Based on the culture of continuous positive change and creativity for development, His Excellency Dr. Raed Mohammed bin Shams, Director General of the Institute of Public Administration (BIPA), stressed that the Institute seeks to create an environment that stimulates and encourages the qualitative achievement of its employees by establishing positivity in thinking and behavior and including happiness as a lifestyle in the work environment. This is in order to facilitate the achievement of the Institute’s strategic objectives, which mainly aim to develop government performance to achieve sustainable development.

Bin Shams indicated that the committee will follow up on developing its plans and initiatives on scientific, measurable foundations to monitor the rates of general satisfaction and positive change rates in the performance of all the institute’s employees, adding that the institute believes in positive change and therefore seeks to implement it internally to be an extension of its four strategic goals calling for developing services to keep pace with aspirations, and supporting sustainable development processes with developed policies, optimal management and leadership of resources, and a culture of continuous positive change and creativity for development, with the aspiration to serve the nation and the citizen within Sustainable development goals included in the Institute’s multiple services.
