LGU staff undergoes Competency-Based Local Governance training
By Isagani P. Palma (MIO)
Malungon, Sarangani Province (August 19, 2022) – The HR, KX Consult Team of UP MINDS, and Dalhum Inc. will be directly in charge of the months of training that government employees and stakeholders will undergo in order to create a composite technical working group (TWG) that will fully internalize the methodology and applications of the various LGU endeavors in this municipality.
Thein-house project, which LGU consultant Rene Paraba estimates will take 9 to 10 months to complete, if not longer, will increase the efficiency and competitiveness of both the public and private sectors for It is based on the idea of a single, cohesive organization with a single goal, divided into complementary parts, each with a clearly defined responsibility and corresponding performance metrics that is managed by a rigid, stratified structure that is governed by a pre-defined policy.
“The model of the study resembles the mixture of “Fayol-Weber-Taylor” bureaucratic paradigm designed to influence productivity and work behavior of the workforce with the predetermined competency standards. It did work as suitable scientific management model to private organizations. But in the advent of the era of human capital, knowledge management, freedom organizations, etc., thorough examination of the potential risks and sensitivities shall be vital before adopting reforms through this deterministic management model,” he said.
Even though it may be more expansive, take longer to develop, and be quite complex, Malungon will promote competency-based local governance through this project, which will stamp the profound articulation of local autonomy in the field of local governance.
Paraba’s associate, Ms. Jo Pabroa, said this push that already started on late last week, perhaps, will be another first innovative model for local ascendancy, that was unleashed still under the leadership of the last termed unopposed Mayor, Atty. Maria Theresa D Constantino.
“For this will serve as the roadmap of Malungon to continuously reflect on knowledge management transfer by unleashing the gems of local governance towards a more sustainable and well-developed autonomy,’ Pabroa stated. (With the MIO News Team)
