The People, Metrics, Analytics and Projects (PMAP) Branch within the Public Service Commission (PSC) is responsible for providing information to senior leaders and decision makers to enable evidence and data based decisions. The branch is using existing PSC data and transforms it into illustrative and dynamic models. These models will assist HR and senior management with evidence-based HR decision making.
The current identified source databases are within the control and custody of PSC and include:
1. Human Resources Management System (HRMS)
2. YG Learn
3. E-recruitment
The benefit of evidence-based data is that strategic planning and resources can be targeted to address specific workplace and business issues. For example, the analysis of diversity metrics will enable the HR and Diversity Branch to plan and prioritise initiatives for attracting and retaining diverse candidates to the workplace.
Without metrics, resources may be randomly applied to initiatives that may not address gaps. Evidence-based data therefore facilitates efficient use of resources towards impactful business and workplace solutions.
