Civil Service Commission gets performance award

MANILA, Philippines - The Civil Service Commission was conferred the “Governance Trailblazer Seal” after it achieved the highest compliance rating under the Performance Governance System (PGS).

The award cites the agency for getting a final rating of 9.03, which means compliance to the second of the four phases process of recognizing excellence, by members of a multi-sector panel.

The award given to the CSC based on the presentation made by chairman Francisco Duque III on the agency’s progress in adopting the PGS, a process hinged on the balanced scorecard technology, a management tool for tracking performance developed at the Harvard University Business School.

The CSC bested other agencies vying for compliance including the Department of Public Works and Highways, the Philippine Army and Philippine National Police.

The award was given to the CSC last Oct. 14, at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Makati City.

“As we move up the PGS pathway, it is clear that the CSC is well on its way to achieving its vision of becoming Asia’s leading center of excellence for strategic human resource and organizational development,” Duque said.
