Anchored on DepEd Order No. 2, s.2015, DM-OUHROD-2024-0586, and Regional Order No. 05, s. 2019, titled Policy on Results-Based Management System of DepEd Caraga, the activity reinforced the Regional Office’s commitment to strengthening the Results-Based Performance Management System (RPMS).

Recognizing that a skilled workforce is the lifeblood of every organization, the initiative emphasized effective communication between top management and personnel, ensuring that individual performance aligns with organizational objectives. The session focused on Phase I: Performance Planning and Commitment—where raters and ratees collaboratively discuss and agree on Key Result Areas (KRAs), organizational outcome attribution, objectives, timelines, weight allocation, performance targets, measures, rating scales, and verification methods.

The activity also highlighted the four phases of RPMS implementation: (1) Performance Planning and Commitment, (2) Performance Monitoring and Coaching, (3) Performance Review and Evaluation, and (4) Performance Rewarding and Development Planning.

Moreover, the Regional Office reaffirmed its commitment to inclusivity and gender responsiveness by ensuring that gender perspectives are integrated into the design, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation of performance management processes. The activity upheld equitable access and opportunities for all personnel, regardless of sex, gender, age, civil status, physical attributes, religion, belief, race, socio-economic status, political affiliation, or other legally protected characteristics.

Through this initiative, DepEd Caraga continues to drive excellence and accountability in public service, fostering a culture of performance, transparency, and inclusivity across the Region.
