As a PQA recipient, what was its impact to the overall organizational performance, to the employees and to the management?
For the entire organization, it gave the entire agency more confidence, confirming that the quality of our operations was worthy of an award. The award also made NSO more aware of TQM not just as a practice, but really as a way of operating our agency, locking us into a quality management mode of thinking. There is also the pride that goes with being the first national government agency to receive the PQA Commitment Award.
For the employees, apart from the pride mentioned above, the impact of the awards is in terms of a raised level of consciousness and a different perspective of customers and clients. Looking at each other as a client whom we have to serve with a quality at par with the private sector made for higher standards.
For the management, the award has put a premium on all the activities covered by the seven (7) espoused criteria. There is a more conscious effort to document and institutionalize. Feedback and employee satisfaction is more at the forefront of operations, whether statistical, civil registration, or administration.
