OPM has issued an update of its Human Capital Business Reference Model, which it calls “the seminal product for defining and standardizing Federal Human Capital Management functions and subfunctions.”
The update, the first since 2017, “is used to assist agency human resources specialists in performing their functions and defines a uniform model for the HR user experience,” says a memo on chcoc.gov.
“Many agencies are using the HCBRM as a basis for developing their human capital strategies as well as providing a foundation for Human Resources Information Technology (HRIT) modernization planning,” it said.
OPM said that noteworthy changes included development of a new cross-cutting function for personnel action requests, which “illustrates that Human Capital is not siloed and the work of HR specialists crosses over many HCBRM functions”; and separating and elevating diversity and inclusion to diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility, which “underscores its importance and how it should not be limited to HC.”
