The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) on Wednesday, June 26, 2024, has been officially recognized as one (1) of the top government agencies to receive a Bronze Award from the Civil Service Commission’s (CSC) Program to Institutionalize Meritocracy and Excellence in Human Resource Management (PRIME-HRM).
DPWH Undersecretary Marichu A. Palafox accepted the award on behalf of Secretary Manuel M. Bonoan at the 2024 PRIME-HRM Awarding Ceremony, held at Century Park Hotel, Malate, Manila, during the CSC 2024 Regional Human Resource Management Practitioners Congress.
In a statement, Secretary Bonoan welcomed the recognition and vowed that DPWH, through its Human Resource and Administrative Service (HRAS), will remain steadfast in championing human resource management practices that encourage, support, and uplift employees’ overall well-being, both at work and in life.
The Bronze Award signifies that all DPWH Central Office HR systems acquired the Maturity Level 2 or Process-Defined HRM, which means that a set of documented standard operating procedures were established and is characterized by goal-oriented decision making.
The DPWH Central Office, in a CSC PRIME-HRM re-assessment conducted on August 2023, has met the PRIME-HRM Level 2-Maturity Indicators for all the four (4) core HRM areas namely Recruitment, Selection, and Placement (RSP), Learning and Development (L&D), Performance Management (PM), and Rewards and Recognition (R&R).
Among those who attended the event were HRAS OIC-Director Vanessa G. Villanueva, CSC-DPWH Field Office Director Mira Michelle A. Brazil, and key staff from HRAS-Capacity and Development Division and Human Resource Management Division.
One of the priority thrusts of Marbil is the inclusion of PNP dependents in the community relations programs of the national law enforcement body. This forms part of the PNP’s broader efforts to cater to the welfare of the families of police officers in recognition of the vital role they play in the motivation and resilience of the country’s front line of defense.
