EVSU’s Merit-Based Promotions and Inclusive Human Resource Practices
Eastern Visayas State University (EVSU) exemplifies a strong commitment to meritocracy, inclusivity, and good governance in all aspects of human resource management. Guided by the principles of fairness, transparency, and equal opportunity mandated by Philippine civil service laws, EVSU ensures that recruitment, promotion, and career advancement are grounded on competence, performance, and integrity—free from bias or discrimination.
This commitment has been nationally recognized through the Civil Service Commission’s conferment of Maturity Level II accreditation in all four core systems (Recruitment, Selection, and Placement; Learning and Development; Performance Management; and Rewards and Recognition), under the Program to Institutionalize Meritocracy and Excellence in Human Resource Management (PRIME-HRM). This prestigious recognition affirms EVSU’s full institutionalization of strategic, competency-based, and people-centered HR systems, positioning the University among the top-performing state universities in the Philippines in terms of HR governance excellence.
The University’s Strategic Performance Management System (SPMS) ensures that employee evaluation and promotion are based on objective, evidence-based criteria directly linked to institutional outcomes. Complementing this, EVSU provides robust capacity-building initiatives, graduate scholarships, and continuing professional development opportunities to enable personnel growth and career advancement.
Inclusivity remains a defining feature of EVSU’s HR culture. Through its Gender and Development (GAD) and Equal Opportunity policies, the University guarantees equitable access to employment, promotion, and training opportunities regardless of gender, disability, ethnicity, or personal circumstance.
By attaining PRIME-HRM Level II Maturity accreditation and embedding inclusive, merit-based principles across all its systems, EVSU stands as a model of transformative human resource management in higher education advancing excellence, integrity, and empowerment within and beyond the institution.
