Pangasinan State University, through its Human Resource Management and Development Office (HRMDO), spearheaded a Workshop on Job Description aimed at enhancing employees’ understanding of roles, responsibilities and performance expectations within the institution.

In an opening message, Dr. Villanueva, emphasized the importance of clearly defined job descriptions in promoting organizational efficiency, accountability, and professional growth.
Acting Director for HRMDO, Dr. Shiela Marie Malicdem, in the Statement of Purpose encouraged the participants to actively engage in discussions and share insights regarding their current duties and workplace experiences.
In the workshop proper, University Document Control Custodian Dr. Charles Dustein Soriano, discussed the content of the JD Manual including the fundamental components of a job description and job purpose.
Meanwhile, through interactive presentations and group activities, Dr. And Julie Rosal, Head of Sustainable Development unit, provided an overview of JD Mapping that included key responsibilities, required competencies and reporting relationships.
A significant portion of the workshop was devoted to hands-on exercises where participants reviewed existing job descriptions and identified areas requiring updates or clarification to ensure alignment with current operational needs and institutional standards.
Questions regarding role boundaries, accountability measures and evolving job requirements were addressed by the HR facilitators, providing valuable guidance and clarity.
The HRMDO team leaders for each unit also took part in the workshop and served as members of the Technical Working Committee (TWC).
