The Government of Belize, in October 2004, in an effort to automate the human resource database of the Belize Public Service, initiated the implementation of the Smart Stream Human Resources Project through the Ministry of the Public Service. This would assist in standardizing human resource management practices facilitating the devolution of this function to the Ministries, and to support a new system for human resource development.

The HRMIS is a component of the Smart Stream System and is linked directly to payroll. It is designed to hold all data on employees and applicants for positions including but not limited to employment history, skills, training, employees review, employee violations information, health and safety information etc. It can run queries, of any HR nature, to provide relevant and precise information required for decision-making in respect of Human Resources Management (HRM) and Human Resources Development (HRD).
