The Civil Service Commission (CSC) encourages all heads of government entities, as well as LGUs, to lead their staff in the “Brigada Ahensiya”, an annual clean-up program. The program was launched this May on the principle that a clean, orderly and beautiful work environment enhances efficiency and client satisfaction.
Under the program, each agency and LGU will choose one to three days in May 2009 for its Brigada Ahensiya, to be repeated every year, involving clean-up, repair, repainting and refurbishing of their respective workplaces. Staff can also adhere to the Five S’s – Sort, Systematize, Sweep, Standardize and Sustain.
Other activities that could be also considered are carpentry repairs, repainting and refurbishing of facilities as well as planting and landscaping. (PIA)
