Implementation
As banded classes are approved statewide,
DHHS will convert our related positions to the new banded
classes. To complete this process, the central Human Resources
Implementation team works with division and institution management
and staff to plan, analyze, and convert existing positions
to the applicable banded classes. This guide is not intended
to cover this transition phase, but related materials are
available on this DHHS Banding website
(http://www.dhhs.state.nc.us/humanresources/banding).
Changes in Human Resources Functions
The following graphic illustrates how competencies
form the foundation of the Career Banding system as it relates
to the major functions within Human Resources.

With the implementation of Career Banding
in DHHS, the role of Human Resources practitioners will
gradually
change, affecting the areas illustrated above to varying
degrees.
Concerning the way work is done, Human Resources
(HR) staff may have to learn different processes, rules
and procedures
within their different functional areas, but their general
functions will remain essentially the same. We anticipate
that the main HR competencies currently required will remain
the same, with some shift in emphasis especially in the
area
of a consulting versus compliance roles.
The following chart illustrates the anticipated
changes in Human Resources activities:
