Leading Towards a Gender Responsive Workplace:

HR as Business Partners in Culture Change

PROGRAM RATIONALE

Presented by Ruth G. Jabines, MBA, DM-HRM

President, PAWD-HRP

Manager, Human Resource Department

Davao City Water District

The HR officers/personnel are the main partners and forerunners in cascading and implementing government mandates and requirements.

HR

As true business partners, HR practitioners should raise the bar and consider the strategic impacts of gender and development while keeping on and conforming with the

government standards.

Being Practitioners

Nowadays, HR professionals are no longer “administrative support staff”. The days of HR leaders being people persons with soft skills have long passed.

Every development plan or process has to be aligned with the core business strategy – this time, a gender responsive workplace and culture change.

HR Being Practitioners

The PAWD-HRP human resource conference will serve as a venue for us

HR practitioners in the water industry to exchange ideas and best practices. We share inputs and references in executing actions for improvement of our

organizational set-up

Our objective includes updating of recent issuances from the different government agencies governing the

operations of LWDs.

As local water districts, let us work hand in hand in undertaking necessary steps toward implementing

the government mandated HR systems.

Stronger policy directives and intensified advocacy on gender mainstreaming indeed have led to an increased demand for guidelines and

mentoring to assist government agencies in the tasks.

Key Topics

Towards Achieving a Gender – Responsive Workplace 1 We face different conflicts over water – access, food production, connection fees and environmental concerns. We have always noted through media and experience that effective, efficient, and equitable management of water resources is only achieved when both women and men are involved in consultation processes, headship, and in the management and implementation of water-related services.

This talk covers different actions and strategies promoting gender sensitive organizations.

More inputs to be discussed by our speaker from the Philippine Commission on Women.

Key Topics

The recent issuance of Circular No. 2014-001 dated March 18, 2014 of the Commission on Audit provides the Revised Guidelines in the

audit of Gender and Development (GAD) Funds and Activities in government agencies. This, along with the other COA issuances on

disallowance brought together government agencies to crave for further guidance and mentoring with regards to utilization of the

mandated 5% GAD budget.

Our speaker from the Commission on Audit will assist us in this concern and will provide us the details of

such issuances.
