Empowered Field Operations Enhance Transparency
Empowered field operations play a vital role in maintaining transparency, boosting accountability, and delivering efficient services for Filipino workers nationwide, local leaders noted. The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) highlighted that the strength of its regional offices is key to meeting workers’ needs effectively.
Labor Secretary Bienvenido Laguesma recently engaged with personnel from DOLE Regional Office V in Bicol, emphasizing the importance of empowering field operations. “We really want to empower our regional offices because most of the department’s work revolves around you,” he said.
Strengthening Regional Coordination for Better Service
Laguesma stressed that clear and effective communication is critical to building public trust and ensuring quality service delivery. He pointed out the need for seamless coordination both within the department and with the public. “How we communicate, explain, and respond to public concerns is crucial. That’s why we’re making another round of visits—to connect directly with you and ensure we speak with one voice,” he added.
Improving the capacity and alignment of field operations not only supports better communication but also enhances the department’s ability to provide timely employment facilitation, livelihood support, and labor protection programs. These initiatives aim to make services more accessible and responsive across the country.
Commitment to Responsive Labor Services
The department’s focus on strengthening field operations reflects a broader commitment to Filipino workers. By empowering regional offices, DOLE ensures that programs reach those who need them most without delay. This approach fosters transparency and accountability in all labor-related services.
