My Department's Human Resources Division provides HR services to over 3,300 people working in the Department (approximately 3,170 full time equivalents). In addition to the transactional HR services provided to civil servants generally by the PeoplePoint shared service within the National Shared Services Office, this "retained" HR function encompasses a very broad remit including HR Strategy, Industrial Relations, Management and Employee Supports and Services, as well as Learning and Development and Competitions and Recruitment - all of which are focussed on the specialist requirements of my Department. The Division engages proactively with internal and external stakeholders with a view to delivering on the strategic goals and business needs of my Department.
A total of 83 staff (approximately 76 measured in Full-Time Equivalents) are currently assigned to Human Resources Division.
