Minister Idith Alexander embarks on workplace visits

The Minister for Employment and Human Resource Planning, Idith Alexander, has undertaken her first official workplace visits since assuming office. Two tourism establishments – STORY Seychelles and Berjaya Beau Vallon Bay Resort & Casino – were selected for the occasion.

During the visits, Minister Alexander met with employees both collectively and individually, followed by tours of key departments. The ministerial delegation later held a debriefing session with senior management.

Employees raised several concerns, including:

• Qualified Seychellois being overlooked for senior positions in favour of expatriate workers
• Shortages of manpower in certain departments
• Ineffective management of absenteeism
• Issues surrounding recruitment procedures
