The City Government of Isabela, under the leadership of City Mayor Sitti Djalia Turabin-Hataman through its City Human Resource Management Office in collaboration with the City Population Management and Development Office, facilitated the Mother-Baby Friendly Workplace orientation, May 18.
The activity brought together representatives from all city government offices and OCM divisions, reinforcing the city’s commitment to promoting maternal and child health, and fostering an inclusive and supportive workplace. Each office was directed to send two representatives to ensure wider awareness and effective implementation of mother-baby friendly policies.
During the orientation, participants were provided with essential information on the city’s workplace policies supporting breastfeeding employees and other maternal care initiatives. The program also highlighted strategies to create a safe, inclusive, and health-supportive work environment, aligning with the city’s continuing efforts to strengthen employee welfare and family-friendly practices.
The orientation is part of the City Government’s ongoing initiatives to ensure that public service remains responsive, compassionate, and attuned to the needs of its workforce. (Words by SJ Asakil/Photos by M. Santos, CIO)
