85 Public-Sector Entities Now Utilising Gov’t’s Integrated Payroll and HR System

At least 85 public-sector entities are now utilising the Government’s integrated payroll and human resource management information system, MyHR+.

This was confirmed by Executive Director of the Transformation Implementation Unit (TIU), Maria Thompson Walters.

MyHR+ is being implemented across the public sector under the Government’s Public Sector Transformation Programme (PSTP).

The system comprises two main modules: HR, which facilitates the management and administration of employee data, and Payroll, which enables the efficient handling of salaries, claims, and allowances.

Mrs. Thompson Walters disclosed that the TIU delivered 55 entities under Phase One of the Transformation Programme, while speaking during a recent Visibility Ceremony to commemorate the Loan Contract between the Government and the Inter American Development Bank (IDB) for the continuation of the initiative.

“Whilst we were awaiting the approval process for phase two, we were not sitting on our laurels. So, we’ve added 30 more entities to the MyHR+ roster, and we will continue to roll out across the public sector,” she said.

The Executive Director emphasised that the TIU is enhancing the efficiency with which the public sector manages its people, resources, and institutions.

“This will be pursued through strengthening core government functions through shared services and the introduction of digital systems, continuing the rationalisation of public bodies and improving how we manage and support our public-sector workforce,” she affirmed.

Mrs. Thompson Walters stated that the TIU has a clear mandate to drive and manage the overall delivery of the PSTP, ensuring that tangible results are achieved.

“We will deliver on this agenda by coordinating, implementing, and supporting ministries and agencies and maintaining a strong focus on accountability and outcomes,” she outlined.

The TIU Head noted, however, that transformation cannot be delivered by the Unit alone.

“Transformation is something that we all must invest in. Its success depends on the leadership and commitment of ministries, departments, and agencies right across the public sector. Our role is to drive and support implementation… but responsibility for the outcomes of public-sector transformation is shared by us all,” she maintained.

Mrs. Thompson Walters emphasised that, as the Government advances into the next phase of public-sector transformation, the focus will remain firmly on delivering practical outcomes.

“This is a long-term effort… one that requires discipline, collaboration, and sustained commitment. Phase one demonstrated that lasting change requires sustained commitment to transformation. The task before us now is to lead, sustain, and expand those efforts as we continue to build a better public service,” she added.
