As part of the celebration of the 124th Philippine Civil Service Anniversary (PCSA), the Civil Service Commission (CSC) is set to conduct a nationwide job fair from 2 to 6 September 2024.

The 2024 Government Job Fair is an onsite event aimed to provide individuals planning to pursue a career in the public sector with an avenue to interact with recruiters, exchange information on job vacancies, and file applications and submit requirements to their selected government agencies.

CSC Chairperson Karlo Nograles expressed enthusiasm about the upcoming career fair, saying “The PCSA is a celebration not only of the CSC but also of all the government agencies and the 1.9 million civil servants across the nation. Through the 2024 Government Job Fair, we are opening doors to a new batch of dedicated individuals who are eager to serve the public, ensuring that we continue to attract passionate talent committed to making a positive impact in our communities and upholding the values of good governance.”

A total of 329,318 examinees took the Career Service Examination – Pen and Paper Test (CSE-PPT) on Sunday, 11 August 2024, in 16 regions nationwide.

Civil Service Commission (CSC) Chairperson Karlo Nograles said that the turnout represents 91.82 percent of the total number of registered applicants in both Professional and Subprofessional levels across 95 testing centers.

During his visit to check the conduct of the exam in Davao City, Chairperson Nograles expressed gratitude to the examinees and volunteers for the success of the exam.

"This year's second and final CSE was conducted successfully, and this achievement is primarily attributable to the cooperation of our examinees. As always, the smooth execution of the exam would not have been possible without the dedicated efforts of our volunteer teachers and government employees, whose constant support for the CSC is invaluable,” he added.

The Civil Service Commission (CSC) has introduced a hybrid work arrangement for its Central and Regional Offices across the country, consisting of four days onsite and one day remote each week, effective 1 August 2024.

CSC Chairperson Karlo Nograles announced that, in accordance with CSC Resolution No. 2400579 which outlines the Internal Guidelines on the Adoption of Flexible Work Arrangements (FWA) issued on 10 July 2024, all CSC officials and employees are encouraged to observe Friday as the uniform remote day in the Central and Regional Offices while ensuring continuous delivery of external frontline services from Monday to Friday, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

"As the central human resource (HR) agency of the government, the CSC is committed to leading the way in adopting sustainable HR management practices that contribute to climate change mitigation measures. At the same time, we shall set an example by ensuring that the service provided to our stakeholders and the general public remains uninterrupted, even amidst the hybrid work arrangement," said Chairperson Nograles.

From January to June 2024, the Contact Center ng Bayan (CCB) facilitated 103,782 customer feedback and successfully resolved 103,681, representing a 99.90 percent resolution rate in collaboration with its partner government agencies.

The feedback received by the CCB consisted primarily of queries, accounting for 98.20 percent of total submissions. Additional categories included requests for assistance at 1.11 percent, complaints at 0.58 percent, commendations at 0.09 percent, and suggestions at 0.02 percent.

Civil Service Commission Chairperson Karlo Nograles noted that this high resolution rate signifies the improved public assistance provided by government agencies. This development aligns with the objectives of Republic Act No. 11032, or the Ease of Doing Business and Efficient Government Service Delivery Act of 2018.

The Civil Service Commission (CSC) has announced the 11 semi-finalists for the Outstanding Public Officials and Employees (Dangal ng Bayan Award) of the 2024 Search for Outstanding Government Workers.

In line with this, the CSC is encouraging the public to participate in the evaluation process by providing feedback on the nominees, whether positive or negative, until 16 August 2024.

“While we have concluded the call for feedback for the Presidential Lingkod Bayan and CSC Pagasa awards of the 2024 Search for Outstanding Government Workers, we still need your participation in ensuring that we choose the best Dangal ng Bayan candidates. These nominees have consistently displayed exemplary and ethical behavior in the face of risk or temptation inherent in their work and will stand as exemplary role models for all civil servants.” said CSC Chairperson Karlo Nograles.
