Federal Manager's Daily Report

OPM has told agencies to begin preparing for the annual agency human capital reviews, calling them an “opportunity to engage with OPM in candid conversation about your agency’s successes and challenges in implementing strategies designed to strengthen the federal workforce and achieve human capital objectives, as well as receive focused, high-level, feedback and assistance from OPM.”

“The HCR is OPM’s evidence-based review of agency human capital management practices and activities and is designed to improve human capital outcomes in support of organizational performance. OPM invites you to have members of your executive staff engage in interactive dialogue to identify and share successful practices, crosscutting organizational challenges and root causes within your agency, and leverage OPM’s partnership to develop solutions,” a memo on chcoc.gov says.

The reviews, to begin in March, in particular will focus on “use of human capital data to develop strategies, measure results, and assess organizational performance through HRStat in support of the enabling priority Leveraging Data as a Strategic Asset in the 2022 Federal Workforce Priorities Report,” it says.

That will include (in its words): using HRStat to measure and inform attainment of human capital operating plan objectives in support of the agency strategic plan; incorporating data from the agency’s independent audit program to inform and adjust human capital strategies, and ensuring necessary data analytics skills and processes are in place.

Agencies meanwhile “will have the opportunity to showcase agency accomplishments and address both agency-specific and governmentwide needs and concerns that may be affecting mission accomplishment.”
