Governance and Capability Service 44 years’ service Last day 26.04.20 Comments… “From my perspective on the association, thank you for all the efforts from Mark Carroll, current and past executive teams, current and past association employees, and current and past representatives in the workplace for all they have achieved and continue to achieve. “It has been my managerial experience that having a good working relationship with the reps has positively contributed to a happier work environment with far less conflict and I have appreciated their input into workplace matters.

It has been my experience that the vast majority of people I have engaged with across SAPOL are positive and enthusiastic and keen to contribute to keeping the community safe. I will miss the interaction. “I wish both SAPOL and the association well as they venture into the futuristic workforce, one where evidence-based research, and my experience, shows respect, gender and cultural equity, flexible work practices and true engagement are important parts of a harmonious workplace. “Harmony equals greater productivity and a happier workplace, thereby leading to positive outcomes for community, the very reason we exist.”
