Organizational Management

The attainment of all the city government’s projects, plans, and programs depends entirely on the ability and capability of its human resource to implement such endeavor. It is imperative that the government’s human resource is well-equipped in terms of education, skills, and training in order to keep up with the arduous and changing demands of the government’s present and future tasks. Personnel enhancement is undertaken regularly through local and foreign scholarships, seminars, workshops, trainings, and consultations. Office reports and documents are simplified  and computerization of all transactions is implemented.

The Local Productivity and Performance Measurement System and the Performance Evaluation System is strictly implemented in order to monitor the performance of the government’s personnel.
