DILIMAN, Quezon City—An audit team from the Civil Service Commission in the National Capital Region (CSC NCR) visited the Agricultural Training Institute (ATI) Central Office for the Program to Institutionalize Meritocracy and Excellence in Human Resource Management (PRIME-HRM) on-site assessment.

The three-day activity intends to validate the evidence requirements of the ATI's competencies, and four core HRM systems, namely, Recruitment, Selection, and Placement; Performance Management; Learning and Development; and Rewards and Recognition. The assessment also included an interview with ATI Deputy Director Alfredo Aton and selected ATI personnel.

PRIME-HRM is a program of the CSC that aims to elevate the HRM of an agency to a level of excellence through assessment, assistance, and awarding using global HR standards. The program covers all government offices including national government agencies, local government units, government-owned or controlled corporations, state universities and colleges, as well as regional offices of agencies with HRM offices/units.

The CSC audit team, led by Senior Human Resource Specialist Andres Fombuena, Jr., is working closely with ATI HRM OIC Evelyn Soriano for the on-site assessment process.
