The Office of Personnel Management is distributing its second
federal human capital survey, intended to measure employees’
perceptions about their agencies.
The survey — likely to focus on areas covered by the
president’s management agenda — is designed to benchmark with
the 2002 survey, which had over 100,000 respondents.
OPM says the 2004 survey will be anonymous insofar as it will
release only grouped data to agencies, intended to inform
senior management about the success of HR management systems
and provide insight as to how to improve them.
It said it encourages chief human capital officers to use the
results to help them with their workforces and expects agency
managers to make a sophisticated assessment of their own
human capital management and develop an action plan for
improvement, based on the results.
