ILS - DOLE

Quick Response Teams (QRTs) were created under DOLE Department Order No. 07, Series of 2001 (D.O. 07-01) as region-based providers of services to displaced workers. In brief, this paper looks into how DOLE has fared in terms of responding to worker displacement through QRTs and gives recommendations based on past experiences culled from an earlier study of the Institute for Labor Studies. This paper particularly proposes the reengineering of QRTs to improve services for workers affected by economic shocks.
