the organization has offered to employees in the past?
a. If so, could you provide more details about a specific training program you're
familiar with, such as the name of the program and the approximate date when it was
conducted?

At saka yung sa youth coordinator noon na si The most recent training we had, the
Mr. Jun Toledo pa. So yun, kami, sila Participatory Barangay Development

naka inassign din namin so ginawa namin spearheaded by the DSWD, DILG, and the
yun yata for about last two quarters ng 2021 Local Government Academy (LGA). Due
until first two quarters of 2022. Yun yung mga to this, we are obliged to lead and train our

participatory barangay development barangay and they attended a 3-day
planning workshops o we call it Participatory barangay level participatory or BPD,
BDP. Yun ay ayun dun sa, ito ay ayon sa which is the most recent.
proyekto na spearheaded by DSWD, DILG or
DSWD Department of Social Welfare and
Development, DILG Department of the
Interior and Local Government at saka ng
LGA yung Local Government Academy and
the Municipal Government. So, kami naman
yung mandated to lead kasi we were trained
at the regional level so as the trainer as
regional trainees, kami yung trainer naman
sa municipal levels so, we trained yung
representatives ng barangay not all the
kagawads kundi yung kaya lang gastusan ng
DSWD Program. So, we were able to train all
the punong barangays, all barangay
secretaries, kagawad, one kagawad and
CSOs Representatives para maging
co-trainer namin sa barangay level naman.
And then, sa barangay level naman, kami
yung naglead ng training together with the,
meron tayong program ng DSWD na
tinatawag na Kalahi Cidss. So, yung mga
kalahi Cidss staff ng munisipyo plus planning
and development office staff, headed by yours
truly. So, kami yung nag train together with
the trained barangay officials, yung apat.
Kapitan, secretary, isang kagawad at isang
Civil Society Organization Representatives.

FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY


So. That was very recent. Three days na
nangyari sa bawat barangay. Ang natrain
namin sa bawat barangay ay yung tinatawag
natin na planning team, barangay planning
team or the BPT. So yung barangay planning
team ay binubuo naman ng representatives ng
lahat ng sector sa barangay. Representatives
lang. So they composed about 25 to 35
persons in the barangay who attended the
3-day, actually for 3-day barangay level
participatory BDP or barangay development
planning. Yan ang most recent.

5. What specific training and development do you believe would be beneficial for your
department as a whole?

Yung pinagpapatuloy namin na continuous We have what we call the ENT class or the
strengthening in terms of capacity Environmental Planning Class. This is a
development ng mga Planning and continuous process of strengthening the
Development Office Staffs together with other department in terms of capacity
Technical Officers ng ibang Municipal development. The staff of the Planning and
Departments, meron kaming tinatawag na Development Office together with other
EMP Class. Yun ay Environmental Planning technical officers of other municipal
Class. Every year, ginagawa namin yon. It's departments undergo this yearly. This is
either before the year end or at the start of designed to train the capability of all the
the year. Applicable siya sa mga staff ko, sa employees regarding environmental
lahat ng mga empleyado sa Planning and planning.
Development Office kasi dito tinatalakay,
kina- capacitate yung mga bawat employees
all about environmental planning.

6. In your opinion, what do you think are the knowledge gaps that exist within your
organization?

FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY


a. What types of training do you believe would be effective in addressing and
closing these knowledge gaps?

Follow- up Questions
● So sir, follow up regarding that. Since facilitation and technology-based were
mentioned, can you provide a rough estimate of the number of employees that need
these kinds of training?
● Allow me to clarify, sir. There was no past training regarding facilitation and
technology-based, correct?
● Sir, when was the most recent facilitation training that occurred?
● What are the organization's objectives or goals for the current year?

Siguro sa more of facilitation skills sa What we need to strengthen is more of the


facilitation, dapat ma- strengthen pa yon and facilitation skills and technology-based
then yung mga technology-based planning planning system. Say for example, we need
systems. Let's say for example, kailangan mas more resources to use in mapping – the use
maraming itong ginagamit natin sa mapping. of GPS. The problem is that the training
Dapat may GPS na pagdating sa mapping programs for local employees are not as

tool na ginagawa so dapat ay GPS (related) instance, unlike in private companies, a

mga manual . So dapat ma-capacitate din custom-made or standard training program.
yung mga staff ko ng planning office That is an existing gap between the
pagdating sa ganon. So yung mga national and local government. Well, I will

sabihing may video, may recorded in other LGUs. Just like for a Human
voice…pero kailangan pa rin yung physical, Resource Management Office (HRMO), it

knowledge and skills about that ay kailangan HRMO is only a section of the Municipal

ngayon, katulad sa Gloria ay isang section ● There was a past training. That’s
lang ng Municipal Mayor's Office. Pero sa why I said 60% needs the

siguro malaki. Kasi yung Department and conduct of necessary technical
of Health, MSWD, Agriculture, yung and admin meetings with all
MENRO, PESO, sa office ko, atsaka concerned stakeholders.
yung sa MDRRMO so I would say
mga 60% ay mangangailangan ng
ganong intervention in terms of
facilitation. Pagdating sa

FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY


technology-based naman ay malaki, I
would say mga 70-80 percent kasi
may mga kakulangan pa talaga kami
sa mga technology. Kasi very costly
kasi ang technology atsaka yung in
terms og initial capitalization atsaka
yung maintenance mahirap din.
Malaking gastos. I mean, malaking
pondo ang kinakailangan.
● Meron naman, kaya nga I would say
60 % lang ngayon then yung mga 40
% naman ay mga trained na so mga
seasoned staff na yon na naka attend,
nahasa na sa facilitation. But mga
40% nga lang sila, so kailangan pa
nung other 60% na ma- train. I am
only focusing on the municipal
employees na nagf-field work. Yung
may community work. Kasi don
kinakailangan ang facilitation.
● Naku, parang matagal na. Ang isang
intervention diyan na ginagawa ng
civil service lalo na sa mga heads —
section heads and department heads,
yung supervisory development course,
doon nahahasa yung facilitation ng
mga supervisors, I would say matagal
na. Nung siguro, last 10 years ago pa.
Oo. Lalo na nag pandemic, so lalong
naapektuhan yung pagpapatuloy ng
mga training na ganito.
● Yung mga goals for the year ay
matapos namin yung comprehensive

FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY


development plan so natapos naman
namin yung comprehensive
development plan pero that was last
year until first half of this year. So ang
strategies ay yun lang constant
coordination and conduct of
necessary technical and admin
meetings with all the concerned
stakeholders meaning department,
heads, rank and file employees and
even the CSO representatives yung
mga non governmental organizations
or yung NGOs we called it CSO
naiinvolve sila so kaya natapos namin
so yung partnership talaga dapat sa
kanila ay dapat magawa kaya natapos
namin yung comprehensive
development plan and finally
naisubmit yung sa sangguniang
panlalawigan ang isa pa ay yung
updating ng gloria's comprehensive
land use plan although it is still
under way, so iniuupdate namin siya
ngayon may mga technical sessions
kaming ginagawa para mangyari
yung at ano pa sa mga goals yung
regular monitoring so lahat ng mga
projects ngayon na ineemplement I
would say na 99.99% nabibisita
namin yun, namomonitor at
naiivaluate prior to payment sa mga
contractor and supplier.

Job Performance

7. In your line of work, which areas, such as planning, budgeting, or conflict resolution, do
you personally believe you need to improve?

Siguro dun sa evaluation. Sa evaluation skills Maybe in terms of evaluation skills.


kasi while I do have the basic and standard Though I do have the basics and standard
knowledge and skills on program or project knowledge and skills on project evaluation
evaluation pero wala pa akong permanent but I don’t have a permanent staff assigned
staff pagdating sa na-evaluation officer. So I for this. So I would say, this is one of the

Documentation na hindi lang manual
documentation kundi yung again yung may
paggamit din ng modern technology na hindi
lang dapat yung mga project documents
namin ay yung physical papers na
nape-preserve namin kundi dapat ito rin na
magkakaroon na rin kami dapat ng electronic
copy nito, nasasave na rin naman, dapat
yung nakakapag video na rin kami. Yung
ganun, nakakapag produce na rin dapat ng
clips or videos ng pagdating sa program or
project na ini-implement ng LGUs. So, yun

FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY


kulang pa ako dun dahil medyo dapat yung
younger generations siguro. I know how to do
it but yung what to do pero yung how to do it,
ayun ang kulang ko.

8. How would you rank your capabilities and performance in the following areas from
highest to lowest: innovative/creativeskills, problem-solving skills, and communication
skills.

Communication siguro ang number one. Number one will be communication,


Number two ay yung innovativeness and second is innovation or creativity since I
creativity kasi ako ay I don't always go with don’t always go with the traditional. Then
the traditional. Sometimes I go to the last is problem solving.
opposite direction so medyo innovative ako ● Probably time management in order
and creative and then kahit hindi sila to cater the lapses in problem

pag-aralan namin para magawa population databases yet. That’s
namin kung ganun. Kaya minsan ay why I ranked this as second.
hindi agad nasosolve yung problema

FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY


marahil dahil ang dami naming
ginagawa namin. Sa dami ng mga
ginagawa minsan, yung pagpaplano
minsan sa sariling opisina
nakakalimutan kasi ang aming
ginagawa ay yung pakikipag
coordinate sa planning at the
municipal level so that would be one
na pwedeng magawa ay ma-manage
yung time to get all the things, varied
things, anytime, anywhere, na
kakailanganin ng sino man.
● Siguro pagdating sa creativity, ayun
nga pagdating sa… ako kasi gusto ko
may kaugnayan uli sa evaluation.
Gusto ko kasi maging maayos ang
documentation ng lahat ng ginagawa
namin sa opisina. So, kailangan may
mas creative pa na pamamaraan na
gawin na non traditional nai-try.
Again using modern technology para
maging maayos yung documentation

reporting system, maayos yung
monitoring ng mga outputs. Yung
isang pindot mo lang ay alam mo na
ang status sa ngayon. Hindi pa kami
ganun. Even yung pag establish ng
mga databases ay population
database pa lang pero sa project
database kulang pa, hindi pa maayos
yung ganun. Yun lang siguro ang

FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY


dahil kaya number two lang siya sa
akin.

9. If you had the opportunity to choose a training program to attend, which specific area
would you select, and what's the reason behind your choice?

Siguro ang gusto ko ma-attendan yung… Within my almost 25 years in service,


considering na mahigit 25 years na ako sa considering I have served different mayors
serbisyo, considering na marami na akong and implemented different programs and
maging boss na mayor na iba't iba, at iba't projects in the municipality of Gloria, I
ibang mga programa at proyekto na ang would say impact assessment. I want this

alleviation ng mga tao, yung sa improvement
ng governance ng mga namumuno mula sa
barangay hanggang sa municipal level.
Gusto kong makita yun so gusto kong
madaluhan yung sa impact assessment.

10. How do you contribute to maintaining a positive work culture and fostering teamwork
within your department or organization?

11. Can you share a specific instance where you identified an issue or opportunity for
improvement in your job and took proactive steps to address it?

Yung sa evaluation ng proposals. Since ang About the evaluation proposals, since one
isang trabaho namin is to verify, to validate of our jobs is to verify and to validate the

FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY


the project documents na ginagawa ng lahat project documents, every document came
ng department na nagsasagawa, na through our office. With this, we find it
nag-iimplement ng projects sa munisipyo. So, hard to track whether what they’re
dumadaan sa aming opisina lahat ng project implementing are included in the approved
documents. Maaaring ang tawag namin dun plan or the Annual Investment Program.
ay project design, project proposal, activity Back then, this was submitted in the
design, program of works, or feasibility study, municipality, then what we only do is to
project study, business plan. Yun yung mga review the technical content. However,
uri ng project documents na pumupunta sa today, apart from the technical content,
amin at kami ang nagrereview nun. So, kami there is a validation for this and the
ay nahihirapan na i-track whether what they significance of the plan is also checked. In
are implementing are those programs, addition, this is done through a verification
projects, and activities that are included in checklist which has not been done before.
the approved plan. Yun bang iniimplement ng Relatively, we implemented a project
mga department ay yan yung nasa approve called Program Project Activation (PPA)
plan or yung AI yung Annual Investment Verification Checklist.
Program. Yan yung taon-taon na ginagawa
na dapat nandon ang bawat iniimplement na
activity, project, program ng iba’t ibang
department. So, ang sabi namin paano natin
ito matatrack down? So, gumawa kami, dati
rati pinapasa lang yun sa munisipyo,
nagrereview lang kami ng technical content
pero ngayon maliban sa technical content,
sabi namin, kailangan mavalidate namin
kung nasa plano siya dahil ang katuturan ng
plano ay kung naiimplement siya. So, para
malaman namin yun, ang problema namin,
nagkaroon kami ng verification checklist.
Dati rati wala yon. So, ang ginawa namin,
meron kaming project, ang tawag namin dun
ay PPA, Program Project Activity Verification
Checklist. So, dumadaan yun sa bawta staff

FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY


ko at una una nila ay yung technical review
ng content ng proposal or document.
Pagkatapos, yung verification nito kung
nandon siya sa approved na program or AIP
for the year. ‘Pag wala siya dun, babalik
namin yun sa department. So, naunawaan na
nila yung, na-strengthen namin na dapat
talaga ang iniimplement lang kung ano yung
naka plano. Hindi yung kung ano yung
maisip mo within the year, dapat yung
approved plan na. So, yun, So, ginawa namin,
yun yung ginawa namin, wala kaming
tracking, monitoring nun, ginawa namin yung
checklist and then ang naging epekto,
nalaman na namin kung ano yung mga hindi
naiimplement at naiimplement. That’s one
issue na na-encounter namin.

Job Satisfaction

12. What factors within the organization have positively impacted your work-life balance
and overall job satisfaction?
a. If a training program were available to enhance the specific factor that motivates
you in your job, do you believe it would significantly impact your job satisfaction, or do
you think it would have minimal influence?

Follow-up Questions
● Sir, since you have mentioned the award granted to you by the municipality, do you
think that the granting of awards to the employees contributes in improving their
job quality?
● Aside from awards, what do you think could be other possible factors that might
motivate employees to do better in their job? Examples for this are additional leave,
benefits, and salary increase.

● What improvements or changes in your job or work environment do you believe
would enhance your job satisfaction?

Nako, mabigat na tanong yan. Overall sa job Overall, I am happy with my job but I

why they keep on trying kaya nga lang ● It should start with the continuous

dun para mas maging, dahil annual Aside from this is the continuous
lang siya ginagawa taon taon lang granting of awards for those who
maari ang iniisip namin ay hindi lang were internally promoted and
siya dapat annual ginagawa para strengthening the employee
maistrengthen din yung, maincalcate association. Meaning to say, the
sa puso at isip ng mga empleyado na service within the employee
dapat magpursige emaintain yung association should be
quality ng trabaho at saka yung well-organized.
motivation sa trabaho laging mataas ● The complete manpower and
gawing siyang sabi namin dapat permanency of admin staff are what
meron tayong katulad ng ginagawa sa contributes to the overall
private organization merong enhancement of the office. Also,
employee of the month, diba yung may the physical setup of the workplace
mga ganun employee for the quarter – having adequate and complete
so hindi na natin problema yung basic equipment, provision of
panlaban at the end of the year kung broken or for replacement materials
sino yung empleyado na naka more & equipment, e.g. laptop, desktop,
than 6 months na naging employee of since these affect the employee’s
the month siya ay tiyak iyon na ang performance as well.
kanilang panlaban, hindi katulad
ngayon na nag aassess lang kame at
the end of the year kapag award
period na. Kaya I would say na

FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY


nakakatulong yung award na para
magpursige din yung iba.
● Yung ipagpatuloy ang promotion from
within muna. Kapag may mga bagong
position kase lalo na nung si major
bitoy na ang aming major ang policy
niya kapag may ipropromote may
mataas na position or may bagong
position na funded newly funded or
created naman na kase lahat ng
position so kame ay nag popondo na
lang taon taon ng mga bagong
position sa mga new position that are
newly funded ay ibibigay muna ito sa
qualified na nasa loob na ng LGU so
nakakamotivate yun sa mga
empleyado na magpursige sila dahil
sila ang priority bago yung mga taga
labas that's one ipagpapatuloy parin
dapat yung sa award tapos dun sa
internal promotion tapos yung
pagpapalakas parin ng kanilang
employees association meron kaseng
Municipal Association of fraud and
file of employees of gloria so dapat
maging aktibo parin yung mga
opisyales nun at maging, matulungan
ang LGU sa mga programa nila yung
simple lang na canteen namin so its
being ran and operated by the
Association, Employee Association
dapat maayos yung serbisyo doon at
tinutulungan ng LGU yun dahil ang

FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY


makikinabang doon ay empleyado.
Ayun ang mga sample ng pwede pang
gawin.
● Yung complete manpower yung sabi
ko kanina sa bawat section namin sa
department yung evaluation ang wala
pa ako okay. At saka admin staff na
permanent bagaman meron pero job
order so evaluation at saka evaluation
officer at saka admin staff yun ang
makakapagcontribute sa overall ng
opisina and also yung physical
workplace and physical setup ng
opisina kailangan kumpleto sa mga
basic equipment ng empleyado yung
kapag nasisira ang kanilang mga
desktop, laptop so dapat ay aware ako
na maiprovide agad yun maparepair,
mareplace kung kinakailangan kase
apektado ang performance nila so
yun.

Professional Growth

13. Do you feel that your current job provides ample opportunities for you to develop and
fully utilize your skills, including those acquired through training programs you've
attended?

Follow-up Question
● To whom is the training program designed for? Is it distributed across the company,
or is it specific to a department, or an individual employee?

Oh yes, yes, very much yes because ang Yes, very much. Since the work in LGU is
trabaho sa LGU ay very dynamic, so you very dynamic, you have all the opportunity

FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY


have all the opportunity to apply whatever to apply whatever you learned and

LGU. Maraming opportunity sa LGU sa programs designed and
government ay nasa sa, nagtatrabaho na sa implemented by the national
gobyerno. Konsensya muna ang kalaban sa government in which we are
gobyerno kapag hindi mo inapply yung obligated to attend. However, this is
trabaho mo kapag nagpabaya ka, kase once not for all employees but for a
na nakikita mo yung mga constituents na may specific department that is the
pagkukulang, pero may alam ka bakit hindi counterpart within the national
mo ginagawa so yun. Kaya napaka dynamic government. For example, if the
ng application ng ano mang natututunan natin DOH called for a training, the
sa LGU. municipal health office will be the
one to attend this training. On the
other hand, there are external
programs as well wherein it is
purchased and availed.

3. How long have you been with the company, and can you briefly describe your journey
here, including any changes in roles or responsibilities?

I’ve been working in SAP Concur for 1 year and 9 months now, It’s really difficult as first
knowing that I don’t have any job experiences when it comes to expense, invoice, cause
there were technical words, that are now familiar to me, but as time goes by, with the help
of colleagues, manager and proper trainings of course, I’ve gain enough knowledge and
skills to do my daily job and learn new modules as well.

Organizational

4. Could you please share any information about training and development programs that
the organization has offered to employees in the past?
a. If so, could you provide more details about a specific training program you're
familiar with, such as the name of the program and the approximate date when it was
conducted?

FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY


The first training I had with Concur is Professional Expense. This training covers the
implementation and configuration of the expense side in Concur, which is part of my daily
task. I started this training after a month of being employed.

5. What specific training and development do you believe would be beneficial for your
department as a whole?

Follow-up Questions
● Could you describe the services, programs, or products that your
organization/company offers?

Well, I think it’s the customer service training, because I believe it would be very beneficial
to every company who offers their services to different organizations. Cause it shows how
you value the customers and the product you were providing.
● SAP Concurs provides a single way to manage spending from end to end by
connecting all expenses, travel, and vendor invoices, spending in one system.

6. In your opinion, what do you think are the knowledge gaps that exist within your
organization?
a. What types of training do you believe would be effective in addressing and
closing these knowledge gaps?

I think staying updated on the latest technology trends and emerging technology is crucial
for an IT consultant. Knowledge gaps may arise when consultants are not aware of the
newest tools, software, or best practices. So, I think by attending some seminars regarding
the newest technology, will be very beneficial to IT consultants.

Job Performance

7. In your line of work, which areas, such as planning, budgeting, or conflict resolution, do
you personally believe you need to improve?

Well for me, learning is a never ending journey. So I believe there are always new skills to
develop. As a consultant, I would really like to further develop my time management skills.
Because compared to my colleagues, I haven’t been in the profession as long. So I would
like to manage more of my time to be a more efficient consultant to my clients.

FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY


8. How would you rank your capabilities and performance in the following areas from
highest to lowest: innovative/creative skills, problem-solving skills, and communication
skills.

Well, for me as someone who has been on technical support, I think the highest is the
problem solving skills, followed by communication skills, and lastly the innovative and
communication skills.

9. If you had the opportunity to choose a training program to attend, which specific area
would you select, and what's the reason behind your choice?

For me, it’s the Leadership training, because this type of training will help employees better
understand their current roles and increase employee morale, and retention. It also
promotes better decision making that is very useful to build better teams.

10. How do you contribute to maintaining a positive work culture and fostering teamwork
within your department or organization?

I always try my best to share my skills and knowledge to my team, especially to the new
ones and I make sure that everyone has work life balance

11. Can you share a specific instance where you identified an issue or opportunity for
improvement in your job and took proactive steps to address it?

Well, before I was not used to having several meetings with clients but of course with the
help of my colleagues, as I also reached out to them. They helped me how to properly
manage my time, and they also provided me with some tips on how to deal with clients
during meetings.

Job Satisfaction

12. What factors within the organization have positively impacted your work-life balance
and overall job satisfaction?
a. If a training program were available to enhance the specific factor that motivates
you in your job, do you believe it would significantly impact your job satisfaction, or do
you think it would have minimal influence?

FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY


What I like most with SAP Concur is they always promote and give importance to work
life balance, they conduct free outside work seminars, for example like yoga class, coffee
making class, and those were online classes that they currently offer with.
a. Yes, I believe it would definitely have a significant impact.

Professional Growth

receiving namin for that day, second is yung received each day. Thirdly, we address any
proper document nung items for days na quality inspection requests unrelated to risk.
binibeat, third is to accomplish any request Besides receiving, we handle and provide
for quality inspection na wala kinalaman sa disposition for issues within the department,
risk so other than receiving meron pa kase ensuring progress for specific items. Daily,
kaming maging problema within the we also calibrate parts and check the quality

or ayun yung mga sabihin nating daily task
na inasign sa Analyst for specific
department.

3. How long have you been with the company, and can you briefly describe your journey
here, including any changes in roles or responsibilities?

Technically ano talaga ako dito 4 months In the past four months at Zenith in the
palang ako, pero ang previous work ko is Canlubang facility, my experience has been
food manufacturing company din, century a journey marked by changes in roles
pacific gawaan ng argentina, can meat yun compared to my previous two-year stint at
so dun ako nag tagal 2 years ako dun pero Century Pacific, specifically in the can meat
technically same procedure lang din naman division. Despite the differences in
siya kase fast looking for consumers goods procedures, both involve fast-moving
din naman yung mga items namin inaunder consumer goods. The transition revealed
go lang din naman siya. So masasabi ko some nuances in roles within the Quality
yung journey ko within 4 months dito sa Assurance department. At CTF, where we
Zenith sa canlubang facility is ano siya are accredited by SSC, SGS, JMT Hassett,
actually kung yung talagang experience there's a semantic difference. The testing for
lang yung changes sa roles from dun sa dati quality is stringent, encompassing training
kung company and dun sa current work ko in quality, practices fraud, work fraud,
ngayon ay medjo magkaiba sila ng kaunti malathion system, and denim practices. It's
pero though same parin naman ng not just about applying; there's a structured
department Quality Assurance, medjo mas schematic approach to how tasks are
sematic lang pala siya dito sa CTF kasi we executed, emphasizing the heart of QA
are acrylated by SSC, acrylated by SGS, under the broader food management system.
JMT hassett so medjo strict sila with the test In these four months, I've delved into
sa quality nandun talaga lahat ng para dun aspects related to the food management
papasok yung mga trainings natin for system, gaining valuable insights beyond
Quality, training natin for practices fraud, the application of processes.
Work fraud malathion system, so nandun
lagi yung denims na parang in technically
terms nalaman ko siya tapos hindi lang
talaga yung parang nag aapply kalang, mag

FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY


wowork lang nag aapply kalang ng
structure nung schematic approach kung
pano siya gagawing trabaho hindi siya
ganon ka nandun parin yung heart mo as
QA and under the umbrella term ng food
management system nandun siya. So dun sa
4 months na yun natutunan ko yung mga
bagay na ngayon na may kinalaman dun sa
food management system.

Organizational

4. Could you please share any information about training and development programs that
the organization has offered to employees in the past?

Follow-up Question
● Can you provide a rough estimate of the organization's size in terms of the number
of employees?

Doon sa current ko para mapadami lang In my current role, one training program I
parang ganun siya. Yung current ko kasi participated in focused on instrumentation
parang naalala ko lang since 4 months and calibration of equipment, conducted in
palang nga ako dito dalawa palang siya August. This session refreshed analysts on
yung instrumentation and calibration ng the proper use, calibration, safekeeping, and
equipments ano siya e nung august so handling of measuring equipment. Another
nandoon sa parang nirerefresh yung mga recent training in October was the second
analyst kung paano gagamitin yung mga leg of SSC's full safety management system
important tools yung measuring equipments accreditation. This training elevated the
ano yung mga tamang calibration everyday, company's credibility by emphasizing food
tapos tamang usage tamang safe keeping management systems, discussing crucial
tamang handling ng equipments so marami points related to food handling, and aligning
siya lahat ng ginagamit namin sa trainings with the company's safety practices.
na pinagdaanan ko at yung isa ay yung
recent lang itong October lang siya kase In my previous role at Century Pacific, there

FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY


dumaan kase ng second leg ng SSC sa full were specific training programs. One
safety, management system body na involved Hassett training, addressing l
inaacredit sa isang Critical Control Points (CCP) like high
Para lang mas mataas yung credibility mo temperatures and sewing machines. The
sa company kase meron ganitong klaseng training aimed to enhance organizational
item parang gayan, if pumasa kame dun sa practices and, upon passing, contributed to
SSC na odith parang mas makikilala yung the company's accreditation and credibility.
company mo as a safe company for food so These training programs ladderized, starting
yung training namin dun undergoes ayun with food manufacturing practices,
nga food management systems nandun lahat warehouse practices, Hassett, CCS, and
ang nadiscuss sa aming mga points, culminating in ISO, an international
pointers about drifty yung terms na standard that companies aspire to achieve.
kailangan naming food manage nandudun The goal is to ensure employees, especially
siya tapos yung sa previous work ko naman those in quality assurance and production,
is yung hassett na training so nandun are knowledgeable about the system,
naman yung training namin for CCP fostering awareness and responsibility for
critical control points meron kaseng critical producing quality goods under the food
control point sa companny sa previous management system. The training also
which yung high temperature namin and covered specifics, such as sewing machine
yung sewing machine so parang adjustments and retort vessel operations.
pinagrealan siya and diniscuss sa amin ● Certainly! The organization is quite
yung CC6 and bakit ito naging critical extensive, especially in terms of
control point bakit ito kailangan naming production. With various brands and
pagtuunan ng pansin na are, yun ding around 3000 outlets, using Jollibee
kaseng hassett organizational hindi naman as an example, we have many more.
siya organizational body pero ginagawan Let's estimate, for instance, 20
din siya ng odith para makapasa ka sa employees per store, so 3000
hassett tapos yun kapag nakapasa ka ganun times20 for Jollibee alone. Besides
din maaacredit mo yung company mo na in that, we have our head office and
terms of credibility and yung parang sabihin corporate staff. In our specific
na natin na yung pagkakakilala sa company location, we roughly have 500 to
ay baga maganda parang ganyan kase 1000 employees. If we focus on
nadun yung qualities ng mga price mga regular employees, it might be

FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY


printers , ano kase siya ladderize so from around 300. However, the majority
food manufacturing practices in developing of our workforce comes from
group warehouse practices yun may level third-party manufacturing and
yun tapos the third is yung hassett na ata agency staff who handle production.
and then the fourth is CCS and then yung If we consider the total headcount,
pinakamataas yung ISO yung ISO kase it's between 500 and less than 1000
sobrang international na kase siya so mas at our plant.
mahirap so parang yung aim ni company
every company aims to have ISO debretion
so within the plans of the company
kailangan talagang meron tayong mga
trainings na e under go dun sa mga
employees which is yun nga katulad namin
sa quality assurance end production needs
yung gumagawa ng trabaho para maging
ano sila ba knowledgeble about the system
na hindi lang talaga sila basta nag
tatrabaho na kapag nakita sila ng ganito
ganyan aware sila end they are responsible
in producing quality goods under the
umbrella term ng food management system.
training na din yun yung sa previous
company yun nga yung sa sewing machine
may specific kasi dun sa supplier diniscuss
sa amin yung specific nung ano hindi ko
lang alam kung mas medjo magulo kasi
lumayo ako ng kunti sa previous job ko to
yung specific nung machine na yun tinuro
saamin kung pano mo siya e adjust pano mo
siya gawin paano mo siya gamitin yung plus
yun ngang sa retort yung sa high
temperature namin na ano na retort vessel
ganun din tinuro din yung specific,

FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY


troubleshooting di na ko mag dadrive into
specific kasi medjo technically siya pero yun
yung mga trainings na naunder go ko.
● Sobrang big number yung pag
talagang buong ano kase production
palang namin, ibat ibang brand
palang e nasa 3000 outlets si
jollibee palang e marami pa tayo
diba so estimate mo meron kang
employee na man store na sabihin
na natin nasa 20 so 3000×20 si
jollibee palang yun e ilan pa yung
brands e sobrang dami pa talaga
dun sa amin ano pala meron pa
tayong head office mga corporates
natin meron pa rin yun eto lang
saamin nasa roughly around nass
500-1000 employees yung nasa ano
namin ngayon kase ano siya kung
regular employees yan konti lang
siguro 300 ganyan pero ang dami
kase namin ay yung third party yung
manufacturing namin agency namin
nandodoon talaga yung production
yung mga tao pero kung mga regular
employees lang talaga konti lang
siguro 200-300 lang pero ayun nga
itototal size naman headcount nasa
500 less than 1000 yung nasa planta
namin.

5. What specific training and development do you believe would be beneficial for your
department as a whole?

FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY


Yung sa instrumentation and calibration so The instrumentation and calibration training
cinonduct siya nung august so lahat ng QA conducted in August involved the entire
ng CDF is umattend day shift and it was Quality Assurance (QA) team at CDF
conducted by our quality assurance during the day shift. The session was
laboratory department lahat ng nandudun facilitated by the Quality Assurance
sa microbiological lab the training Laboratory department, specifically by the
specialists on the proper usage, handling, training specialists in the microbiological
safe keeping and calibration of equipment lab. The focus was on the proper usage,
and materials that are use in our company handling, safekeeping, and calibration of
specific to orderly respective duties and job equipment and materials used in the
or areas so first example brainscape so company, tailored to the respective duties
meron kaming top loading balances, and areas of the attendees.
analytical balances na ginagamit depende For example, in handling balances, such as
kung ano yung item na titimbangin in terms top-loading and analytical balances used for
of grams and kilograms or using top weighing items in grams and kilograms, the
loading balances its grams below ganyan training covered proper usage and
we use analytical balances kung pano yung pre-handling, including calibration with test
proper usage of pre handling like in traits to ensure accurate readings. Proper
calibration meron tayong mga test traits na handling was emphasized to avoid damage
ginagamit and then e checheck natin kung to sensor loads, especially due to frequent
nasa tama pa ba yung reading nung specific movements. Cleaning equipment was also
equipment kasi calibrated naman yung test highlighted as an essential practice.
so dapat kung ito ay 1000 grams, 1000
grams ang lalabas sa equipment proper Another aspect covered was the use of
handling dapat yung item natin reason in meters to determine the pH levels of items,
any vibrating or movable materials kasi especially in solutions with values of 4, 7,
posible na masira and madamage yung mga and 10. Daily calibration was stressed to
sensor loads natin dun kasi more on ensure the accuracy of readings, with
frequent movement din siya and baka kasi considerations for proper handling to avoid
magkaroon ng something dun sa mga vibrations and maintaining a cool
sensor load proper cleaning equipment environment due to the sensitivity of pH
kailangan din siya so yun yung mga levels to temperature variations.
example second is meter each meter are use

FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY


to determine the ayun nga specific stages The training delved into temperature
value of item so dun tayo sa reason, basic thermometers and temperature checkers,
and acidic so meron tayong motor solution outlining parameters for calibration in hot
for calibration the 4 and the 7 and the 10 and cold water. Proper handling included
specificaly yung PH lang nun e chicheck safeguarding sensors and ensuring they are
natin siya everday kung tumutugma pa ba not exposed to any external pressure or
kung ang ni reread ni bumper solution is 4, construction to prevent damage. Calibration
7,and 10, kung hindi na siya ni reread nang and proper storage practices were discussed,
ganun. including the equivalence of true value.
proper handling kailangan din pre from any Correction factors were introduced,
vibrating and movement of materials kasi illustrating scenarios where equipment,
ang pangit ng rating niya and kailangan especially older ones, might not function at
malamig yung area kasi nagkakaroon ng 100%, requiring adjustment for accurate
problema dba ang PH natin ay depende sa readings. Stickers with calibration details
temperature medjo mataas ang temperature were mentioned, emphasizing the
na nakukuha ng area mo possible yung PH importance of prolonging the lifespan of
leading mo ay nag vavary din and sensitive functional but older equipment, aligning
kasi siya so para mas maganda or kung ano with the company's focus on efficiency and
ang mas accurate rating sa atin dun tayo resource optimization.
range ng 22,23 ng area 3rd is specifically
yung ating temperature thermometer parang
ganun narin parameter and temperature
checker ganun din kung meron tayong
calibration na ginagawa everyday for hot
and cold tinutubog siya sa mainit na tubig
and well to check is temperature rating is
for boiling is around 50 degree celsius or
for freezing celsius proper handling dapat
naka tago siya yung sensor natin or yung
temperature prove natin is hindi dapat siya
papataan ng kahit anong bagay or matigas
or free siya to any construction para hindi
siya masira ayun bali calibration and

FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY


proper storage meron din kasi kaming
diniscuss noon na equivalence of true value
kasi yung equipment is hindi, maisama ko
lang siya meron kasi siyang kunwari sinabi
sinaksak mo yung termometer nagkaroon ka
ng reading 75 degree celsius depende kasi
yun sa equipment kung ang equipment mo
ay subrang luma na at meron na siya
correction factors yung 75 degrees mo
magbabago yun komporme doon sa
correction factor na inassign ni calibrator
dun sa item nya kunwari meron kang
possitive or negative 1 degress celsius na
variance kung sabihin natin kapag lahat
merong additional pero nung nag tusok ka
75 na merong siyang correction factor si
equipment mo so magiging 76 degree siya
parang ganun with respect to correction
factor na binigay ni calebrator ayun yung
susundin mo so meron mga ganung klase,
nakadikit naman siya as sticker kasama
nung calebration dun sa equipment meron
ding mga ganun kasi syempre mga luma na
yung item salvage value kasi hindi na rin
masyado syempre company tayo e more on
saving tayo so kahit matagal na yung item
basta gumagana pa pagtsagaan natin yun di
naman tayo para dun sa subrang pinaka
standard kung meron kang 18years
something na 5 years after 5 years afford na
din siya kahit gumagana pa mga ganun
kaya nga pumapasok yung mga correction

FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY


factors natin kasi nga hindi nag fafunction
ng 100% yung ating equipment

organization?
a. What types of training do you believe would be effective in addressing and
closing these knowledge gaps?

Follow -up Question


● What are the organization's objectives or goals for the current year?
• What strategies are you aware of that the organization used to ensure that it
meets or exceeds its performance targets and aligns with the overall corporate
goals?

Since i am quality assurances analyst It's clear that as a Quality Assurance


nandun tayo sa training with respect to analyst, your focus extends beyond your
quality ako kasi as an employee parang role to emphasize the importance of food
syempre if you put your hard to your work safety across all work areas. You want to
parang mag tatranslate kasi yun kung belief translate the training provided not only for

mo kunwari ako as a quality assurance so but for everyone you interact with, stressing
nasa quality tayo ayun yung gusto kung e the reciprocal nature of the management
translate sa lahat hindi lang dun sa work system and the significance of food safety.
ko,sa lahat ng work mates, ko sa lahat ng Your aim is to implement more frequent
mga nakakasalamuha ko kahit hindi sila discussions on food safety, emphasizing its
quality assurance, so in training provided broad impact on those involved in food
sana saamin and dun sa mga taong preparation, reception, and consumption.
nakasalamuha namin which is maganda You've observed various contaminations
yung reproduction is yung reciprocal sa within your four months, including mental,
management system end yung importans ng plastic, and test contaminations,
food safety. Ang food safety two words lang highlighting the need for awareness and
sya pero napakalawak nun parang pag care. Stressing the importance of
sinabi mo kasing food safety sasabihin mo incorporating a mindset that considers the
lang ligtas yung pagkain na ginagawa mo safety of the food consumed by your own

FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY


okay na hindi hindi, lahat nandodoon siya family members is a crucial aspect you want
so hindi lang siya ligtas para sa kakain to convey. The idea of "CCT" or Care,
ligtas din siya para sa gumagawa ligtas din Compassion, and Thoughtfulness resonates
siya sa nag peprepare ligtas din siya para strongly with you, and you aspire to further
sa nag rereiceve so ayun nandodoon siya develop and instill this mindset in the
madaming bullets under food safety na workplace.
kailangan ma discuss so ayun ang isa sa a. It's evident that there's a knowledge
gusto ko na implement naman siya sabihin gap, particularly in frequency
nating more frequent. Paulit ulit siya na nag awareness, within the Quality
kakaroon ng problema share ko lang Assurance (QA) department. A
example contamination with in 4 months ko specific training focus for
dito napakadaming contaminance na manufacturing under the QA
nagkakaroon ng interception doon sa loob department is crucial to ensure that
actually wala pa nga ako don sa loob e everyone is well-informed,
nababalitaan ko lang siya so yun since addressing not only our gaps but
confidentiality naman tayo dito ma share ko also expanding knowledge among
lang, na meron talaga existing yung mga manufacturing teams. Alignment
ganung klaseng senaryo hindi lang sa within the QA department is another
company namin lahat ng company meron identified gap—ensuring that
tayong mental contaminace, plastic everyone, including managers,
contaminace,meron tayong test shares the same level of
contaminance yung mga flies, worms, understanding to prevent
larva,madami lumalabas naman siya sa miscommunication and data
company ng safe. Literate to everyone the discrepancies. Filling this gap
importance of foods safety na hindi lang requires targeted training sessions,
kayo basta magtrabaho ng mabilis di lang frequent toolbox meetings, and
kayo basta magtrabaho ng makauwi lang ng ongoing learning opportunities.
maaga nandun dapat ang puso work na
nandodoon yung care and nandodoon yung On a positive note, it's commendable
compassion mo sa food end consume yung that the Canlubang-based facility is
kakain hindi mo alam ito yung nagiging open to training and seminars. The
terms namin sa company di mo alam baka regular provision of screening and
kainin ng anak ko yan di mo alam baka seminars every month is a positive

FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY


kainin ng nanay mo yan di mo alam baka step in addressing these gaps and
kainin ng tatay mo yan yung ginawa mong improving overall knowledge and
yan diba tapos nagkataong may communication within the team.
contaminant so ayun yung CCT na para sa Consistent training initiatives
akin is gusto kung ma develop pa ayun yung contribute significantly to bridging
pinaka gusto kung e develop talaga these knowledge gaps and fostering
a. Knowledge gap di kasi siya sa lahat a more aligned and informed
alam frequency saamin as QA pero working environment.
doon sa manufacturing is kulang ● It's great to see that your department
kaya dapat din makakaroon ng is focused on continuous
specific training for manufacturing improvement, emphasizing food
under quality assurance department safety policies, and fostering a
para naaline ng hindi lang kami ang harmonious work environment.
yung may alam dapat alam din nila Prioritizing the training of both new
so ayun others specific gaps namin and existing employees on these
ay siguro alignment with in quality policies ensures a consistent
assurance department na lahat ng understanding and implementation
alam ko dapat alam nila lahat ng across the board.
alam ng managers alam namin
ganun na walang naiiwan na data Building a family-like atmosphere
kasi once na mali yung na translate within the organization is a
mo sa ibang tao or kulang yung ma wonderful goal. It not only
translate mo sa ibang tao baka kasi contributes to a positive work
ayun yung pag cast ng environment but also enhances
miscommunication so kailangan collaboration and teamwork. The
yung ayun nga yung gap na part na emphasis on cost-saving initiatives
yun ay mapunan at magkaroon ng aligns with the efficient and
ibang training, frequent tool box sustainable practices that are crucial
meeting frequent missing parang for the department's success.
ganyan which is meron naman sa
canlubang base ng facility sa unit As you approach the end of the year,

9. If you had the opportunity to choose a training program to attend, which specific area
would you select, and what's the reason behind your choice?

Palagay ko wala na akong gustong training I think I no longer have a preference for

Job Satisfaction

12. What factors within the organization have positively impacted your work-life balance
and overall job satisfaction?
a. If a training program were available to enhance the specific factor that motivates
you in your job, do you believe it would significantly impact your job satisfaction, or do
you think it would have minimal influence?

Follow-up Question
● What improvement or changes in your job or work environment do you believe
would enhance your job satisfaction?

FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY


Malaki ang nagagawa ng training, kasi A substantial percentage of improvement
during trainings don mo makikita kung comes from training. However, it's not just
paano ka mag-iimprove, o paano ka training that motivates employees; job
magiging efficient and effective don sa satisfaction is also crucial. Incentives and
paggawa mo ng trabaho mo diba. So awards are motivating factors, as well. It's
malaking percentage ng improvement comes more motivating when your hard work is
from the training, pero hindi lang naman recognized and rewarded, especially if
yung training yung nakakamotivate sa there's a monetary component to the
employees dahil malaking bagay den dito incentives.
yung job satisfaction, nakakamotivate din ● The local chief executive's support

Participant 5 Job Position: Interviewees:
Business Analyst II Noella Julliene Basco & Risha Marcellana

Demographic

1. Could you describe your current job role and responsibilities in your own words?

Currently, I’m working at DXC Technology as the Business Analyst II. In line with that, I
am responsible with the order processing, licensing orders, and assisting with the
administrative task. Also, I’m dealing with the WBS creations and then helping other
things with their tasks. That's the main job description that I’ve currently been doing since
I joined DXC.

2. What are the key tasks and projects you're currently working on in your role?

Currently, I am responsible for order processing. I am the POC, or point of contact, for the
WBS creations with regards to the PSA system for the whole licensing order, and I’ve been
also handling teams and communications from vendors and customers, as well as with the
account managers.

3. How long have you been with the company, and can you briefly describe your journey
here, including any changes in roles or responsibilities?

I joined DXC in January 2022, so I’ve been in the company for a year and 10 months. With
regards to my journey, DXC is a very free company. We are actually allowed to go out
during our shifts as long as we are doing it correctly and also, when it comes to
responsibilities, as I’ve mentioned earlier, handling licensing orders, so I’m focusing on
that, and also, what’s the other question?

Organizational

4. Could you please share any information about training and development programs that
the organization has offered to employees in the past?
a. If so, could you provide more details about a specific training program you're
familiar with, such as the name of the program and the approximate date when it was
conducted?

FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY


Within the company, DXC, we have a system where you can input your future goals with
the company. They offer training that is tailored to your specific goals, and you can also
request training that aligns with your current job responsibilities. Regarding training, I
recently attended a course on Formal Email Communication and Presentation.
Additionally, I have completed advanced Excel training and advanced business analyst
training, among other things.

5. What specific training and development do you believe would be beneficial for your
department as a whole?

Okay, with regards to the departments and issues, I think that since most of us are actually
business analysts in the team, I believe that anything related to presentation, Excel,
analysis, or auditing would be beneficial for each team since we are also handling the
analysis of data. What else? Yeah, I think that’s the most of it.

6. In your opinion, what do you think are the knowledge gaps that exist within your
organization?
a. What types of training do you believe would be effective in addressing and
closing these knowledge gaps?

Okay, when it comes to knowledge gaps, I believe that we are actually missing the detail
transaction processing because currently we do not have that in the team. And also, each
member of the team has different roles, different responsibilities, different job description
and when one person is missing, we are actually a bit lost since we do not have the details
of transaction processing so we cannot back up the missing processor. So I think it would
be beneficial if we do have that DTP or the detailed transaction processing since that
would be a big help to anyone from the team to help out in case one is missing or on sick
leave or vacation leave. Yeah, I think that’s it.

Job Performance

7. In your line of work, which areas, such as planning, budgeting, or conflict resolution, do
you personally believe you need to improve?

I think I would need to improve when it comes to budgeting not because I am not aware of
that but because that’s actually met too much in time with what I’m doing.

FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY


8. How would you rank your capabilities and performance in the following areas from
highest to lowest: innovative/creative skills, problem-solving skills, and communication
skills.

First would be problem solving. Next would be the communication and last would be the
innovative skills.

9. If you had the opportunity to choose a training program to attend, which specific area
would you select, and what's the reason behind your choice?

If there would be a training related to licensing, I would take it because actually when you
ask other companies, licensing is not that known. It’s actually new within DXC so just a
little background, I am not in the licensing in my previous job, I am actually from accounts
payable teams so I’ve handled invoice processing, payment, vendor analysis
reconciliations and in related to accounts payable but within DXC, I was offered with the
role with licensing so there’s actually not too much who did licensing in the Philippines,
mostly abroad such as Australia and New Zealand. So, I think I would love to attend a
training about licensing.

10. How do you contribute to maintaining a positive work culture and fostering teamwork
within your department or organization?

When it comes to teamwork, I can say that if I have questions or anything I am not familiar
with, my colleagues and coworkers are approachable so I can easily ask them. If there’s
anything I am not sure about or vice versa and also … When it comes to positive culture,
actually since DXC is pretty much has this freedom with its employees, I just communicate
positively. Actually, there’s a little gap since I’ve been working from home since I joined
DXC so most of the time I’m working from home so there’s not literally much interaction
when it comes to face to face. So, I can only say that we openly communicate through
teams, through calls. So, that’s it. Not much of the face to face interactions unless we are
asked to attend the on-site training in the office or just catch up.

11. Can you share a specific instance where you identified an issue or opportunity for
improvement in your job and took proactive steps to address it?

FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY


It is somewhat similar to what I’ve mentioned earlier with Noela. I think it’s about the
detailed transaction processing. So, when I first came in DXC, we do not have that so I
actually have a hard time understanding process because the person who I was supposed to
replaced with actually no longer in the company so he cannot train me or anything so I
have to step up my way, learn everything from the beginning with all my efforts because
no one can teach me because again there’s no legal transaction processing so I have to take
a step to learn everything and from then, I created the delays detail transaction processing
for each processes that I’m handling and then pass it to my manager and distribute to the
team so in case, in case I am not around, in case my other colleagues have questions I am
working with, they can easily access that and go through that file.

Job Satisfaction

12. What factors within the organization have positively impacted your work-life balance
and overall job satisfaction?
a. If a training program were available to enhance the specific factor that motivates
you in your job, do you believe it would significantly impact your job satisfaction, or do
you think it would have minimal influence?

In overall job satisfaction, I am happy that we are currently working from home because
first, i don;t have to pay rent in Manila because our office is currently based on Mckinley
as we all know Mckinley in BGC is actually a high, somewhat high so the living expenses
is actually quite high when you’re living there and I also lived there for the past 5 years
since I started working and so, yes, working from home is an edge. Also, my managers, I
actually have two managers. One from Manila and one from Australia. So, for me they are
giving us the leeway to do whatever we want with our job as long as we meet our
deadlines, with what we need to do and as long as we have the contribution with the
company and also another thing, they are also giving awards *inaudible* for every member
who has an impact contribution within the organization.
a. I think it would actually have an impact but it depends on the training. If I think
that it would be beneficial or something I can use in my current and what are my
aspirations within the company, then I think it would have a great impact but if it’s
something I don't think that much of a contribution with me.

FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY


Professional Growth

13. Do you feel that your current job provides ample opportunities for you to develop and
fully utilize your skills, including those acquired through training programs you've
attended?

It’s quite a hard question since aside from it is not actually in line with what I’ve been
doing for the past five years so, I’m having a hard time comparing my expertise with my
current job. When it comes to the current trainings that I have already attended, I don’t
think it is actually have a little connection with what I’ve been doing for the past 5 years
since I actually have the expertise when it comes to accounts payable which is not too
much inlined with the licensing but I think my experience and expertise in accounts
payable actually helped other team members and the team when it comes to the larger scale
of the organization since I was able to help with the problem solving when it comes to
accounts payable, accounts reconciliation, accounts receivables and anything related to
that.

II. Performance Metrics


The weaknesses that emerged from the interview are as follows:
● Detail Transaction Processing - the absence of this negatively contributes to
the cohesiveness of the team as there is no backup or guidelines to follow
whenever there are missing processors, which could be easily identified given
the existence of the said weakness
● Use of Technology - due to the lack of technological knowledge and the rapid
advancements on technology in the present time, employees have the need to
stay updated regarding this since this contributes to the convenience and
efficiency within the organization
● Stress Management - given the nature of work, i.e. administrative officer, and
as it affects the work quality of the interviewees. Meaning to say, as stress
piles up, individuals cannot function properly. Thus, they cannot do their job

IV. Review of Organizational Goals
In pursuit of comprehensive development, organizational goals are
strategically aligned to foster growth at various levels. From individual empowerment
and team collaboration, to company expansion and heightened customer satisfaction,
objectives encompass a holistic approach to ensure success across diverse dimensions.

The organization successfully achieved one of its key goals by implementing the
comprehensive development plan. This accomplishment was facilitated through
consistent coordination within the department and the proactive organization of
technical and administrative meetings involving all relevant stakeholders. The
commitment to strategic collaboration and communication played a pivotal role in the
successful realization of this objective.

Simultaneously, customer satisfaction is a priority, with efforts directed towards
providing personalized services that cater to evolving preferences. In essence, the
overarching goal is holistic growth, spanning individual, team, company, and
customer dimensions.

V. Compile and Analyze Data


With the results of the interview, several lapses were found between the
government and private sector. The government sector is challenging since they do
not only focus on one work-expertise, instead in a more diverse kinds of jobs. Making
their job dynamic as they should be prepared to do any job they are assigned to. As a
result, training programs and professional development opportunities are needed
across various sectors. Most of the organization showed deficiencies in conducting a
holistic training (i.e. including all departments) and specialized training (i.e. exclusive
for a particular department) where there will be limited resources available for
training and development for the needed knowledge to perform the specific job due to
lack of budget allotted for the training and development. They often operate within

FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY


tight budgets and allocating funds for training and development programs may be
challenging. This can limit the resources available for creating effective training
initiatives.
In addition to these shortcomings are gaps within the manpower wherein it
often leads to the increase of workload for existing employees. Also, without a
technology-based planning system, it becomes difficult for organizations to gather,
update, and disseminate information about the latest technology trends which also
affects the efficiency within the workplace and access to documents needed. This can
result in employees relying on outdated information and practices. Above all, the
organization within government sectors might not emphasize or value employee
recognition as much as other sectors do, leading to a lack of enthusiasm or effort in
implementing award programs.
On the other hand, according to an employee from the government sector, the
work in the Local government unit LGU is known to offer ample opportunities to
apply to whatever you are still learning. Within the government sector, various
departments need to work together to achieve common goals. This results in higher
rank in terms of communication skills and combined with adaptability, this fosters
better understanding, builds trust, and enhances public satisfaction with government
services.
Relatively, conducting various training and development programs, including
job orders and outside government employees specifically in each barangay, has been
a priority for local governments in order to quantify them all and make them
co-trainers of the designated department who attended the training. Thereby,
expanding the learning insights and skills gained during the conduct of the training
and development programs. In accordance with the local government’s specific
training and development programs, their respective departments are continuing these
to further strengthen the capacity development and the four pillars of Human
Resource Labor Relations (HRM) to have a versatile holistic approach across crucial
areas. It is a spot in the government that can build trust and affect decision-making,
wherein it can create positive engagement within the department and gain assurance
that the employees are well-prepared for handling conflict. These opportunities have
allowed the employees to fully utilize their potential and skills, making them able to
handle various tasks.

FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY


Whereas, private sectors conduct training and development programs that are
specific to their divisions only, tackling their own sets of skills and competencies
required in their field of work. However, these are also the subject matter in which
they lack training and development programs which led them to attend various
training and programs that could enhance their knowledge gaps and lapses in terms of
their improvement as an employee in their respective companies. Upon describing,
they lack the skills and competencies needed for their certain role because they
indicated that their specific role in their job was not related to their knowledge, which
leads them to step on their ways to nurture and improve the specific skill needed in
their job. With that, private sectors’ employees tend to have similarities and
differences in terms of their ranks in their competencies particularly in innovativeness
and creativity. This could indicate that these skills are not as valued within the typical
private sector work environment. Additionally, with the case of problem-solving
skills, a certain employee identified the said skill as their weakness since they were
only newly hired. But in the case of the majority, problem-solving and communication
skills displayed fluctuating rankings because of their different working experience
and job positions as a private sector employee.
However, the private sector can respond quickly to changes in the industry,
technology, and trends. By closely monitoring market trends and technological
advancements, private sector organizations can identify skill gaps and training
requirements promptly. They often invest in training programs, regarding innovative
technologies to ensure employees receive up-to-date and relevant skills. According to
an organization, maintaining hands-on assistance with customers helps in
understanding their needs and preferences. This enables them to design and
implement training programs that align with current and future business needs.
In summary, government work is extensive, making local government
employees fulfill jobs not limited to just one area, thus being called the workhorse of
the municipality. Their goals are aligned with having an impact in the public sector
and not just in their own distinctive departments, which makes them different from
the private sector employees' goals. More diverse and organizational-centered goals
tend to be the focus and established in the private sector, explaining why their goals
are focused on establishing good performance in terms of the specific skills and
competencies needed for their job.

FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY


Along with that, government sectors conduct training and development
programs that are beneficial not just to them as employees but also to other employees
in and out of their department, making them the lead trainers and passing on the
knowledge, skills, and competencies they have obtained to be able to function in
many areas. Subsequently, the private sector tends to be more individualistic, as they
focus more on the skills and competencies needed to perform their specific role in
their job. Hence, enhancing their own full potential.
Lastly, private sectors have their own distinctive ways of determining other
factors that contribute to their motivation and job satisfaction such as continuous
learning, a work environment that focuses on engagement, free outside work
seminars, and flexibility. These are seen as completely different to how government
sectors present theirs. As for them, more often recognition with monetary grants, and
promotion from within are the leading factors to their motivation, job satisfaction, and
professional growth. In conclusion, both sectors displayed differences when it comes
to their motivation in these facets. But, as an employee, they are aware of the factors
that contribute to their motivation as they work in their respective companies,
focusing on their distinctive roles bestowed to them within the organization.

VI. Develop a Training Plan

Half of the interviewees revealed that a lack of training programs, most


especially with specific job roles exists within the company. For newly hired
employees, the Orientation and Onboarding Training is beneficial in introducing the
company and the job responsibilities. These training sessions provide employees with
clear and accurate information that helps them be more comfortable in the company.
Furthermore, it familiarizes employees, especially newly hired, with the history of the
organization, their current undertaking, relevant policies and procedures, and the
future plan and goals of the company. On the other hand, for the field of quality
assurance, it is suggested to conduct a Product Training in order to further improve
product awareness which in return strengthens product quality.

When it comes to personal development and performance lapses of the


interviewees, the training needs analysis revealed that 5 out of 6 employees are having
lapses in performing creatively and innovatively in their job. Since 4 out of 6
employees reported that they are being motivated with their company promoting

FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY


work-life balance and 3 out of 6 affects their job satisfaction through recognitions and
rewards, it is recommended that Gamification Training be applied. Gamified learning
programs such as adding points, badges, leadership board and rewards while
employees are learning can contribute to their job satisfaction. Through having a
classroom training type, focusing on the discussion of strategic thinking and planning,
it will deepen the employees' understanding of the relationship between strategy,
planning, and execution; and how to develop a strategic mindset, improve analytical
skills, and apply creative planning to current challenges. Inversely, Team-building is
the most prominent development plan that helps employees with their personal
development. Scenario-based and problem-based games will serve as a technique that
places the trainees into an experiential and simulated experience anchored with their
job. This activity will promote not just creativity and innovative thinking of
employees, but it will give way to other lapses such as communication skills, problem
solving skills, and critical thinking.
