He described the Chartered Institute of Personnel Management as partners in progress towards the enhancement of qualitative service delivery and added that the global body through well recognised certificates has continued to be in the vanguard of promoting training and development, performance management via monitoring and evaluation as well as goal setting and feedback mechanism built an efficient workforce in the State and the country at large.
