The Program to Institutionalize Meritocracy and Excellence in Human Resource Management (PRIME-HRM) integrates the Personnel Management Assessment and Assistance Program (PMAAP) and the CSC Agency Accreditation Program (CSCAAP) that empowers government agencies to develop their human resource management competencies, systems, and practices toward HR excellence.
The CSC assesses the agency’s maturity level in four HR systems: (1) recruitment, selection, and placement; (2) learning and development; (3) performance management; and (4) rewards and recognition. Based on the assessment, a government agency may be classified according to four maturity levels:
Transactional HRM – HR assumes personnel function that is mostly separate from agency/business and talent need.
Process-Defined HRM – There is a set of defined and documented SOPs established, though it needs improvement. It is characterized by goal-oriented decision making. There is some automated system but little integration of data.
Integrated HRM – Uses process metrics for continuous improvement, an HR management toolkit, and data-driven decision making. HR function supports agency business needs.
Strategic HRM – HR processes are focused on continually improving process performance. It is also systematically managed by a combination of process optimization and continuous improvement. At this level, HR helps to drive agency business decision on people, data, and insight. HR strategy is already part of the agency strategy.
The CSC provides customized technical assistance and developmental interventions according to the determined needs of the agency, such as in the January 8 visit.
PRIME-HRM entails greater engagement not just of the human resource management officer (HRMO) but also of the officials and the rank-and-file employees of the agency. Agencies may vie for special rewards and citations for HR excellence.
UP Mindanao’s efforts toward PRIME HRM align with the UP System’s Flagship Program on Quality Assurance and Quality Management Systems, and the Sustainable Development Goals of Decent Work and Economic Growth and Industry Innovation and Infrastructure.
