In its latest quarterly update, performance.gov highlighted several hiring-related actions under “strengthening and empowering the federal workforce” priority of the President’s Management Agenda:
* work on a tool to help job-seekers better “match their ideal careers and ways of working to federal job series”;
* training on hybrid work environments that has now reached more than 22,000 employees;
* proposed rules “that will provide expanded flexibility to agencies during candidate selection” if using numeric ranking systems; and
* proposed rules to “facilitate a better application experience, improve developmental opportunities for Pathways Program participants, and streamline agencies’ ability to hire participants in the programs.”
“Looking ahead, the Workforce Priority team will double down on efforts that improve hiring, internships, employee experience, access to data, and many more initiatives,” it says.
