Expanding Career Opportunities for Provincial Workers
BOHOL - The Provincial Government of Bohol (PGBh), under the leadership of Gov. Aris Aumentado, continues to strengthen employee development and career opportunities within the provincial government. During the September 4 episode of The Capitol Reports at the Ceremonial Hall, PHRMDO OIC Katrina Maria Retutal shared that more than 100 Job Order (JO) and Contract of Service (COS) workers have been given opportunities to become permanent or casual plantilla employees under the current administration for 2026. The initiative provides qualified workers with opportunities for more stable government employment while recognizing the contributions they have made to provincial offices.
Aligning Positions With Government Office Functions
The Provincial Human Resource Management and Development Office (PHRMDO) is also reviewing departmental organizational structures to ensure that positions are properly aligned with the functions and responsibilities of different provincial offices. The review is intended to identify workforce needs and create additional opportunities for qualified personnel whose skills and experience match available positions. By strengthening organizational structures and improving the alignment of employees with appropriate roles, the provincial government aims to build a more efficient workforce capable of delivering quality public services to Boholanos.
Recognizing Employees and Building Workforce Competencies
Meanwhile, PHRMDO Human Resource Development Section Division Head Lloyd Peter Estomata highlighted the province’s employee recognition initiatives and annual capacity development trainings. These programs are designed to recognize personnel for their contributions while providing opportunities to improve their knowledge, skills, and professional competencies. Together, the career development, recognition, and training initiatives support the Capitol’s Strategic Change Agenda, particularly its focus on Governance and Service Delivery Excellence. By investing in a capable, motivated, and performance-driven workforce, the provincial government continues to strengthen the people behind the delivery of essential services across Bohol.
