The Employees’ Compensation Commission is strengthening its efforts to raise awareness on its programs by reaching out to employers, human resource and union officers in southern Negros.
As part of its two-day activities in Negros Occidental, the ECC is holding an advocacy seminar for more than 200 participants from both the public and the private sectors in Kabankalan City on Tuesday.
Executive Director Stella Zipagan-Banawis said in a press briefing here on Monday that the biggest challenge for ECC, an attached agency of the Department of Labor and Employment, is raising awareness on their programs and benefits that have improved and increased in the past year.
“We take this opportunity to inform the media about the Employees’ Compensation Program (ECP) as the latest ECC policies and increases as they help us increase awareness on the ECP,” said Zipagan-Banawis.
The ECP provides a package of benefits for public and private sector employees and their dependents in the event of work-connected contingencies such as sickness, injury, disability or death.(PNA)
