Labor and employment department recognized the significant contributions and outstanding accomplishments of Public Employment Services Office (PESO) in Oroquieta city in the implementation of DOLE employment facilitation programs and for being institutionalized in the year 2018.
Misamis Occidental Provincial Field Office (PFO) Chief Leonardo G. Rodrigo, in an employment services training conducted in the city, said, “Out from the 1,780 PESOs that have been established across the country as of December 2011, only 1,125 are operational and just 74 PESOs are institutionalized and I am glad we are one of them.”
“This undertaking has largely benefited our constituents in the labor market [supply and demand of jobs]. The innovations and creative approaches by the PESOs and the local chief executives of our city were seen to have filled in the gaps in our employment facilitation efforts,” Rodrigo said.
DOLE, meanwhile, conducted a Basic Employment Services and Workplace Productivity to 29 staff of the Public Employment Services Office (PESO) and the Tourism Office of the local government unit of Oroquieta City where the participants were taught on the prompt, timely, and efficient delivery of employment service and the provision of information on other DOLE employment and self-employment programs. The PESO core functions were highlighted such as job search assistance and placement services, labor market information services, administration of labor market programs and regulatory services.
Also tackled was the ideal minimum staffing that complements a PESO office headed by its Manager who take charge in all technical and administrative activities done by the Labor Market Information Officer, Placement Officer, Employment Counseling Officer and IT staff/encoder.
Expressing his gratitude, PESO Manager Mark Artigas said, “We believe that achieving productivity in a workplace means harnessing the Filipino spirit of teamwork based on being knowledgeable on the employment services, implementing the concept of 5S and instilling the commonly-shared ISTIV values to work systems by both the management and the workers.”
The PESO is the employment arm of the DOLE in the LGU, bringing employment facilitation closer to the people, thereby improving their economic situations in life. (DOLE-X Mis. Occ. PFO)
