The Civil Service Commission (CSC) is encouraging government agencies in Metro Manila to adopt the Policies on Flexible Working Arrangements (FWAs) in the Government in support of the current initiative of the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority to improve the traffic situation.
CSC Chairperson Karlo Nograles said that the Policies on FWAs in the Government, promulgated through CSC Memorandum Circular (MC) No. 6, s. 2022, were established to institutionalize adaptable and responsive work schemes for civil servants to promote efficient and effective performance of governmental functions despite disruptive situations, including the worsening traffic situation in the metro.
“The National Capital Region has the largest number of government workers in the country, with 440,009 or 22.30% of career and non-career personnel. The prevailing traffic conditions in the metro not only hinder their mobility but also impact their productivity, particularly for those who commute daily. By adopting the FWA, we can not only enhance their efficiency but also safeguard their health, safety, and welfare,” he said.
