CSC urges good working
condition for employees
BY JUDY F. PARTLOW

The Negros Oriental Civil Service Commission is urging local government units and agencies to provide healthy working conditions for their employees to improve public service performance.

CSC provincial chief Merlinda Quillano said the lack of adequate resources, equipment and logistics support are usual complaints in government offices and LGUs that are overlooked or ignored by their superiors. She added that even the absence of air-conditioning or proper ventilation in an office is ground for a complaint.

Quillano said these problems should not be ignored, as government agencies and offices are required to have a grievance committee to hear the complaints of employees, like requests for reassignment, or transfer from one office to another, and the like.
