Government employees’ welfare was the focus of CSC Senior Commissioner Atty. Aileen Lourdes A. Lizada’s message during the conduct of the CSC Updates on HR Actions in Mambajao, Camiguin on February 20, 2024.

150 participants from various government agencies across Region X listened intently to Commissioner Lizada’s Inspirational Message and Updates on GSIS Matters. “Your presence here is reflective of your continued support to the CSC through keeping abreast with civil service rules, policies, programs and activities and gaining insights on human resource strengths that will help meet the ever-expanding demands of the stakeholders,” Commissioner Lizada remarked.

Highly-committed Subject Matter Specialists discussed topics on wellness, programs and recent issuances of the Civil Service Commission. Camiguin General Hospital’s Dr. Gretchen L. Cabalang, M.D., MSHHM had an engaging discourse on employee’s wellness. Atty. Theresa May P. Pimentel stressed the importance of “Mental Health in the Workplace.” In line with maintaining higher standards of excellence in Human Resource Management, Ms. Maria Cristina Gorgonia T. Saligumba presented the Program to Institutionalize Meritocracy and Excellence in Human Resource Management (PRIME-HRM) Level III requirements. Atty. Riceli G.

In the post-training evaluation, one participant commented: “I express my gratitude to the CSC for organizing this training session. As someone new to public service, I found inspiration in the words of Atty. Lizada, and I am pleased to see efforts directed towards ensuring the welfare of every individual. A contented employee is invaluable to any organization, and the initiatives to safeguard the wellbeing of government workers will undoubtedly yield fruitful results.”
