Strengthening North Dakota’s Local Government Workforce

The HR Collaborative for Local Government (HR Collaborative) is a program of the North Dakota Insurance Reserve Fund (NDIRF) designed to strengthen human resource management within North Dakota’s local governments. The program provides affordable training, resources, and support to meet the specific needs of local government HR staff.

Membership in the HR Collaborative is free for all North Dakota local government entities.

People are at the heart of local government—they are its most valuable resource and the foundation that supports every community’s mission and purpose. Human resource management plays a vital role in keeping local government strong by developing policies, processes, and training that help employees succeed.

The HR Collaborative Reference Guide offers a comprehensive collection of information and resources to help HR staff build positive employee-employer relationships through effective, consistent, and legally compliant policies and procedures.
