OWD boasts of lean workforce

ORANI, Bataan -The Orani Water District (OWD) boasts of lean and coherent workforce effectively servicing its members.

“We have more than 1,100 household members and with this number we are already qualified to hire 100 plus employees. But we have only 50 plus employees yet efficiently functioning”, OWD General Manager Benni Andres said.

“They are all trained in multi-tasking, and they always deliver”, he said in describing his subordinates.   

“They are equipped with the right tools. During training, they absorb the knowledge like a sponge would soak up water”, he added.

“We have been also adopting the computerization program that resulted to efficient completion of our works”, said the Ateneo-schooled manager.

OWD due to its overall improvement in management and service has been recently raised to Category B from Category C by the Local Water Utilities Administration.

For the past years, some of the officers and employees of OWD were recipients of citations and awards from Civil Service Commission.  

In 2012, the Orani Water District Operation and Management Excellence Team with Andres as Team Leader, was national awardee of the CSC Pag-asa Award. No less than former President Aquino presented the award in Malacanang to the OWD team.
