The DILG Region XII, through its Human Resource and Management Office, conducted the CY 2021 New Employees General Orientation on January 28, 2021 via Zoom platform. Fifty (50) participants, composed of newly-promoted and newly-hired plantilla personnel and newly-hired and renewed Contract of Service (COS) personnel of the Region, immersed in a one-day full-packed presentation and discussion on various topics aimed to provide them a head start as they begin to actively take part in the implementation of the various programs, projects, and activities of the Department.
The activity was structured to include three (3) modules: Module 1 – Understanding Who We Are, Module 2 – Appreciating What We Do, and Module 3 – Ways Forward: The Me-To-We Concept. The first module tackled the DILG’s history, strategic doctrine, organization and structure, personnel and other administrative policies, and Republic Act 6713. Meanwhile in the second module, the participants learned about the various programs and activities of the Department and briefers on ISO 9001:2015 and Gender Sensitivity in the workplace. In the third module, the participants had a chance on sharing their learning experiences and of how they can further foster ownership, accountability, and collaboration in the workplace.
The Resource Persons include LGOO II/HRMO Designate Ryan J. Alair, Legal Officer/Chief of Staff Atty. Michelle Ann P. Viejo, AO III Maria Glema S. Talua-Bascos, LGOO IV Jon Leo J. Licayan, LGOO V Relmie T. Tamson, LGOO II Raymart S. Miranda, SAO Engr. Mary Ann R. Traspe, LGOO V Jessilou L. Frugalidad, and LGOO VI/PDMU Chief Engr. Herminia S. Ontoy.
In her inspirational message, RD Josephine Cabrido-Leysa, CESO III challenged the participants to continue living up to the “matino, mahusay, at maaasahan” brand of DILG public servanthood despite the challenges posed by the prevailing public health crisis. She also wised to “not allow this pandemic to simply limit the things that we can do and those that we can achieve'' and to “take these as opportunities to build resilience and ingenuity in achieving sustained success.”
This activity is the onset of numerous other capacity development interventions prepared by the Regional Management for CY 2021 in its bid to fulfill its commitment in further strengthening its internal organizational capacity.
