CSC pushes integration of ICT
THE Civil Service Commission (CSC) directed the human resource (HR) sector in Region 12 or Southwestern Mindanao to integrate various information and communication technologies (ICT) into its operations.
CSC Commissioner Mary Ann Fernandez-Mendoza said the national government has mandated the adoption of ICT concepts and systems as the core of the continuing modernization of the government's operations.
"As new technologies are continually sprouting everywhere in the world, personnel managers should also be updated so they would be able to compete and be more efficient in serving the employees and the public," she said.
Mendoza earlier graced a gathering of human resource managers and personnel officers in the region.
Mendoza said the CSC has already fully integrated the ICT system into its own operations and it has so far done "wonders" for workers.
She said the computerization of various transactions of their office effectively streamlined their operations.
"We have the technologies now waiting for us to be explored and develop new programs and projects which can expedite transactions in the government," Mendoza said.
At least 179 HR or personnel workers coming from the region's four provinces and five cities as well the neighboring cities who attended the gathering initially agreed to integrate various ICT systems and technologies to advance human resource management activities.
Region 12 covers the provinces of South Cotabato, Sultan Kudarat, Cotabato, Sarangani and the cities of General Santos, Koronadal, Kidapawan, Tacurong and Cotabato. (Allen V. Estabillo)
