In his remarks, the Cabinet Secretary urged all employees to stay motivated in their work and to deliver their best performance as a form of service to the nation and the state.

“You have all been given the opportunity to work here, and that is already a great start. Please always nurture the motivation to become even better,” he said.

The Cabinet Secretary also encouraged employees to stay enthusiastic about developing their competencies and not to be disheartened by career changes. He noted that changes in assignments or positions are a normal part of organizational life and should be regarded as opportunities for continued growth.
