PRIME-HRM serves as a strategic mechanism for strengthening HR management competencies, systems, and practices across government agencies toward achieving HR excellence. The program promotes active participation among HRM officers, agency officials, and rank-and-file employees, fostering a culture of shared responsibility and continuous improvement in public sector human resource management.
Under the PRIME-HRM framework, the CSC assesses agencies across four core HR systems: Recruitment, Selection, and Placement; Performance Management; Learning and Development; and Rewards and Recognition. Based on the results, agencies are classified according to corresponding maturity levels that recognize their progress toward institutionalized HR excellence and good governance.
Moving forward, Executive Director Bernadette De Los Santos expressed optimism on the agency鈥檚 pursuit of certification for the remaining two PRIME-HRM core systems. She encouraged Management to sustain ongoing reform initiatives and complete the requirements for the Learning and Development and Rewards and Recognition systems toward achieving full PRIME-HRM Level II maturity. | Jane Bri帽a
