CSC, LGU Legazpi City pursue PRIME-HRM to level up HRM competence

LEGAZPI CITY, July 29 (PIA) -- The Civil Service Commission (CSC) Albay provincial office has briefed Tuesday officials and employees of the city government here on the Prime to Institutionalize Mentocracy and Excellence in Human Resource Management (PRIME- HRM) that aims to enhance the HRM competence of work force of government agencies.

CSC Albay provincial director Arpon Ultra Lucero said the briefing on the PRIME HRM thrust of the CSC intends to elevate the maturity level of the HRM Office of the city government to the next higher level.

Lucero said that based on the assessment by the CSC of the regular employees of the City Government of Legazpi, the latter learned that their performance was classified in the transactional level, which is the basic step under the criterion of the commission.

"With this orientation, the gap between the transactional level and the process define will be addressed," he added.

Process define, according to Lucero, is the system of any agency or LGU with complete documentation to be used for their daily transactions.

"This system will also inform the employees who want to apply for higher position. They will undergo the recruitment, selection and placement procedure, which is documented," he pointed out.

The PRIME- HRM is a program comprised of "three point shot" components, that is, Assess, Assist and Award.

Lucero explained the "Assess" component deals on the evaluation of the agency’s HR systems through a Comprehensive HRM Assistance, Review and Monitoring (CHARM).

"This is a detailed appraisal of human resource management systems and standards, management of HR records, and similar systems and programs. Since Human Resource Management Officers play a big role in the program, their competencies will also be assessed to determine developmental opportunities," he explained.

The "Assist" aims at areas for improvement through the Continuing Assistance and Review for Excellent Human Resource Management or CARE-HRM. CARE-HRM provides customized technical assistance and developmental interventions according to the determined needs of the agency.

While the "Award"  focuses on measures carried out following the proper assessment and assistance done for an agency, PRIME-HRM may gear it up for recognition and/or privileges.  Accredited and Deregulated agencies are entitle to certain privileges that would further assist and develop their HR practices, or given awards and special citations. They may also vie for the Center of Excellence in HRM or the Seal of Excellence in HR Award

Lucero furthered that under PRIME-HRM, an agency is classified under the following categories:

Regulated (or Level I) – the agency has not fully complied with the requirements for Accredited Status. It shall be subjected to regular monitoring/assistance by the Commission.

Accredited (or Level II) – the agency meets the basic requirements after having been subjected to the assessment program and/or determined to have complied with the recommendations of the CSCRO/FO. Accredited agencies are granted by the Commission authority to take final action on appointments.

Deregulated (or Level III) – the accredited agency has distinguished itself as Excellent in all or some areas of human resource management and has been given authority to take final action on appointments as well as the establishment and implementation of its own HR mechanisms without the need for prior approval from the Commission.

Mayor Noel E. Rosal meanwhile said the activity was part of enhancing the knowledge of the city’s regular employees in order for them to know their duties and responsibilities as part of the workforce of the city administration.

Rosal urged the employees to always do their jobs in a judicious way of working to maintain transparency in their work in the city administration as, he said, “all of us here -- including the department heads, elective officials and the casual employees -- are all accountable to our own respective jobs.  (MAL-PIA5/Albay)
