By: FEDweek StaffA report filed in support of a bill now pending a Senate vote says that annual agency performance plans—designed to preview an agency’s strategic goals and objectives, help leaders align resources and guide decision-making—should contain more input on related personnel issues.
“The current law requires an agency’s Chief Human Capital Officer to contribute to the creation of the agency’s performance plan but does not require agencies to incorporate data and evidence or information technology measurements into plans,” says a report on HR-2617, which has passed the House and recently cleared the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee.
The bill would require collaboration between executive suite leaders including the chief human capital officer, chief information officers, chief financial officers, and chief performance officers in developing the plans. It further would require that plans include descriptions of human capital, training, data and evidence, information technology, and skill sets needed to meet the performance goals; as well as the needed technology modernization investments, system upgrades, staff technology skills and expertise, stakeholder input and feedback, and other resources and strategies.
“By requiring the collaboration of these senior officials that have expertise in the areas they oversee and ensuring agencies have the resources needed to achieve their performance goals, agencies can maximize human capital, technology, and time to better serve the public and meet their performance milestones,” the report says.
