This document is divided into two parts: the standards, and process and procedures for
Learning and Development (L&D).

Part I provides the L&D Philosophy, Curriculum Framework and minimum standards in the
implementation of L&D interventions and initiatives for the officials and employees in the CSC. It
articulates the guiding principles of CSC in developing its people to ensure that all L&D
interventions contribute meaningfully to the efficient, effective and ethical achievement of CSCs
strategic objectives and goals pursuant to its mandates under the Constitution and the
Administrative Code of 1987, as implemented though the Integrated Results-Based
Performance Management System, Performance Governance System (PGS) and the Strategic
Performance Management System (SPMS).

Part II documents the step-by-step process and procedures that will guide L&D implementers in
the development, provision, coordination, delivery and evaluation of L&D activities of CSC
officials and employees. It aims to serve as a guide in systematically translating CSCs strategic
objectives for human resource development (HRD) into operational plans, such that CSC will be
able to:

Identify priority competency development targets/needs of officials and employees;

Provide and plot L&D interventions that are appropriate to bridge the gaps, enhance
competencies, improve job performance, increase productivity and develop the CSC
workforce to manage efficiently and competently the changes and challenges in the CSC;
Ensure that the Office for Human Resource Management and Development (OHRMD)and
the Human Resource Division (HRD) of the Civil Service Regional Offices (CSROs) follow a
process that will align individual development goals to the goals of the CSC; and
Give the management, supervisors and individuals the opportunity to keep track of the plans
to develop and maintain the competencies of CSC workforce.

COVERAGE

The standards, process and procedures intend to cover the following:

1. All L&D programs for CSC officials and employees delivered, arranged, purchased and/or
outsourced by the OHRMD, HRD of the CSROs, the Civil Service Institute (CSI) and other
Central Office units of the CSC; and
2. All phases of the L&D process adopted by the CSC, which begins from the competency-
based learning needs assessment, design, delivery to evaluation.

Chapter 1
CSCs Learning and Developm ent Philosophy

The CSC adheres to the overall L&D philosophy -- Shaping the Servant-Hero towards
Public Service Excellence. The goal is to align all L&D interventions to CSCs mission and
strategic objectives as it strives to become Asias Leading Center of Excellence for Strategic
Human Resource and Organizational Development by 2030.

The CSC L&D philosophy affirms the organizations overall focus on creating an excellent and
high-performing organization through its people supporting the following strategic objectives in
the CSC Balance Scorecard:

High Performing, Competent, and Credible Civil Servants;

Provide Excellent HR Processes;
Enhance the Competency of our Workforce; and
Cultivate Partnerships with Local and International Institutions.

Emphasizing that women and men in the organization matter, the CSCs aim is always to create
significant changes in the workplace through programs that help CSC officials and employees:

Strengthen mission-critical competencies particularly those of strategic groups such as the

executives/managers, supervisors and HR practitioners;

Develop the right capabilities, perspectives and mindset required to contribute meaningfully
to the efficient, effective and ethical achievement of CSCs strategic priorities and to work
harmoniously with others and with respect for women and mens rights; and

Improve their self-knowledge and human potentials and strengthen their employability.

L&D interventions and initiatives in the CSC shall be hinged on the following overall principles:

1. Every CSC official and employee is an important resource valued by the organization.
The CSC gives priority and invests on L&D of every official and employee.

2. L&D interventions for CSC officials and employees shall be purposive and aligned
with the CSC strategic objectives and goals. L&D is a means to upgrade the capability
and expertise of CSC to address and respond to the multi-faceted HRD/HRM/OD needs of

PAGE 2 OF 43
 the civil service. L&D shall be based on development needs as determined by competency
assessment and performance assessment exercises. L&D shall likewise consider the
differentiated needs of women and men in the organization to ensure equitable access to
L&D interventions.

3. L&D shall focus on the development, improvement or enhancement of competencies

required by the current or future position/job of the official/employee.

4. L&D is a shared responsibility of the management, supervisors and the employees.

While CSC provides the nurturing and enabling environment by opening up opportunities,
among others, employees and their respective supervisors have an equal responsibility to
plan and manage their development and career by determining, seeking and seizing
available opportunities.

5. CSC regards investment for learning and development as equally important as

investments in researches, information technology (IT), purchase of equipment and
product development. Capacity development of CSC officials and employees is given equal,
if not a paramount importance in terms of allocating resources. Partnership with other
institutions shall be explored to supplement existing resources for L&D.

6. L&D shall be designed to increase the portability of skills of employees. This, therefore,
requires an approach or various approaches that will allow Heads of Offices and/or
supervisors to easily recognize skills which may be transferable between jobs and/or
assignments.

7. Continuing upgrading of competencies is essential to the maintenance of a corps of

professional officials and employees of the Commission. It aims to develop a competent,
credible, and high performing CSC workforce. Continuing competence is maintained and
enhanced through lifelong learning and integration of learning into every facet of a
Commission official or employees working life.

8. L&D shall drive performance management. It shall integrate recognition and rewards
mechanism as a strategy to ensure learning application in everyday work settings.

Curriculum Fram ew ork

The establishment of the CSC Competency Model and Framework determined the position
profile of CSC. This provides the basis for the L&D interventions appropriate to levels of
positions or job families, as follows:

Leadership Competencies
Executive Level

Organizational Competencies
Core Competencies
Supervisor A

Technical Competencies
Supervisor B

Second Level
Non-Supervisors

First Level
Non-Supervisors

Building-Block Programs

Given the above curriculum framework,
the CSC adopts a building-block approach
to the delivery of its L&D programs. Basic
courses are set to provide a foundation for
future interventions during the employees
life cycle in the organization. This building-
block approach addresses not only the
current learning needs but also the career
development of employees.

Standards

Section 1 Basis of Learning and Development Interventions

a. L&D needs identification and analysis shall be based on alignment between CSCs strategic
direction with employee performance and competency gaps and career growth.

b. The CSCs Three-Year L&D Plan shall be prepared by the OHRMD. Each CSC Office shall
also prepare its own L&D Plan with detailed strategies and budget.

c. The Annual L&D Plan shall be prepared prior to the start of the year as a result of the
analysis of the competency gap assessment and the consolidated Individual Development
Plans (IDPs) (See Annex B for a copy of an IDP Form). As basis for OHRMD consolidation
of the Commissions L&D and monitoring, the Heads of Offices shall submit their respective
Annual L&D Plan and the programs to be conducted for other CSC employees to OHRMD
every September 15th of each year.

d. The L&D interventions identified in the Annual L&D Plan shall take into consideration the
workforce development needs of the CSC, the public sector and the Philippine economy.
Moreover, all L&D implementers shall establish the basis of the conduct of the programs
primarily in connection with the competency gap assessment results generated.

e. L&D hours per employee per year shall be based on the number of hours as indicated in the
IDP.

Section 2 Development and Approval of Learning and Development Interventions

a. L&D programs that are participated by cross-section of the CSC shall require Commission
Proper approval based on the review and recommendation of OHRMD. For example:
L&D programs of the OHRMD and CSI which shall target participation of CSC Offices
nationwide;
Those run by CO units targeting technical competencies that are within their own areas
of expertise and shall be participated by their own employees and those from other
Offices of the CSC;
Those programs whose funding shall be charged outside an Offices MOOE or will
require Commission Proper approval for its use, e.g., CO Training Fund, and
Other analogous cases.

b. The Heads of Offices shall review and approve the IDPs of all the employees of their
respective Offices. Prior to such approval, they shall check the appropriateness, relevance,
timeliness, cost-efficiency and effectiveness of the L&D interventions indicated in the IDPs.
The Commission Proper through the OHRMD may issue further guidelines to assist the
Heads of Offices with the approval process and in consolidating the IDPs into an Office L&D
Plan.

PAGE 7 OF 43
c. The OHRMD, HRD of CSROs and other Commission L&D implementers may consult task
experts who can communicate learning needs of officials and employees of the CSC. In
developing and determining the learning objectives during the instructional design stage, the
task experts should be assisted by L&D experts and subject matter experts. Moreover,
program evaluation shall be considered in the instructional design to ensure better
assessment of program effectiveness.

Section 3 Qualifications and Selection of Learners

a. As a general rule, all L&D interventions shall target intended learners based on the IDP of
officials and employees. However, these interventions cannot be left to the discretion of
individual employees especially when the L&D intervention has been earlier established.
Thus, some programs may pre-identify the actual learners or participants.

b. Registration for other programs shall be on a first-come-first served basis. The program
shall close the registration once the target number of participants is reached or five (5)
working days before the actual schedule of the program, whichever comes first. Thereafter,
a confirmation shall be sent to the learners or participants.

c. All employees whose competency assessment indicates not meeting the proficiency level
for mission-critical competencies (MCCs) and other competencies required of their position
shall also be prioritized in development interventions. The L&D implementers may determine
relevant qualifications and criteria in so far as they relate to the objectives of the L&D.

d. Profile of participants shall be prepared and provided by the concerned staff of the L&D
implementer to the learning service provider within one (1) week before the conduct of the
program. The profile shall include useful information such as, but not limited to, name,
nickname, sex, age, position, Division/Office, number of years in the Commission,
educational background, nature of work and similar programs attended. Persons or Groups
with Special Needs may be identified, only when necessary to the program as well as when
the relevant information will ensure access to L&D interventions and full learning opportunity.

Section 4 Cancellation, Rescheduling and Substitution

a. Rescheduling or cancellation of confirmed participants may be made only through notice to

the L&D implementer by the Head of Office of the employees concerned a month before the
scheduled program. Otherwise, the slot shall be forfeited and the fee shall be charged
against the MOOE of the last-minute canceling participants Office. The Head of the L&D
implementer shall be informed of the last-minute cancellation without substitution and may
require the canceling participants Office to explain the reasons in writing. This information
shall be included in the L&D documentation report.

PAGE 8 OF 43
b. Cancellation of the names of pre-targeted participants shall give the concerned Head of
Office, supervisors and employees the responsibility of ensuring that the indicated L&D
intervention in the IDP shall still be pursued. They have the option of attending equivalent
programs outside of CSC, albeit, at own expense of the canceling participants or whoever
might have caused the cancellation.

c. Substitution of participants may be allowed after a confirmation has been made only when
the program design allows for replacement or substitution and an advice has been properly
and timely made.

d. In cases where replacements or substitutes may be allowed, the names of the employees
shall be forwarded to the L&D implementer at least three (3) days before the date of the
activity.

e. Programs shall be cancelled or rescheduled due to any of the following circumstances:

Force majeure; or
Only half of the targeted number of participants have confirmed one month before the
scheduled date of the program.

Section 5 Equity and Access to Learning and Development Interventions

a. The Commission is an equal opportunity employer. No one shall be discriminated from

participating in and accessing L&D interventions of CSC on the basis of age, sex, gender,
gender identity, sexual orientation, ethnicity, political affiliation, religion, economic and social
status, and physical disability.

b. Both women and men shall be equally encouraged and given opportunity to give their views
and provide inputs to the discussion and other activities in any L&D intervention.

c. The conduct of L&D programs shall ensure equal, adequate and safe participation of women
and men, and those Groups with Special Needs taking into consideration the following:
Developmental needs of the individual as the basis for provision of and access to L&D;
Appropriateness of logistical arrangements such as training schedule, venue, safe
transportation and lodging, facilities and meals; and
Use of gender-fair and bias-free language, examples and illustrations in all learning
materials.

d. The L&D implementers shall ensure gender balance1 and equity among participants and
learners, as far as practicable.

1
Gender balance intends to maximize the participation of both women and men in training programs and other L&D
interventions for the following reasons: (a) gender issues and realities of work-life will have a greater chance of being
reflected accurately when both women and men have an equal voice and participation in the programs; and (b)
collective understanding and appreciation of the subject matter of every L&D intervention will be enriched when both
voices are heard. It must be emphasized, though, that participation of women and men is still based on an individuals
learning need.

PAGE 9 OF 43
Section 6 Certification of Completion

a. A Certificate of Completion shall be awarded to a participant or learner who has attended

and participated in at least 90% of the session hours and submitted the required output/s.

b. The L&D implementer shall ensure an accurate recording of attendance and list of submitted
outputs as certified by the concerned training staff.

c. Development interventions outside of a formal training may be declared as satisfying the

training requirement under the QS Manual by the Commission through the recommendation
of OHRMD.

d. All certificates of completion issued by other CO offices or units in the Regions shall be
attested by the Head of OHRMD for CO and Division Chief of HRD for ROs, or their
authorized signatories, in their absence.

Section 7 Learning Application

The official or employee shall submit to the Head of Office a Learning Application Plan (LAP)
within three (3) days after attending an L&D intervention. Academic scholars, however, shall
submit a Re-entry Action Plan (REAP), pursuant to existing guidelines on scholarships.
Annexes C and D contain a sample LAP and REAP, respectively.

Section 8 Support Requirements

a. The CSC Annual Investment Plan for L&D interventions that shall be approved by the
Commission Proper should be set according to CSCs strategic mandate.

b. The quality, effectiveness, efficiency and costs of L&D interventions shall be important
considerations in continuing the implementation of programs. Hence, the Commission shall
allocate resources for approved L&D interventions. However, for those that will impose costs
on the participating Offices, the fee shall be charged against the concerned Office of the
participant.

Section 9 Responsibilities

a. The implementation of the Competency-Based L&D Management System is a shared

responsibility of the management, Heads of Offices/supervisors, OHRMD, HRD of CSROs,
L&D implementers Personnel Development Committee (PDC) and the individual employee.

b. At the start of every quarter, a meeting of L&D implementers who submitted to OHRMD their
proposed L&D programs shall be convened to ensure synchronicity of various interventions

undertaken, among others:
Turn-off electrical appliances, equipment, gadgets and paraphernalia when not needed,
particularly, for long period of time;
Make use of reusable bag as L&D kit; and
Reproduce learning materials only when they are determined necessary and useful, but,
possibly recycled papers. As an alternative to hard copy reproduction of materials
especially voluminous handouts, presentations, documents and reference materials, an
e-copy (through CDs and thumb drives) may be resorted to.

b. Healthy Environment. This would refer to creating an environment where participants to

the L&D programs are not only intellectually but also physically and emotionally nourished.
Hence, L&D implementers shall consider the following:
MC 8, s. 2011 (Reiteration of the Physical Fitness Program or the Great Filipino
Workout);

development environment focused on:
fostering positive relationship among learners, trainers and HRD staff by
encouraging participation and active involvement during training and other
development interventions. CSC shall not tolerate commission of sexual harassment,
bullying and intimidation. If such incident occurs, a report shall be made immediately by
the concerned training staff to the Head of the L&D implementer who shall then take the
necessary and appropriate action within 24 hours from receipt of the report or
information; and
protection from hazards and promotion of sustainable work environment. This
includes availability of safety regulations at the workplace or L&D venue, provision of

Chapter 1
Learning N eeds Assessm ent

Learning Needs Assessment is the process of determining the areas for development of an
individual based on the results of the competency assessment to bridge the identified gaps.

Section 1 Conduct of Competency Assessment

The first step is the conduct of competency assessment. Tools used are the self and
supervisors rating forms and the Competency Assessment Scoring Template. The latter is an
MS Excel scoring format used in the survey to determine the Person Profile. Each position
cluster uses different scoring template. A similar online assessment tool may also be used for
the purpose.

The Competency Level Assessment determines the proficiency level of the officials and
employees of CSC on the competencies required for their positions: core, organizational and
leadership. As such, an employee is assessed whether he/she exceeds, meets or does not
meet the required proficiency level especially the Mission-Critical Competency.

Exempted to be assessed are the following:

a) Chairperson;
b) Commissioners;
c) Newly hired employees who are less than three (3) months in the service; and
d) Those who are soon to retire from the service within the next six (6) months.

The detailed procedure for the conduct of competency assessment is found in Annex G.

Section 2 Conduct of Learning Needs Assessment

After conducting the Competency Assessment and after consolidating the results, the HRD of
ROs and L&D specialists of OHRMD shall make a summary report and submit it to OHRMD
together with a copy of the supervisors rating not later than 15 days after the assessment. For
online competency assessment, the OHRMD shall generate the results and provide each Office
with a copy.

The OHRMDs consolidated competency assessment results shall be reviewed to determine the
areas of development for various groups of positions in the CSC. It shall likewise determine the
gap per competency to determine area of focus of L&D interventions.

PAGE 16 OF 43
The Competency Assessment results shall be one of the references in the crafting of the IDP.
Supervisors shall not rely solely on the assessment results. Their observations and objective
assessment of their subordinates performance results as well as the individual preference for
career growth play a vital role in coming up with quality IDP.

Section 3 Preparing an Individual Development Plan

After receipt of competency assessment results, analysis shall look into the top gaps or
weaknesses among the competencies assessed for an individual, which will then be the focus
for development, improvement or enhancement as indicated in the IDP.

It is also important to check the purpose/s in accomplishing the IDP so that the supervisor will
be able to focus on the appropriate learning interventions that needs to be undertaken.

The consolidated IDPs of each Office as well as the Competency Assessment Results will form
part of the Learning Needs Analysis for the entire Commission.

A copy of Pointers in accomplishing the IDP is found in Annex H.

PAGE 17 OF 43
 Chapter 2
Learning Design and Developm ent

In developing learning design, there is a need to prioritize the identified Unmet Mission Critical
Competencies to ensure that CSC Workforce are fully equipped with the required competencies
to realize the Vision of the CSC of becoming Asias leading center of excellence in Human
Resource and Organizational Development by 2030. Should there be competency gaps; L&D
priorities will be developed to address these gaps.

The CSC Strategy Map ensures that the attainment of the CSC strategic objectives to enhance
the competency of the CSC Workforce is aligned with the vision. This is also in consonance with
the CSCs Reform Agenda (2010-2030) of transforming the CSC into a client-focused
organization, among others.

Since the inception of the Performance Governance System in 2010, the CSC has been able to
climb the ladder of performance from the Initiation Stage (Formulation of Strategy Map and
Governance Scorecard) in 2010 to fully compliant (Compliance Stage) in 2011, being proficient
(Proficiency Stage) in 2013, and institutionalized (Institutionalization Stage) starting 2014.
To support CSCs vision, human resource policies and programs should be aligned to its
internal plans and budgeting so that all are geared towards the realization of its HR strategy and
roadmap.

Section 1 Identifying Competency-Based Learning and Development Interventions

In identifying the competency-based L&D interventions for CSC officials and employees, the
same shall be aligned with the CSCs strategic objectives and goals. As earlier discussed, it
shall be based on development needs as determined by competency assessment and
performance assessment exercises.

For example, as indicated in the CSC Enterprise Scorecard, the following are the competency
targets for the year 2013-2015:

1. 70% of CSC workforce meeting the mission-critical competencies (MCC) by 2013; and

2. 80% by 2014; and 85 % by end of 2015.

PAGE 18 OF 43
The MCCs for categories of positions are as follows:

No. of Mission-
Category of Position Critical Mission-Critical Competencies
Competencies

Executive/Managerial 5 Core:
* Exemplifying Integrity
* Delivering Service Excellence
* Solving Problems and Making
Decisions
Leadership:
* Partnering and Networking
* Leading Change

Supervisor A - Div. Chief 5 3 Core plus:

* Managing Performance
* Thinking Strategically

Supervisor B - Asst. Div. 4 3 Core plus:

Chief * Thinking Strategically

2nd Level 6 3 Core plus:

Non- Supervisory 3 Organizational:
and * Demonstrating Personal
1st Level Effectiveness
Non-Supervisory * Championing and
Applying Innovation
* Planning and Delivering

It is imperative to note that MCC varies from one cluster position to another but the Core MCCs
are constant to all positions. It is also assumed that as the individual employees step up the
ladder of promotion specifically, supervisory positions and above, they already possess the
organizational competencies.

Given the competency assessment results and the criticality of addressing the gaps, the
following criteria may be used in determining L&D priorities:
Seriousness of the gaps;
Urgency; and
Growth potential.

PAGE 19 OF 43
The report below describes the recent actual CSC experience in determining the L&D priorities:

CSC Experience

In 2013 the OHRMD conducted the Commission-wide Competency Assessment. The assessment
actually covered 1,130 CSC personnel.

There were 762 personnel corresponding to 65.86% who meet the required competencies of their
positions. Breakdown is as follows: 176 or 51.16% of the total CO personnel; and 586 or 72.08% of the
total RO personnel.

On meeting the Mission-Critical Competencies for the Positions, there were 884 personnel corresponding
to 76.40% who meet the mission-critical competencies of their positions, well above the target of 70% for
2013 in the CSC Refreshed Scorecard. Breakdown is as follows: 226 or 65.69% of personnel in the
Central Office; and 658 or 80% of the CSC RO personnel.

Unmet Competencies

There are 176 assessed personnel who failed to meet all the required competencies. The number of
unmet competencies ranges from 1 to 9 or all of the required competencies. This represents about
15.58% of the assessed personnel and 15.21% of the target personnel complement.

The three most unmet competencies are as follows:

Most Unmet Competencies

Total No. Exceeding Meeting Failing to Meet
Competency
Assessed No. % No. % No. %
Planning and 995 581 58.40% 222 22.30% 192 19.30%
Delivering
Writing Effectively 853 519 60.98% 215 25.03% 119 13.98%
Solving Problems 1130 867 76.73% 184 16.28% 80 7.08%
and Making
Decisions

Solving Problems and Making Decisions is a core competency and a mission critical competency required
for all positions. Planning and Delivering is an organizational competency, and a mission-critical
competency for the first and second level positions.

Proposed Competency-Based L&D Interventions

With the abovementioned Unmet Competencies plus the Existing Mission Critical Competency the
Commission through the Philippine Australia Human Resource and Organisational Development Facility
developed the following six (6) Priority L&D Programs:

1. IPAD: Individual Planning and Delivery Seminar Workshop

2. Positive Results Through Effective Problem Solving and Decision Making
3. Honing Effective and Responsive Officers Towards Excellent Service (HEROES)
4. Speaking Effectively
5. Writing Effectively
6. Advancing Innovation in the Workplace

PAGE 20 OF 43
This priority Competency-Based Learning and Development are geared towards meeting specific
competencies. Other developmental activities vital to competency building include the following:

a) Coaching on the job from <supervisor/senior colleague>

b) Knowledge sharing and learning session on <topic>
c) Shadowing under the stewardship of <person>
d) Self-study on <topic>
e) Taking evening or weekend courses on <topic>
f) Local or Foreign Scholarship related to work
g) Watching educational or training videotapes on <topic>
h) Reading books and other publications or journals on <topic>
i) Working on PC tutorials or computer assisted training program or webinar on <topic>
j) Special work project on <topic>
k) Added responsibilities on <technical competency or work assignment>
l) Cross-Program, Rotational assignment or Temporary assignment to <function>
m) Task Force or Committee assignment on <area>

Section 2 Designing an Evaluation Plan for the Interventions

To ensure the effectiveness of an L&D and to maximize learning by the trainees, an evaluation
of the said activity shall be undertaken after its conduct. Evaluation should likewise be part of
the program design preparation.

The L&D documentation report, which includes the evaluation, shall be submitted to the Head of
Office of an L&D implementer and approved by the latter within 30 days from the conduct of the
last L&D activity. The following shall be followed:

1. Evaluation shall always be built into all in-house run or coordinated by L&D implementers
and those and external training programs outsourced to external learning service providers
using the Kirkpatrick model2. An evaluation plan shall be prepared. A form for this purpose
is attached as Annex I.

2. At the very least, Level 2 or Learning evaluation shall be part of the training responsibility of
implementers. An Evaluation Form/Reaction Sheet and a LAP requirement shall always be
integrated in every L&D design for approval by either the Head of Office or the Commission,
as the case may be. The L&D implementers shall devise tools such as, but not limited to,
pre- and post-tests, pre and post surveys, interview, observation, or simulations within the
program, right after or two (2) to three (3) weeks after the program.

2
Donald Kirkpatrick developed an evaluation model that has been used since the late 1950s. His model
includes four (4) levels or steps of outcome evaluation. Recently developed is the fifth level or step:
Level 1 EvaluationReaction
Level 2 EvaluationLearning
Level 3 EvaluationBehavior
Level 4 EvaluationResults
Level 5 EvaluationReturn of Expectation

PAGE 21 OF 43
3. For Behavioral or Application Level or Level 3 evaluation, the superior or immediate
supervisor of the official or employee shall be asked by OHRMD/HRD/other CSC Office in
charge of L&D regarding the extent of improvement in job as a result of the L&D four (4) to
six (6) months after the intervention. Other interviewees may also be considered as long as
they have actual knowledge of how the employee performs the tasks or delivers services.
Aside from interview, other methods such as interview, observation, document review,
simulations and tracking charts may be used. The LAP prepared by the learner and
submitted to the Head of Office within three (3) working days upon return to the workplace,
shall be used as basis for evaluation.

4. The instructional design including the training activity plan and learning materials for
programs that are regularly conducted for CSC officials and employees shall be reviewed
every year as a result of the evaluation process. The training implementers are, therefore,
not precluded from making some adjustments to the instructional design, training activity
plan and learning materials when necessary.

Section 1 Communicating Learning and Development Plan

A communication plan outlines who to communicate with, about what and how it is going to be
done.

The most important thing to remember is that no matter what approach to take, there should
always be three things in mind: what, who and how.

Below is an example of an L&D Plan communication table.

Section 2 Implementing the Plan

An L&D Implementation Matrix is a record containing various information on how the L&D
Plan will be implemented. On the other hand, tasks for implementing a specific L&D
intervention are identified through partnership based on Terms of Reference, Agreement or
Letter of Conform, distribution of load among OHRMD/HRD/L&D implementing Offices staff
and their levels of position according to the Job Description. To guide the person/s-in-charge of
a specific L&D intervention, Annex J provides an L&D Management Checklist.

PAGE 23 OF 43
 Chapter 4
M onitoring and Evaluation

Any plan should be monitored and evaluated. To be effective, the CSC L&D Plan
implementation will be monitored and evaluated so as to ensure that:

1. The effectiveness of the plan is assessed by verifying the critical process such as the
profiling, competency assessment etc.;

2. Properly identify the correct L&D interventions to the workforce;

3. Ensure that L&D interventions be implemented;

4. Provide accurate percentage of accomplishment of the plan;

5. Assess the performance of the Office/Division who is in charge of the L&D Plan
implementation; and

6. Set future development on different workforce path.

The diagram below denotes that the L&D Plan is a process of interconnected HR system
geared towards organization and individual development. The breakthrough started with the
creation of the CSC competency table, from here there were identified competency gaps were
different HR interventions were developed to address these gaps.

It is important to come up with monitoring and evaluation mechanisms apart from the L&D
evaluation so as to assess the general progress of the CSC L&D plan as well as discover future
development for the organization, in general and employees, in particular.

The monitoring and evaluation process will ensure that the MCC of each employee will be
determinant of the realization of the CSC Vision and Mission and above all Public Service
Excellence

development and implementation which discovers or identifies the training gap in terms of
the knowledge, skills and attitudes of individuals to determine what is currently in place and
what is needed, now and in the future, of the organization.3 CBTNA shall also be adopted
as a source of basis for the development and provision of not only formal training but also
other L&D interventions.

3. External Training refers to a program conducted or implemented by learning service

providers other than the Commissions L&D implementers.

4. Groups with Special Needs include officials and employees who by the very nature of
their work or existing situation such as, but not limited to their health and physical condition,
(e.g., drivers, persons with disability, pregnant women, nursing or lactating women) have
needs that should be considered in the L&D implementation.

5. In-house Training refers to training conducted and/or arranged by the OHRMD or HRD
for Commission officials and employees.

7. Learning and Development (L&D) Implementer refers to the Commissions own

learning service providers which may be any of these units: OHRMD of the Central Office,
HRD of the Civil Service Regional Office, CSI or other CSC Central Office units that
implement L&D programs for Commission officials and employees.

8. Learning and Development (L&D) Expert refers to an individual within or outside of the
CSC who is proficient in the pedagogy of learning and whose expertise will be sought in the
design and development of effective L&D to include such areas as learner characteristics,
learning objectives, delivery methods, instructional strategies and materials.

9. Learning Materials are knowledge products or knowledge tools designed and utilized in
L&D programs to facilitate the learning process.

H O W TO CO N DU CT TH E CO M PETEN CY ASSESSM EN T (PAPER)

The following instructions to L&D specialists of the CO and ROs provide a guide in
conducting competency assessment:

1. In conducting the competency assessment, make sure the following are prepared: Office
Order, Venue, Time and Date, if possible, meals, and reproduce assessment forms
according to employee count.

2. During assessment proper, do or say:

a. To facilitate the distribution of forms, we will group you according to position levels
Group 1 1st Level
Group 2 2nd Level (Non-Supervisory)
Group 3 2nd Level (Supervisory)
Group 4 2nd Level (Exec/Managerial)

b. There will be two (2) types of survey:

Self-Assessment
Immediate Supervisors Assessment

c. You are given one (1) hour to accomplish the self-assessment form.

d. For the supervisors, you will be given a maximum of three (3) days to submit
subordinate assessment forms.

e. For any clarification, please raise your hand so we will approach and assist you.

3. On accomplishing the form do or say:

a. Read each sample behavior.

b. Assess and determine as honestly and accurately as you can whether or not you are
demonstrating the sample behavior, using the scale:

A I demonstrate the sample behavior consistently.

B - I demonstrate the sample behavior but not consistently.
C1 - I am not demonstrating the sample behavior. I need assistance to demonstrate
it consistently.

PAGE 36 OF 43
 C2 - I am not demonstrating the sample behavior. I need the opportunity to
demonstrate it.

c. Write the letter of the appropriate rating which indicates your assessment of your
demonstration of the sample behavior.

d. For the Supervisors:

After accomplishing your Self-Assessment Form, rate your subordinates.

Collect the Self-Assessment Forms accomplished by your subordinates.

Transfer the ratings of the subordinates in the Supervisors Assessment Form

particularly in the self-rating column.

Check for items where the self-assessment and the supervisor assessment differ.
Conduct dialogue with your subordinates on these items so that agreed ratings are
reached.

4. Ensure that the Agreed Rating Column in the Supervisor Assessment Forms is filled-in.

a. Conduct validation if:

There are items with no Agreed Rating. In this case, behavioral event interviews
have to be conducted by the L&D Representative to come-up with ONE rating
(equivalent of the Agreed Rating).

There are issues due to personnel action/movement such as: newly hired,
rotated and reassigned employees.

b. For new employees, supervisors may not be able to rate them especially if they are
barely few months old (less than six months) with the division, hence, behavioral
event interviews shall be conducted with the concerned employees.

c. For newly rotated/reassigned employees, their previous supervisors shall be the ones
to assess them.

d. Ensure that for employees with designations, they shall be assessed on their current
positions and not on their designated positions.

e. Employees retiring within the next six months shall no longer be covered in the
assessment.
