The past week has brought about drastic changes to the work setup of a lot of companies especially to those who work for the government but DOST-CALABARZON’s Public Service Continuity Plan proved its efficiency as the organization implemented its work-from-home work arrangement in compliance with the enhanced community quarantine. All these were possible through the in-house developed Smart Systems of DOST-CALABARZON and other free online services that run through its reliable and resilient ICT infrastructure.

In the past years, DOST CALABARZON has been flattening its organizational hierarchy enabling fast work delegation, approval, and execution. It has also implemented the “less paper” work environment resulting in reduced cost. Even before the community quarantine, DOST-CALABARZON has been providing support to mobile working allowing its workforce to perform their job anytime and anywhere.

Let us look at the first week of the work-from-home setup.
