CONSTITUTION AND ADMINISTRATION

Service permanent establishment. The effect of this scheme is to give very small increases to the more junior single women officers and substantial increases to the more senior single women officers. Single women will now receive full parity when they reach the final point of the professional timescale.

In mid-1962 an establishment for a new Organization Surveys Unit was approved, on the basis of recommendations prepared by a leading United Kingdom firm of management consultants, and steps were taken to recruit the necessary staff. The Unit forms part of the Colonial Secretariat, and will advise departments on ways in which modern techniques of management organization can assist them to operate more efficiently and economically. It will do this by examining departmental staff structures and the allocation and co-ordination of work; by work measurement, mechanization and method study; by the investigation of operation costs and by in- troducing improved methods of personnel training.
