Gender inclusivity: Assessing workplace policies and practices in the local government units in fourth class Municipalities of La Union. [Unpublished Undergraduate Thesis].

It encourages a more productive workplace and equal opportunities. This study examined the gender-inclusive workplace policies and practices of Bagulin and Burgos, two fourth-class municipalities in La Union. The acquisition, maintenance, and development of human resources were its three main areas of focus. Data were gathered from 29 municipal employees via surveys using a descriptive research design. Burgos performed exceptionally well, according to the results. Gender-responsive hiring, placement, compensation, and training practices were firmly established by the municipality. Although there were deficiencies in planning, orientation, and uniform policy enforcement, Bagulin showed moderate to high implementation. Collectively, the fourth-class municipalities of La Union operate within resource-limited settings, where gender-inclusive workplace practices are present but require strengthened monitoring and capacity-building to ensure sustainability. These results imply that although inclusivity is recognized, improved monitoring and capacity-building are necessary to attain long-term gender inclusivity.xi, 143 p.: ill.
