And how does it affect you as an employee of the DSWD?
As an applicant? A client? Or as the general population?
The Program to Institutionalize Meritocracy and Excellence in Human Resource Management (PRIME-HRM) is a mechanism of the Civil Service Commission (CSC) that aims to empower government agencies by developing their human resource management competencies, systems, and practices toward HR excellence.
Government agencies are classified according to four maturity levels:
HR assumes personnel function that is mostly separate from agency/business and talent need.
There is a set of defined and documented SOPs established, though it needs improvement. It is characterized by goal-oriented decision making. There is some automated system but little integration of data.
Uses process metrics for continuous improvement, an HR management toolkit, and data-driven decision making. HR function supports agency business needs.
HR processes are focused on continually improving process performance. It is also systematically managed by a combination of process optimization and continuous improvement, which helps to drive agency business decisions on people, data, and insight.
Last 08 August 2024, Secretary Rex Gatchalian signed a pledge of commitment to advance the agency's overall human resource management systems and processes. The Secretary emphasized the significance of achieving a higher maturity level for PRIME-HRM in the Department.
