In addition to the priority specific human
resource requirements discussed under the previous two
management
actions, the implementation of this management
plan is likely to have a number of other
implications
for the MMNR staff establishment. Some key
shortfalls have already been recognised, and are
discussed
elsewhere in this plan (for example the
strengthening of Ticket Inspection Units, see Tourism
Management
Programme Action 2.3). However, a comprehensive
review of the current staff establishment, including
the
identification of any key shortfalls in staff
numbers or specific training needs, will be essential to ensure
that
MMNR management has the ability to implement the
plan. As a first step towards addressing this issue,
a
human resource capacity needs assessment will be
undertaken to identify priority needs and to
recommend
how these can best be addressed. In addition, and
building on the results of this assessment, a formal
MMNR
Staff Training Programme will be developed
covering all key aspects of MMNR staff roles, including, as
appropriate,
both in-situ and ex-situ training
courses, to ensure that all staff have the capacity to carry out
their
assigned duties.
