In an effort to understand the current state of human resource management in the government, our Research and Policy Department developed a series of reports to help guide the Commonwealth in their human capital planning, implementation, and evaluation processes.
This first report includes a thorough examination of the existing policy framework, which includes the evaluation of the regulatory policy proposed by Act 8-2017, known locally as the Sole Employer (Empleador Unico). In addition, the report incorporates an examination of the existing literature around civil service reform in the US, including lessons learned and effective approaches, and introduces a new comprehensive and holistic approach to build, develop, and nurture a high-performing government workforce in Puerto Rico.
