Employees - Our Most Important Resource
The nearly 13,000 employees for the Georgia Department of Corrections are its most valuable resource. Central Personnel Administration, the primary human resources office in the department, is responsible for all human resource functions within the department. From recruitment to retirement, Central Personnel helps every employee with any personnel-related issue.
Central Personnel provides assistance to management in interpretation and application of human resources law, policies and procedures. We do this not just for compliance, but because it makes good business sense.
