Virginia Department of Human Resource Management

What Virginia Department of Human Resource Management does

The Virginia Department of Human Resource Management (DHRM) is a state government agency of the Commonwealth of Virginia, headquartered at 600 East Main Street, 17th Floor, Richmond, Virginia. Founded in 1942 and operating with 101–250 employees, DHRM is the central HR authority for all Commonwealth of Virginia state agencies, departments, colleges, and universities, providing HR policy administration, benefits administration, workers' compensation, training, workforce planning, and employee assistance programs for the state's workforce. The agency's primary customer segment is the employees and HR professionals of Virginia state agencies and institutions, including entities such as the Department of Corrections and VDOT.

The agency's core technology platform is the Phoenix HR information system paired with HR Data Insights (HRDI) for HR analytics, both accessible through the SecurePass single sign-on portal; the HuRMan Web Portal serves as an internal interface for agency HR professionals. Supporting modules include the Commonwealth of Virginia Learning Center (COVLC) for training, the Employee Assistance Program (EAP), the Commonwealth Mentorship Program, the CommonHealth wellness program, and the Virginia Risk Control Institute (VRCI) for safety/risk professional development. Partnerships underpin the service model: MC Innovations serves as the third-party administrator for the State Employee Workers' Compensation Program; Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) School of Business delivers VRCI curriculum; and the Department of Treasury Division of Risk Management co-funds VRCI for VA RISK–insured state and local government employees.

DHRM's business model is that of a government shared-services provider funded entirely through Virginia state appropriations. It does not generate commercial revenue and does not publicly disclose financial figures. Go-to-market is institutional rather than commercial: services are delivered directly to agencies, with communications run through the official website (dhrm.virginia.gov), social channels (Twitter/X, LinkedIn, Instagram), the Virginia Voices employee magazine, an annual HR Conference, and direct agency HR offices.
