ADVOCACY

PMAP is a strong advocate on labor and social issues such as, but not limited to, quality of work-life, values formation, alternative dispute resolution thru mediation, and corporate governance. PMAP was able to garner national recognition for it’s effort in interviewing and creating a competencies profile of the presidential candidates prior to the 2004 National Elections.

In broadening its advocacy thrusts, PMAP has created the National HR Agenda, a master plan for national reform and development, unifying diverse sectors and disciplines towards one vision and one voice for people development.

Derived from initial thoughts by experts in human resource management (HRM), it makes use of a wholistic HRM perspective as a starting point for forming a multi-sectoral consensus, leading to the formulation of synergistic, multi-sectoral programs and the creation of a National Commission for a National HR Agenda. This private sector-led initiative was started by PMAP in response to the growing need for national reform, job creation, and showcasing the global competitiveness of the Filipino worker.
