BPJPH Strengthens Human Resources for Effective Halal Product Assurance Services
Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Halal Product Assurance Organising Agency (BPJPH) continues to strengthen the quality of its human resources (HR) through a competency development approach based on organisational needs to enhance the effectiveness of Halal Product Assurance (JPH) services.
BPJPH Head Ahmad Haikal Hasan, in his statement in Jakarta on Tuesday, emphasised that HR strengthening is also a key factor in implementing JPH services, following the mandatory halal certification obligation this year.
“The success of mandatory halal implementation is not only determined by regulations but also heavily depends on the readiness of the HR executing it,” said Haikal.
“Therefore, competency development must truly be needs-based, on target, and directly impact service performance,” he added.
As part of these steps, BPJPH has held the Competency Development Needs Analysis Training (AKPK) for civil servants (ASN) within its environment.
This activity, organised by the BPJPH Human Resource Development Centre (PPSDM), was attended by employees designated as Persons in Charge (PIC) in each work unit, both at the central and regional levels, in a hybrid format at the beginning of this week.
The activity is intended to ensure equitable understanding and strengthen coordination between work units.
“It is important for every ASN to continuously improve their competencies. When competencies are higher, it means we value ourselves,” said Haikal.
He hopes that AKPK can become an effective instrument in identifying employee competency gaps, so that the development programmes formulated are more targeted and impactful on organisational performance.
In addition, the AKPK results also serve as the basis for strengthening talent management within BPJPH.
Head of PPSDM BPJPH Indrayani added that BPJPH faces increasingly complex challenges, thus requiring structured and efficient HR development planning.
“Through AKPK, competency needs can be mapped systematically. Thus, HR development programmes can be formulated more directed and not general in nature,” she said.
This competency strengthening is also expected to be an important part in forming superior HR or Halal Experts who will support the strengthening of the national halal ecosystem.
Through this training, continued Indrayani, BPJPH seeks to strengthen adaptive, professional, and competitive HR development steps through a needs-based organisational approach.
These efforts are expected to improve the quality of public services while ensuring that JPH service implementation can be carried out effectively and efficiently, especially entering the mandatory halal enforcement in October 2026.
