THE Cebu Provincial Government, through the Human Resource Management Office (HRMO), will host the first-ever Human Resource Convention at the Capitol Social Hall on September 26 with the theme “Understanding People”.
The convention aims to bring together people managers of the provincial government to learn from experts, observe best practices and reflect on how to replicate these to increase efficiency and effective operations in the Capitol.
“Human resource is the most important resource in any organization, yet, there is no venue for people managers of the Capitol to discuss how to effectively harness their people management knowledge and skills,” HRMO chief Bonifer Nacorda said.
“We consider this gap as an opportunity to share experiences and learn vicariously,” he added.
Experts on different subject matters are lined up as speakers on relevant and trending topics in people management.
Erwin C. Cudis, MPsych MHRM, an HR and Training consultant and faculty at the University of San Carlos USC Department of Psychology, will talk about “Understanding Generation Gaps”.
He will share tips specifically on how to address generational gaps in the workplace and how to effectively deal with each generation cluster.
To talk about mental health, Ma. Yllen G. Agpasa, MA, RP, a psychologist of the 53rd Engineering Brigade of the Armed Forces of the Philippines, will share about “Staying Sane at Work: Promoting Mental Health”. She will uncover work challenges affecting mental health and share tips on dealing with colleagues or bosses with mental-health concerns.
Another psychologist and faculty of USC Department of Psychology, Niel Steve M. Kintanar, MA, RP, will tackle “Positive Psychology”, which includes basic concepts and benefits relating to positive psychology, and how to apply it at work.
A forum on “How to be a Transformational Leader?” will be held in the afternoon. Resource speakers from different fields will share and exchange ideas and views, and engage the attendees on the topic.
The forum will be joined by Ariel B. Bacatan, acting director III of the Civil Service Commission-Region 7; Dr. Mary Ann M. Dimabayao, OIC of the Public Affairs Office of the Mactan-Cebu International Airport; Nelson M. Judaya, regional marketing director of Jollibee Foods Corp.; and Rex Paolo C.
