Launch of the GSIS Competency Assessment
The Enhanced GSIS Competency Framework (CF), approved under Board Resolution No. 177 dated 14 December 2021, was part of the Human Resources Office (HRO) strategic initiatives and performance scorecard last year. New sets of competencies and corresponding key actions have been identified after GSIS achieved the final average rating required by the Governance Commission for GOCCs (GCG), and in consideration of the emerging competencies of employees brought about by the current work environment.
For 2022, the GCG-approved performance measure is to: Establish Baseline Data on the Competency Level of the Organization.
In this regard, the HRO will conduct a baseline assessment to all GSIS officers and employees to assess their current competency vis-à-vis the new competency profile or requirement of their job (or role) based on the Enhanced GSIS CF. The assessment aims to identify strengths and growth areas of personnel; plan development strategies; and evaluate effectiveness and impact of development efforts.

The program aims to address our Core Competency on Building Organizational Talent with focus on team formation, team roles, team effectiveness and managing team conflicts.
