Successful Practices in Public HR

Successful practices are programs that were implemented to bring success to organizations as well as those that are designed to meet new challenges. The IPMA-HR Successful Practices task force, chaired by Sam Wilkins, Director, Office of Human Resources, South Carolina (click here for a list of all committee members) created the following criteria to assist in identifying successful practices:

• Results that are measurable through quantitative and/or qualitative analysis
• Recognized positive outcomes concerning increased customer satisfaction
• Recognized positive impact on the return on investment, cost savings, productivity or quality
• Replicable such that the program is transferable or portable to another organization with or without modifications
• Beneficial to IPMA-HR members

These practices are updated as new material is made available to IPMA-HR. The purpose is to encourage excellence in public HR by providing information to our members about programs that have been successful in the public sector. IPMA-HR is collecting case studies on successful practices in HR. Please submit a detailed description of your program to asilas@ipma-hr.org

IPMA-HR also maintains the HR Center – overview articles and sample policies – on 60+ topics that HR professionals address everyday: cell phone usage, employee assistance programs, paid time off programs and many more.
