In this context the HRMM branch plays a critical role within the Agency and across government for managing the transition to a reformed HR system, and its associated performance measurement regime. The HRMM branch is accountable for providing leadership and oversight over a broad range of functional areas, with primary responsibility for the implementation of the Public Service Modernization Act(PSMA), leading the ongoing Classification reform process, aligning Employment policies and developing the HR dimension of the CASS initiative. In summary, the HRMM branch and its Executive team provide the visible face of HR reform to key stakeholders and the HR community across government. 1, record 7, English, - Human%20Resources%20Management%20Modernization%20Branch

La Direction de la MGRH a le mandat de jouer un rôle de chef de file et de supervision au sein d'une grande diversité de secteurs fonctionnels, et sa responsabilité première consiste à assurer la mise en œuvre de la Loi sur la modernisation de la fonction publique (LMFP), à diriger le processus de réforme de la classification en cours, aligner les politiques sur l'emploi, et élaborer le volet RH de l'initiative des SMAP.
