ADM(HR-Civ)’s mobile app gives you access to civilian HR information and tools at your fingertips.
HR GO RH, HR-Civ’s mobile app, is another way we’re modernizing how HR is done at DND. It is the first of its kind in the federal government, and it puts civilian HR information at your fingertips, anytime, anywhere.
Designed in-house, in collaboration with the members of the Defence Team, for the Defence Team, it is available for free for iOS and Android. Download it now:
We are continually updating the app and adding new features and information – once you’ve installed it, be sure to check for updates.
If you’re already an HR GO user, be sure to keep it updated. We’re adding new content regularly. Please leave us a review on your app store and tell us what you think. We are always looking for new ideas and ways to improve the app.
Content
HR GO RH content should be designed to help the user:
- Do their job
- Perform a task
- Be more efficient
HR GO RH content must be written and designed specifically for the app. Content developed for other purposes or platforms will likely require redevelopment to make it suitable for the app.
