ARMM joins CSC Public Sector HR Symposium; exhibits good governance practices

DAVAO CITY (July 20, 2018) – The Office of the Regional Governor of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ORG-ARMM) is holding a three-day exhibit on ISO practices and Gender and Development (GAD) policy implementation from July 18 to 20 at this city's SMX Lanang.

The exhibit is ORG-ARMM’s participation in the 2018 Public Sector Human Resource (HR) Symposium organized by the Civil Service Commission (CSC) carrying the theme, ‘Achieving Breakthrough Results Through Strategic HR’.

The event is aimed at gathering ideas and experiences of the participants on how to create and implement good HR practices and to show how these work on their respective offices and organizations.

The ORG-ARMM's team proudly showcased different good governance practices the office has been applying through the 'Kai and Zen Adventures' brochures.

Norkhalila Mae Mambuay-Campong, ORG Chief of Staff, said the ARMM has gone far in terms of improving good governance, especially at the Office of the Regional Governor. “This is to share, through this exhibit, what worked for us and what ARMM may leave as benchmark under the inspiring leadership of Regional Governor Mujiv Hataman,” she added. 

ORG-ARMM prides itself of successfully implementing management and administrative reforms. Aside from meeting the national government’s Good Governance Conditions and attaining Performance-Based Bonus compliance for the first time in 25 years in 2014, it has also been ISO 9001-certified since 2016 through its Quality Management System and 5S Housekeeping Program. 

Also, the regional government has been strengthening the GAD Focal Point System as well as improving compliance to laws such as the Data Privacy Act of 2012. The ORG-ARMM is also strengthening better occupational health and safety standards.

A total of 2,000 participants – including executives, leaders, human resource personnel and organization development practitioners from various government and private organizations in the Philippines – attended the symposium. Representatives from the Association of South East Asian Nations were also present during the event. (JONG CADION/Bureau of Public Information)
