The Department of Human Resources (DHR) plays a strategic role in managing the Organization’s workforce by overseeing recruitment, staffing, internships, employee relations, performance evaluation, compensation, and benefits in compliance with internal regulations. In alignment with the mission of the Organization of American States (OAS), DHR ensures that workforce objectives support institutional goals while fostering an inclusive and positive work environment.
The DHR and its dependencies and workforce members are under the overall direction, supervision, and guidance of the director, who answers to the Secretary for Administration and Finance, in accordance with the legal system of the Organization, the Staff Rules, other pertinent regulations, and the provisions of the Executive Order on the Structure of the Organization.
Strategic Objectives:
- Manage organizational workforce to meet prioritized mandates with sharply constrained resources.
- Promote workforce member engagement to retain talent, foster productivity and improve organizational performance
- Ensure that the gender, diversity and rights perspective is mainstreamed across the work and organizational culture of the OAS
DHR is one of the Departments of the Secretariat for Administration and Finance.
