CEO Says Jamaica Post Remains Steadfast In Drive To Revolutionise Services

Postmaster General and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Post and Telecommunications Department (Jamaica Post), Lincoln Allen, says the entity remains steadfast in its drive to revolutionise the country’s postal service landscape.

“It is our intention to automate, and make more efficient and accessible, our traditional services such as Registered mail, parcel service, pension and PATH service,” Mr. Allen said, at the recently concluded Electronic Advance Data and Regional Transport workshops, held at the ROK Hotel in Kingston.

Jamaica Post manages the country’s network of nearly 237 post offices and 165 postal agencies.

Central to its modernisation efforts is the expansion of Internet connectivity across its postal network, laying the foundation for a robust digital platform.

This platform will facilitate the delivery of commercial services, such as Zipmail, FastTrack, Klick’N’Ship, and Bill Payment solutions to empower customers with convenient and efficient options for their logistical requirements.

Mr. Allen also noted that Jamaica Post is poised to become a one-stop shop for all traditional and commercial services, and soon, an outlet for several Government services.

“I can proudly say that, in many instances, we are well on that path, and seeing the benefits already,” he said.

As part of its modernisation drive, Jamaica Post has introduced Premium Service Centres at key locations, including the Central Sorting Office and Montego Bay Number 1 Post Office, with plans for additional centres in the near future.

Renovation projects are also under way at various post offices islandwide, underscoring the organisation’s commitment to restoring the legacy of the post office and enhancing the customer experience.

“We continue to work strategically in building our human capital, which is our number-one resource. Through these efforts, our service delivery, bolstered by benefits derived from training programmes such as the collaboration with the UPU International Bureau, will strengthen our operational processes, improve organisational efficiency as well as the quality of service to the public,” he said.

Jamaica Post is a Department of Government under the Office of the Prime Minister (OPM).
