The Mission and Goal of the Department of Human Resources Development

The Department of Human Resources Development (“DHRD”) provides timely and responsive leadership, resources, and services to fully support the State of Hawai’i Executive Branch in the recruitment, management, and retention of a high-performing workforce.

Guided by the Merit Principle (HRS Chapter 76-1), DHRD conducts recruitment and training activities; provides guidance and support for personnel actions; classifies positions based on duties and responsibilities; ensures compensation of employees at proper pay levels; supports the collective bargaining process; directs effective employee-employer relations; administers workers’ compensation benefits; and ensures a safe and healthy work environment.

DHRD’s mission is to recruit and retain “the best and the brightest” employees, so that State government can deliver efficient and effective services to the public.

 

The State of Hawai'i offices will be closed November 27, 2025 in observance of Thanksgiving. Wishing you and your 'ohana a safe and happy Thanksgiving.

In February 2025, @govjoshgreen issued an Executive Order to strengthen Hawai‘i’s workforce by supporting those displaced by federal executive actions. That directive launched Operation Hire Hawai'i—a statewide effort led by our incredible Recruitment staff.

Thanks to the commitment of HR teams and hiring managers across state departments, we've now reached an exciting milestone: 200 individuals hired into critical state positions!

Operation Hire Hawai'i is open to all interested applicants looking to serve their community and build a career in public service.

With many more candidates currently moving through interviews and background checks, we're just getting started. Operation Hire Hawai'i continues to connect talent with purpose—filling key roles that serve and strengthen our communities every day.
