Colorado Revised Statutes Title 24. Government State § 24-50-145. Agency-based human resource innovation and management processes--legislative declaration--definitions--guidelines and goals

Current as of January 01, 2022 | Updated by FindLaw Staff

(1) The general assembly hereby finds and declares:

(a) That the state personnel system must ensure that the process of staffing state government is based on merit and fitness, independent of the political system;

(b) That the public is entitled to a state personnel system that protects the basic merit principles prescribed by the constitution and that constantly improves through innovation, flexibility, and responsiveness to changing human resource management needs;

(c) That a state personnel system based on and pursuing these fundamental goals is essential in order to maintain the confidence of the public in the state personnel system, to attract the best possible applicants for public employment, to create a workplace environment where state employees are motivated to excel, and to encourage long-term careers in state service;

(d) That the state personnel system is designed, in part, to pursue these goals by allowing agencies to implement processes for human resource innovation and management, including, but not limited to, processes for employee recruitment, appointment, promotion, individual position allocation, performance evaluation, and dispute resolution within those agencies that operate within the constitutional framework for the state personnel system.

(2) As used in this section, unless the context otherwise requires, “agency” means any department, board, bureau, commission, division, institution, or other agency of the state, including institutions of higher education.

(3) Each agency is hereby authorized to develop with the state personnel director or the personnel board, as appropriate, and subject to the Colorado constitution, applicable statutes, personnel board rules, and procedures of the state personnel director, processes for human resource innovation and management applicable to such agency. The state personnel director or the personnel board, as appropriate, shall provide assistance to any agency with implementation and coordination of agency processes for human resource innovation and management and shall consult with agencies to ensure that such processes are administered in adherence to the Colorado constitution, applicable statutes, personnel board rules, and procedures of the state personnel director. The agency processes for human resource innovation and management shall be formulated utilizing the input of the agency's management and nonmanagement employees. The head of an agency developing processes for human resource innovation and management shall be responsible for implementing such processes in that agency and submitting to the state personnel director or the personnel board, as appropriate, a written statement describing any human resource innovation and management processes implemented by the agency. Such written statement shall be submitted to the state personnel director or the personnel board commensurate with the implementation of the processes by the agency. The written statement shall be updated by the head of the agency upon modification or revision of the agency's human resource innovation and management processes.
