As a call to action in improving the implementation of the Strategic Performance Management System (SPMS) in DPWH and in order to heighten the knowledge and deepen the understanding regarding SPMS, three personnel from the Northern Samar Second District Engineering Office (NSSDEO) attended a comprehensive and interactive training on SPMS held from August 12-14, 2024, at the Sophia’s Way Event Center in Sagkahan, Tacloban City.
Joemar M. Patilan, Administrative Officer III; Edmund P. Somoray, Computer Maintenance Technologist II, and Rhea B. Maghanoy, Administrative Assistant II represented NSSDEO in this fundamental training. The training aimed to boost the participants’ understanding and implementation of the Department of Public Works and Highways Strategic Performance Management System (DPWH SPMS).
The resource speakers for the said 3-day training were led by DPWH subject-matter experts from the Human Resource and Administrative Service. Among them were Ms. Krisandra P. Dadulla, Supervising Administrative Officer; Engr. Johan Rose A. Santos, Engineer III; Ms. Darlene Angelu V. Pena, Administrative Officer V; and Ms. Ruth A. Arroyo, Administrative Officer IV. Their expertise provided invaluable insights into the SPMS fundamentals, including its purpose, objectives, scope, and policy guidelines stated in the SPMS Handbook, User’s Manual, and Department Order No. 32 s. 2024.
Participants were thoroughly trained through a variety of learning methods such as lecture, group discussion, facilitation exercise/activity, and other interactive learning activities, to ensure comprehension, retention, and application of knowledge. This is to address the recurring findings from the recent Internal Quality Audit in the DPWH Central Office and its Implementing Offices pertaining to SPMS which includes inconsistencies of Performance Commitment and Review Ratings of employees and offices and non-usage of monitoring and evaluation tools.
The attendance of this training marks a significant step in the NSSDEO’s ongoing commitment to improving organizational efficiency and effectiveness. The knowledge and skills gained are expected to drive better performance outcomes and contribute to the overall goals of the DPWH-NSSDEO’s strategic performance management system.(PR)
