Labour inspection
First Cluster on Labour Laws Compliance System-Management Information System (LLCS-MIS) Enhancements
The workshop was the first to be organized and funded by the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) as part of its counterpart under the Labour Laws Compliance System-Management Information System (LLCS-MIS) enhancements. The one and a half day workshop objectives were to: (a) update selected labour inspectors and the Chiefs of the Technical Services and Support Division (TSSD); (b) gather inputs from the participants on the MIS data handling and security protocol; and (c) provide a presentation on the progress of the ILO USDOL Project on Labour Inspection.
The User Acceptance Testing (UAT) system was presented to the participants to ensure the feasibility and acceptance of the management information system (MIS) enhancements. Consultations for the data handling and security protocol and the Sustainability Plan also was part of the initial stage of UAT for the DOLE to be ready for its full implementation once the System is fully turn over to them. Trainings will be conducted for DOLE to start building acceptability and sustainability on the features of the new MIS. Together with the SafeYouth@Work Project, the participants were on the OSH component of the MIS.
