Administrative History
The Directorate of Personnel Development Studies (DPDS), was formed in late 1974 and reported to the Assistant Deputy Minister (Personnel). It was responsible for the conditions of service studies as well as all the aspects of personnel policy development that the Assistant Deputy Minister (Personnel) approved. Both of these responsibilities embraced several areas of personnel management and provided a service to departmental staff and line organizations. The DPDS also assisted in the planning and the provision of support to specific Personnel Group approved studies, initiated by groups outside the Personnel Group organization. In late 1991, the DPDS was reorganized into several other directorates.
