Agency: Human Resource Management Function The Department of Human Resource Management (DHRM) is the central human resource office for the executive branch of the state. Department staff is responsible for recruitment, training, classification, and compensation systems for the state. The mission of DHRM is to develop, implement, and administer a statewide human resource management system for state employees that will: - Promote quality government that aids in the effective execution of public policy
- Attract and retain quality employees and foster productive and meaningful careers in public service
- Develop effective relationships that aid in rendering assistance to agencies in performing their missions and working with customers and stakeholders.
During the 2006 General Session the Legislature passed House Bill 269, Human Resource Management Amendments, which established DHRM as an independent department rather than a division under the Department of Administrative Services. Further, the bill allowed DHRM to operate an internal service fund. Statutory Authority The powers and duties of DHRM are established in UCA 67-19-5. The director is given full responsibility and accountability for administration of statewide human resource management. Responsibilities for the department are identified in UCA 67-19-6, some of which include: - Administer a statewide personnel management program that aids efficient execution of public policy, fosters careers, and assists state agencies in performing their missions
- Design and administer the state pay plan, classification system, and recruitment and selection system
