Human Resources

The Department of Human Resources provides Countywide centralized management and administrative oversight for activities associated with personnel, labor relations, employee benefits, loss prevention training, and risk management services. Pursuant to Fresno County Ordinance Code Chapter 2.12 and Administrative Policy Number 54, these countywide personnel services are provided from a centralized perspective, to ensure uniformity and consistency of personnel services and to maximize economy of scale. Individual departments, however, are responsible for personnel actions related to employee selection, development, retention, and separation, in consultation and/or collaboration with the Department of Human Resources.

Organizationally, the Department of Human Resources is divided into four major program areas with one administrative unit responsible for department administrative and business functions, budgeting, finance, strategic planning, research and development and legislative analysis.
