Lingayen, Pangasinan: Despite suspension of work in the provincial government due to the unfavorable weather conditions, the CSC Central Office Validators/Audit Team arrived on July 25 for the Program to Institutionalize Meritocracy and Excellence in Human Resource Management (PRIME-HRM): Conversational Onsite Monitoring of the Provincial Government of Pangasinan (PGP).
Human Resource Management and Development Officer Janette C. Asis welcomed them at the Capitol Resort Hotel.
“Ang direction na sinusundan namin is aligned with the Civil Service PRIME. Habang ginagawa namin lahat ng programang ito, totally achieved namin, kasi kayo po ang nagbigay ng criteria/direction ng pagtahak namin sa PRIME-HRM, which will help us to really achieve our objective to be a PRIME and to be a quality office in the Provincial Government of Pangasinan,” Asis said as she expressed gratitude to the team.
‘I am looking forward to any information or feedback na pwede naming maidagdag sa aming journey for the 3rd and 4th level ng aming accreditation sa PRIME-HRM.’
She further said that they have created a Provincial Learning and Development Institute that will conduct and offer trainings not just for employees of PGP.
CSC Audit Team Leader Dario R. Espe provided an orientation and overview of the activity.
Espe said that the activity was a conversation about the PRIME-HRM journey and the sharing of good practices of the PGP in their journey towards level 2 accreditation and, hopefully, level 3.
‘Ako’y nakikiusap to be very generous in sharing your journey, para meron po tayong mabitbit na packets of excellence,’ Espe said.
PGP was awarded a Certificate of Accreditation for the revalidation of its Level II Accredited Status under PRIME-HRM, pursuant to CSC Resolution No. 1301386, thereby granting authority to take final action on appointments.
Moreover, there was a Certificate of Recognition for obtaining Maturity Level II in Recruitment, Selection, and Placement; Performance Management System; Learning and Development; and Rewards and Recognition as a result of their determination and invaluable efforts to promote excellence in their agency through efficient and effective public service delivery.
The Civil Service Commission then conferred to the Provincial Government of Pangasinan the (PRIME-HRM) bronze award.
The provincial government, through HRMDO, was compliant with the PRIME-HRM maturity indicators, including the processes, programs, and projects performed and managed by the province for its employees, which were attuned to the CSC requirements.
Sharing their journey, Asis said that there were many challenges, but the most rewarding was how they had overcome those challenges. (Chona C. Bugayong, Orlan Llemos, and Joey Olimpo/PIMRO)
