ECHO/RE-ECHO ON RECRUITMENT, REWARDS, RECOGNITION AND

RETENTION STRATEGIES AND TECHNIQUES (4RS OF HR),

GUIDELINES ON TRAINING RESULTS MONITORING & EVALUATION
AND CESPES UPDATES

INTRODUCTION
Human resource management has evolved over the years. Keeping
up with big ideas like globalization and business process outsourcing,
ways of managing people had to keep up to meet the requirements of
more competitive and consequently more demanding organizations. But
no matter what HR has been through or has undergone, human resource,
the lifeblood of an organization, remains in any management equation.
With the ratplan now in its full swing mode, HRs role is important
because we will deal with interventions that will prepare our work force for
the eventual changes in structure, organization and functions under the
ratplan. It is a must therefore, to understand the policy shifts that will
shape the new organization.
As we transform HR from its traditional role in the organization to
being a strategic partner in management, we need to gain a common
understanding of the policy shifts before we become ready for the
development of our strategies. Strategic human resource development
and management has been applied to areas as productivity and quality,
growth and expansion, organizational building and technology.
More than anything else, there are reasons behind our ratplan
efforts to make our organization relevant in the changing landscape of
ENR management and to realign our resources for higher efficiency.

RATIONALE
In line with HRDs objective to operationalize development needs of its
manpower to holistically integrate this need to Regional operations by improving
performance and increasing productivity while at the same time maximizing the
return on investment of RO 5, a three (3) day, reorientation in Revisiting the
4Rs of HR and Course on Results Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) of Learning
Programs shall be conducted.
With the best HR practices in place and a strengthened and rationalized
HR structure, HRD should be strategic in anticipating future business scenarios
and must not only be concerned with the training and development as a tool to
maximize the productivity of HR. Management must continuously upgrade its
resources, especially its core competencies, organizational and operational
capabilities since they determine competitive advantage.

How to strategically operationalize these needs is to source the existing

strengths from within the organization, since the real challenge to management
is how to improve the productive contribution of people and how successful we
become internationally. This will be our basis for identifying specific HR
interventions our employees will need to be able to perform their new functions
effectively under the ratplan.

Generally this orientation/reorientation aims to orient AOs/HRMOs and
those who are tasked with administrative, personnel and HR related concerns on
