Abstract

This paper explores the evolution of Human Resource Management (HRM) in Georgia's public sector, focusing on the shift from traditional personnel administration to modern people management. Despite legislative reforms since 2012 aimed at aligning with European standards, challenges remain. These include the legacy of Soviet control structures, a lack of specialized HR professionals, and limited involvement of line managers. Key steps for progress include strengthening HR units, fostering strategic partnerships, and promoting a culture that values HR’s role.

Keywords: HRM, civil service reform, people management, Georgia, legislative reform, strategic HRM.
