New WIT Database set
to prompt officers' ideas
Quick WIT: CSP Gordon Yeung joins in a training session for Regional Co-ordinators |
To promote a Force culture of knowledge sharing and contribution, Service Quality Wing's Work Improvement Team (WIT) Database will launch mid-October, allowing staff to see suggestions contributed by WITs of all formations, and their latest status.
The Database is a central repository of all WIT initiatives, a POINT application enabling online processing, evaluation, updating and status checking of suggestions.
Representatives from every formation's WIT will input suggestions through POINT where Regional Co-ordinators of Chief Inspector rank will add their comments and provide updates on the progress of follow-up action.
SQW will screen the suggestions together with the comments, and disseminate them to the concerned formations for action. All officers are welcome to browse and search the ideas submitted and screened.
Chief Superintendent (Performance Review) Gordon Yeung Ying-wai said: "The WIT Database is part of Force Knowledge Management. In the past, initiatives of WITs could not be shared by other formations as they were only retained in the parent formation. Since there was no central system to administrate and store these initiatives, duplication of effort may have been incurred in tackling similar problems encountered by different formations.
"With the WIT Database, more time and resources can be saved and we hope Force morale can be further boosted by facilitating ease of contribution to the continuous improvement process. In order to promote the use of the Database, a user-friendly design has been adopted which requires only basic computer knowledge. Bilingual input is another feature of the database aiming to broaden readership."
Training courses were recently held for WIT representatives and Regional Co-ordinators.
OffBeat attended one of them on September 14 and attendees welcomed the Database saying it avoided duplication of work, gave recognition to the WITs and allowed everyone to know the status of the suggestions lodged.
The Database is now being tested and its POINT address is:
