Labason, Zamboanga del Norte – In compliance with the Civil Service Commission (CSC) Resolution No. 1200481 dated March 16, 2012, the municipal employees here have undergone a training on Strategic Performance Management System (SPMS) held last Feb. 18-19 at the New Legislative Building in this municipality.
Regular, coterminous and casual employees attended the seminar with Atty. Jerry N. Mayormita, provincial director, CSC-Zamboanga del Norte Field Office as resource speaker.
Mr. Cipriano Andalop, acting municipal human resource management officer, said the seminar sought to equip the participants with appropriate knowledge on SPMS especially in identifying the Major Final Outputs (MFO), Support to Operation (STO) and the General Administration and Support (GAS) in each office/department of the local government unit (LGU).
The CSC employs the SPMS as a performance measurement system to continually foster improvement of individual employee’s efficiency and organizational effectiveness in support of Executive Order No. 80 which directs the adoption of a performance-based incentives system for government employees.
It was also learned that CSC Resolution No. 1200481 has required all government agencies including the LGUs to have a CSC-approved SPMS by Jan. 2015.
With this, all performance-based human resource movements and/or developments and interventions such as promotion, scholarship, training, and all salary increment shall be based on a CSC-approved SPMS. The absence of an agency SPMS will be a ground for the forfeiture of incentives and similar grants.
“Adoption of SPMS by LGUs is necessary so as not to hamper the granting of the employees’ benefits and incentives,” Mayormita pointed out. (with report from Abundio D. Puro)
