The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) has affirmed its commitment to promote and enhance the well-being of its personnel through effective human resource management practices.
The MMDA made the affirmation after receiving the Bronze Award from the Civil Service Commission’s (CSC) Program to Institutionalize Meritocracy and Excellence in Human Resource Management (PRIME-HRM), recognizing the MMDA as one of the top government agencies.
MMDA chairman Romando Artes expressed gratitude for the recognition and pledged that the agency’s administrative service will continue to champion human resource management practices that promote, support, and enhance personnel's general well-being.
"We thank the CSC for this prestigious recognition that strengthens the MMDA's commitment to efficiency in public service delivery and bringing our services closer to the people. We assure the CSC that the MMDA will remain committed to implementing PRIME-HRM to maintain meritocracy and excellence in public service. This milestone will serve as inspiration to every personnel towards better delivery of services to the public," said Artes.
MMDA general manager Undersecretary Procopio Lipana, MMDA administrative service director Melchor Enguerra, and administrative service personnel accepted the award during the CSC 2024 Regional Human Resource Management Practitioners Congress last month.
The bronze award conferred to the MMDA signifies that the MMDA met the PRIME-HRM Level 2-Maturity indicators on various human resource processes, practices, and competencies and managed and implemented its human resource management systems according to documented processes, thereby achieving process-defined HRM in the four core systems under PRIME-HRM.
