Feature — Human Resource Management Program
The Human Resource Management Program is held in high regard statewide and nationally for its quick responsiveness to state and local governments and public safety units regarding employee classification/compensation studies, executive searches, promotions systems exams, and benchmarking performance. Such outreach enables clients to attract, motivate, and retain quality workforces that are efficient and productive and thereby contribute to the economic health of the state.
Faculty and staff provide assistance that is tailored especially to client needs. In the case of classification/compensation studies, questionnaires, interviews, and salary surveys of similarly sized governments enable the Institute team to develop accurate job descriptions and compensation figures. Training supervisory personnel to implement a new appraisal system is also carried out. Other faculty offer expertise in assessing and developing promotional systems and conducting entry-level and promotional testing. Governments may also receive help in all stages of an executive search, from writing the job description through making the job offer and completing the process.
