The CESB launched the program to honor third level civil servants distinguished for exemplary leadership and outstanding achievements in their work.
"The program aims to highlight accomplishments not only to reward good performance, but most importantly, to motivate others in government to give their best in public service," he board said.
Non-eligibles are then persuaded to aspire for third level eligibility and, in turn, help further professionalize the CESB and the entire bureaucracy as well.
Criteria in outstanding achievements include value-adding ideas, cost-saving procedures, innovative programs/projects and other meaningful contributions assessed for the noteworthiness, impact, reliability and effectiveness.
"Consistency and exemplary leadership shall be assessed based on demonstrated competencies leading change, developing and leading people, working for results, managing resources and technologies, building partnerships, and exemplifying integrity," the CESB said.
