U.S. Office of Personnel Management - Ensuring the Federal Government has an effective civilian workforce

How do you build a great public service organization that meets stakeholders’ high expectations? Or  energize your staff to produce consistently excellent results? This program will give you a template for “people practices” that make a difference, with new approaches to recruiting, staff development, motivation and succession planning that work for your employees and your organization.

Seasoned executives at the Federal Executive Institute (FEI) will guide you every step of the way toward building a great people organization.  You will begin by measuring your organization’s practices against the latest methods in human capital management. You will then assess your agency’s culture and dynamics to identify opportunities for transformation. As a special bonus, a group of new recruits will share perspectives on what is meaningful to them, what drew them to the Federal workforce and what inspires them to become our next generation of leaders.

• Appreciate the importance of a comprehensive approach to transforming Federal human capital practices
• Learn how to launch and implement a succession and leader development strategy
• Develop your organization’s culture as the framework for a healthy and successful public service agency
• Devise strategies to develop a climate of encouragement and learning
• Learn from other leaders who have successfully retooled their workforces
• Gain special insights from high-potential recruits who have recently chosen public service as a career
