Federal Manager's Daily Report

The council stated that one of the priorities of its subcommittee on the human capital workforce in fiscal 2009 would be to facilitate what it sees as a natural transition of the human capital workforce from a transaction-based environment to a more strategic and consultative role.

It said the subcommittee would lead the transition by reviewing, developing and recommending strategies and a framework to promote and foster this evolution.

The subcommittee will also partner with OPM and the HR line of business subcommittee to develop strategies and showcase ways to transform the federal HR profession, and as well as partner with OPM to create a federal human capital leadership network.

According to the report, the council’s subcommittee on hiring and succession planning will work to developing strategies to ensure agencies are fully utilizing the human capital flexibilities available and identify changes needed to existing rules or programs to improve the ability of agencies to recruit and retain diverse talent.

Its learning and development subcommittee also plans to work with OPM to identify, implement, and improve innovative ways to develop and sustain civil service leadership at all levels, including inter and intra-agency developmental assignments.
