CSC recognizes Capitol’s HRMO

The Cebu provincial government was awarded as a Prime-HRM (Human Resource Management) Institution by being conferred with the Bronze Award, the highest recognition the Civil Service Commission can give to a government human resource office.

HRM Office Head Bonifer Nacorda said that it is the first time the Cebu Province received the said recognition.

Nationwide, there are only 34 awardees. Of the awardees, only three are provincial government units namely Aklan, Pangasinan, and Cebu.

Nacorda explained the award meant that the Capitol’s four system processes for human resource management are certified as one of the best in the country, such as that of the Bangko Sentral ang Pilipinas, for passing the CSC standards.

The four systems he is referring to are equipment, training and development, rewards, and performance appraisal.

For the first system, Nacorda explained that CSC found that the hiring of Capitol employees is fair and based on merit and not on favors. It also means that the institution has internal policies which are implemented and followed.

The second process meant that the employees undergo sufficient training to level up their knowledge and capacity to become more effective and productive part of the Capitol’s working force.

The third one is credited to the activation of a praise committee which evaluates the performances of each employee. This suggests that performing employees are given due recognition and incentives, if necessary, to acknowledge their contribution and efforts by exuding excellence in their jobs.

The fourth system is the performance management system which measures the performance of each employee by means of their outputs.

Nacorda said that representatives from the regional and national offices of the CSC came to validate the HRM system of the Capitol earlier this year.

“Gi-inspect ang tanan natong pamalakad. Meaning to say processdefined, sakto sa pagpangalagad, meaning dunay integrity ang atong upat ka proseso or system sa probinsya,” he said.

Cebu Governor Hilario Davide III expressed gratitude to the commission for recognizing the efforts of the Capitol.

He added that the awards would not have been possible if it were not for the efforts of both the office’s leaders and the employees themselves.

The award was handed over to Cebu Province in a ceremony held in Davao City last July 20. Nacorda said that no monetary reward was given.

“Walay cash but more than the monetary is just the affirmation of nga atong gipadagan og tarong ang HR to the level of the Bagko Sentral ang Pilipinas,” he told reporters.

He also clarified that there is no ranking for the award but it is a pass or fail recognition.—
