Le Conseil des ressources humaines (CRH), auparavant le Conseil du renouvellement du personnel (CRP), a été créé en 1992 pour donner aux chefs des ressources humaines et à la collectivité des RH la possibilité d'infléchir les décisions stratégiques liées à la gestion des RH dans la fonction publique. Le CRP a été rebaptisé Conseil des ressources humaines en novembre 1998. Le CRH continuera de consolider son rôle actuel en tant que conseiller stratégique indépendant. En particulier, le CRH s'efforcera d'influencer l'orientation que prendront les organismes centraux à l'égard de l'élaboration des politiques des RH et du développement de la collectivité des RH. Pour bien s'acquitter de ce rôle, le CRH définira les besoins des gestionnaires des RH et les répercussions opérationnelles qu'auront les initiatives et approches des organismes centraux liés aux politiques des RH sur la prestation des services aux Canadiens et sur la prestation des services de RH aux ministères, aux organismes et aux employeurs distincts. Il avisera par ailleurs les organismes centraux que des questions liées à la capacité d'exercer cette fonction devront être prises en compte. Le CRH se penchera de façon sélective sur les principaux éléments du cadre de gestion des RH, et sur les principales questions stratégiques touchant à la fonction de gestion des RH, conformément à la vision et au programme d'activités stratégiques du CRH qu'il établira tous les ans, en collaboration avec les organismes centraux.
