This series of country reviews examines the design and implementation of government HRM policies within the context of larger government values. These values are usually at least partially context specific. The reports focus on assessing: whether governments are managing the size, skills, and competencies of their workforce in a sustainable manner; whether HRM systems in governments are performance oriented; whether there is a balance between the flexibility and consistency of HRM rules within and across governments; and finally, whether the values promoted by government are consistent with the management rules and practices.
