Lessons Learned
There has been a blur on the job descriptions, and duties and functions of personnel in our
institution. We have on paper, a long list duties and functions, of what is expected to us. But
there is no program to measure our compliance to these required activities. The only concrete
measure that we currently employ, is our attendance everyday and on institutional activities and
the evaluation conducted to us by the students and by our program coordinator or department
dean. Yes, we are presented numbers for our tardiness or evaluation grades but there is really
no means for us to realize and recognize our improvement or lack thereof.
A human capital management program can be beneficial to any institution like ours. This
will be a helpful tool in the recruitment process because competence and skills of applicants may
be readily measured. A scorecard of competencies and skills will also be advantageous in the

evaluation process. With competency measurement on evaluation ratings, strengths and

weaknesses are easily identified. Gaps on required competencies could be set as goals to be
achieved. This would also be diverted as a motivation tactic by setting the direction towards an
individuals competency and skills development.
Through this program, accountabilities are also identified, which is still lacking in our
current state.

There are no apparent accountabilities to each role, but there are a lot of

expectations. There lies the difficulty because these leads to assumptions, hence confusion on
the personnel part, of what is really encompassed by the role the he plays in the organization
The process though is not easy, but will merit as a best practice and a competitive
advantage for the institution when accomplished.

The realization is that, measurement is

necessary for improvement and that we cannot improve what we cannot measure.
