Uasin Gishu Governor Jackson Mandago on Thursday graced the Institute of Human Resource Management (IHRM) conference at Boma Inn Eldoret.
Mandago appreciated that the department of Human Resource plays a crucial role, including recruiting and retaining suitable staff for growth and smooth running of activities in every organisation.
"Management of staff can be very hectic in every organization but effective structures guiding Human Resource come in to ease this through recruitment of suitable workforce," Mandago said.
"Even in county governments, effective Human Resource management has helped us manage our staff as we ensure that activities move smoothly. It (HR) has also ensured that we have competent staff," added Mandago.
The County Chief furthered: "HR function plays a serious role because it also determines discipline for staff who go against set regulations."
"A good relationship between employers and employees has also been created by effective HR."
