MANILA: The Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) announced on Thursday that it signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Philippine Government Employees Association (PGEA) to establish the GSIS-PGA Education and Speakers’ Bureau.
The initiative aims to boost the engagement and education of government employees on GSIS programs and services.
GSIS President and General Manager Wick Veloso said the bureau would provide essential information to PGEA members through targeted seminars, workshops, and sessions across the country.
‘This initiative represents a proactive approach to educate and empower our members ensuring they have the knowledge and resources they need to secure their future and enhance their overall well-being,’ Veloso said in a news release on Wednesday.
“We are committed to improve our services to government workers. This collaboration with the PGEA plays a crucial role in keeping workers aligned with the latest developments and services of the GSIS throughout the bureaucracy.’
Under the agreement, the GSIS will provide experts and resources to support the establishment and maintenance of the joint Education and Speakers’ Bureau, develop and distribute educational materials on GSIS programs, train and deploy speakers for educational seminars and workshops, and facilitate the Annual GSIS Members Conference.
PGEA will assist in developing educational content and promotional materials, promote GSIS programs and events through various communication channels, coordinate logistics for speaking engagements and educational workshops, and act as ambassadors of GSIS programs to ensure effective dissemination of information to members.
PGEA is the national umbrella organization of public sector workers and unions in the Philippines.
