 The National Youth Service Corps NYSC has organized a workshop for employers to exchange ideas on operations and enable an efficient working environment for core members. Plus TV Africa Ngozika or HSC, who monitored the employer's workshop in Lagos, tells us more. The 2021 edition is themed optimizing the NYSC core employer's partnership for national development in the context of new normal. The Lagos State NYSC coordinator Edwin Megwa, who was represented by Esther Otoyo, drew the attention of the participants to some shortcomings on the path of core employers which need to be tackled. Number one, delay in applying or not applying at all for the services of core members and expecting them to be posted. Two, increasing rejection of core members. Three, aiding core members to stage manage their own rejection. Four, on the utilization of core members. Five, delay in issuance of monthly clearance to deserving core members. Some employers share the challenges they encounter with core members and spoke on their expectations. The challenges we have is that usually they send someone from managing someone that studied business admin or sending someone that studied economies. And our system is actually digital too. We just do most of the digital market and not like the physical sales revenue too. So we really usually don't have where to fix the core members too. So we actually have challenges of, oh, we don't want to reject, but if we accept you, we don't want you to be redundant. They expect them when they get there to meet up with their KPIs. Core members at the workshop explained why their colleagues want some employers to reject their deployment to place of primary assignments. Why some core members necessitates their rejection? Maybe the company doesn't have an accommodation due to distance from where they stay to the company. Some of them, they feel like the company won't pay enough. Because if the company is paying them enough money, I don't think anybody will look at distance. I mean their transportation will be covered and all of that stuff. It is hoped that critical actions will be taken concerning all the issues raised at this forum. One of the highlights of the event was an award of recognition to the best employer of the year.
