a. Personnel Administration
One of the practices being done here is to train the teachers most e
specially the new teachers or developing training protocols. It is al
so usually being charged in keeping the files of the employees. W
orkers in personnel administration will also evaluate the employee
s as well as counsel them. Any employees who have questions or
complaints about their contract, benefits, salary or work environm
ent often reach out to the personnel administration teacher for dire
ction. This position must be filled by a friendly, empathetic indivi
dual.

5. b. Personnel Recruitment and Selection
The teachers are not the one who will recruit or select
employees. Under Personnel Recruitment, Deped Ilocos Sur will
post on their page about the vacancy of Teacher I position in
that respected school. The only role of the teachers here is to
check the papers of the applicants headed by the committees
of the organization. Then the school will send the checked

professionals in our society but they still do have benefits and

Teachers create a comfortable environment. Another
is conducting regular meetings to all teachers to tell
their problems or like open forum. Teachers also
need to respect the opinions of their co-workers.
Teachers also have this what we called sensitivity
training wherein all teachers will tell what they feel
to each other like for instance, if they have
misunderstandings in the workplace. In this training,
teachers should be open minded and open for
criticism.

professional knowledge and skills. They also have webinars about the use of
ICT in teaching a lesson. Another is Division Retooling of Teachers on the

10. g. Labor Relations
Teachers render services even beyond office hours
voluntarily. Even on Saturday and Sunday if they require the teachers to
go to school, they need to sacrifice without an additional pay. For the
non-teaching staff, there is a monetary incentive. It is also their
responsibility to attend seminars even beyond their office hours. Since
the DepEd is already implementing the Early Enrolment of the learners
for the school year 2021-2022, the teachers nedd to go on Saturdays in

ensure safety when there is an
emergency. They allot a budget on this like the
basic medicines and the emergency kits. They also
have a school clinic before but it is still under
renovation. Annually, they are required to have an
over-all check-up because as a teacher, it is
important to be healthy always.

12. Strategies for Increasing Personnel Effectiveness and Efficiency
We are now on new normal set-up of education. Teachers must attend seminars
or webinars to come up with ideas on how to be an effective and efficient teacher at this time of
modular and online learning set-up. Teachers should also set expectations in order to have an
improvement in their abilities. We need also an effective communication because we all know that,
sharing our knowledge to others is really needed. Effective Communication can build a healthy
relationship among others.
Teachers also help each other. They learn from superiors, peers and even people that are lower down
on the career ladder than them. And according to them, what they are always doing is to always be
prepared to cooperate. Some people love working in a team and others don’t, however, everyone
should strive to be a team player. Be nice and civil to the people you work with, communicate
efficiently and always strive to be supportive. The most successful people are team builders.
