The Civil Service Commission (CSC) called on government agencies to step up their human resource (HR) management systems and competencies to achieve the nation’s collective vision.
At the 2019 Public Sector HR Symposium Media Briefing held 24 July 2019 at the Philippine International Convention Center, Pasay City, CSC Chairperson Alicia dela Rosa-Bala underscored the critical role of the civil service in attaining AmBisyon Natin 2040, which represents the collective long-term vision and aspirations of the Filipino people.
“Human resource is the catalyst to achieve the Filipino’s collective vision of a matatag, maginhawa, at panatag na buhay. The government cannot accomplish its desired outcomes when the civil servants are not fully capable, are disengaged, and lack a service-oriented attitude,” Chairperson Bala said.
