On October 15, 2021, Permanent Secretary of Labour Mr. Boonchob Suttamanaswong presided over the meeting of the heads of government agencies under the Ministry of Labour in Ubon Ratchathani Province at the Ubon Ratchathani City Hall.

Mr. Boonchob provided official guidelines and said that the Ministry of Labour’s strengths were the five agencies in the region. In addition, the Ministry of Labour has an in-depth database, which is considered a fairly good database, especially the social security database. He said that there should be a valid database link between agencies under its jurisdiction to store information on labour for mutual benefit in the future.
Mr. Boonchob also entrusted all personnel to be responsible for servicing the people by allowing agencies under the Ministry of Labour to be a true pillar for the people. The Office of the Permanent Secretary of Labour is an intermediary in coordinating the Ministry of Labour’s missions at the local level. The Department of Employment focuses on recruitment, finding jobs for people, and finding vacancies to match with job seekers. The Department of Skill Development focuses on skill development using IT systems, adjusting curriculums to meet the target group’s needs in the changing era. The Department of Labour Protection and Welfare ensures law enforcement by using good labour relations systems to protect and care for workers following the law. The Social Security Office takes care of measures to heal insured persons, employers, and employees from the impact of COVID-19.
“I would like to emphasize that all departments under the Ministry of Labour in the area work together as a team. Central executives are ready to support solving every problem and work in compliance and with discipline. Everyone must take into account the interests of the people, no matter what position the civil servant is in, what duty or position, they must fulfill their duties to the best of their ability because everyone is equally important,” concluded Mr. Boonchob.
