Dr. Mary P. Caclini, Vice President for Academic Affairs, representing University President Dr. Eva Marie Codamon-Dugyon, expressed her commendation for the DHRD's efforts and expressed her optimism that the training program will enhance decision-making processes and strategies in delivering outstanding customer service.

Dr. Caclini emphasized the importance of leaving a lasting impression through every interaction, as the university's success and reputation rely heavily on the quality of customer service provided.

Ms. Anita Verina T. Paredes, Director II, Civil Service Commission - Ifugao Field Office, served as the resource speaker.

Earlier this month, the DHRD organized a seminar titled "Panudtudu: Capacitating University Personnel (Drivers) on Theoretical/Defensive Driving and Gender-Fair Languages."

The seminar aimed to ensure that drivers from all six campuses of IFSU are well-equipped with the latest policies and guidelines set by the Land Transportation Office (LTO) pertaining to their responsibilities.

"Panudtudu," a tuwali term meaning "teaching," is part of the university's DHRD's capacity-building program. It encompasses a series of learning and development initiatives for IFSU employees, focused on enhancing their human resources skills and knowledge.

As a PRIME HR Bronze Awardee and through these proactive measures, IFSU DHRD strives to empower its personnel with the necessary skills and knowledge to deliver exceptional customer service.
