(Juneau) - Governor Frank H. Murkowski has directed that the attached briefing paper be distributed to foster a better understanding of the administration's human resources enterprise integration project. This project will consolidate and integrate human resources managers and personnel functions under a single agency, the Division of Personnel within the Department of Administration.
"We appreciate the cooperation and hard work of our human resource managers in implementing this new system," said Murkowski." I would also like to recognize the professional conduct of all of those involved with these changes. Alaska is well served with public employees such as these."
It is the expectation of Governor Murkowski, Commissioner of Administration Mike Miller and others in the administration that integrating the HR functions at the Division of Personnel will accomplish several worthy objectives. These include standardizing HR policy and practices across the executive branch; implementing enterprise technology systems and tools to improve delivery of services; increasing operational efficiencies; and reducing administrative costs.
The integration process began last week, and continues with meetings between Division of Personnel managers, HR managers and other HR staff. Over the coming weeks, the details of how the new program will operate will be worked out among all levels of HR management.
It is the hope of Governor Murkowski that reporters and other news media will find the attached briefing paper helpful in reporting on the process as it proceeds.
