Ensuring that the best service is provided to the BiPSUnistas, Biliran Province State University continues to strategize for the continuous development of its various offices through the recent training on workplace performance.

Aimed at furnishing the non-teaching personnel with a comprehensive understanding of performance management evaluation, Biliran Province State University hosted a two-day seminar workshop on Workplace Performance Evaluation and Development at the ASEMCO Hilltop Resort in Almeria, Biliran, on October 15-16.

The activity, held in partnership with the Biliran Council of Human Resource Management Practitioners, Inc. and the Civil Service Commission (CSC), was attended by at least 60 non-teaching personnel.

In his message, University President Dr. Victor C. Cañezo, Jr., mentioned that the activity is under the university’s development plan, Weaving of Worthiness 2.0 (WoW BiPSU), which encapsulates the university’s overarching direction. 

“We are reminded of the collective effort required to strengthen the institution,” Dr. Cañezo said. “This initiative reflects our dedication to fostering an environment where each member of our community plays a vital role in weaving together excellence, collaboration, and service for the greater good.”

The workshop featured Director Michael M. Dela Cruz of the Southern Leyte Civil Service Commission Field Office, as the resource speaker. His discussions revolved around the Performance Management System-Office Performance Evaluation System (PMS-OPES) developed by the CSC.

He highlighted the critical role of performance evaluation in bridging the gap between individual contributions and the university’s strategic objectives. “This performance management system serves as a vital tool for ensuring that every employee’s efforts are aligned with the institution’s vision.”

The conduct of the activity was rooted in Administrative Order No. 241, series of 2008, which mandates the establishment of a performance evaluation system grounded in objectively measured outputs and performance metrics. The seminar-workshop aimed to provide participants with a thorough understanding of performance management evaluation, aligning individual performance with organizational goals.

Topics discussed during the seminar included the legal bases and purpose of Performance Management (PM), its alignment and benefits to the organization, and the stages of the Performance Management Cycle.

Moreover, participants were also introduced to Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), goal setting and alignment using SMART goals, and the importance of cascading individual goals to meet the organization’s objectives. Additionally, the workshop emphasized the significance of regular feedback, effective feedback techniques, and linking performance to development plans.
