated Nurses/Midwives,” funded by the Norwegian Nurses’ Organisation.
