USAID's 2008 Federal Human Capital Survey Results
USAID's success depends on the talent and motivation of its workforce. Recruiting and retaining the best and the brightest individuals depend, in large part, on the quality of the work environment.
The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) gathers data to assess the state strategic human capital management across the Federal government and by agency in order to provide agency managers information they can use to improve management practices and the work environment for their employees.
This is the fourth time OPM has conducted the Federal Human Capital Survey (FHCS). OPM first ran the survey in 2002 and then again in 2004 and 2006. The findings of the 2008 survey offer a snapshot of Federal employees' perception of workforce management in their agencies today.
By looking at trend data, agency leaders also will see how far the have come and what remains to be done. To see USAID's results report click on the box.
To guide agencies in addressing human capital management issues, OPM created the Human Capital Assessment and Accountability Framework (HCAAF), which provides standards for success for agencies to measure their progress and achievements in managing their workforce. Each fiscal quarter, agencies are evaluated on their progress in meeting HCAAF standards. The 2008 FHCS provides one source of information for evaluating success in the three HCAAF implementation systems: Leadership & Knowledge Management, Results-Oriented Performance Culture, and Talent Management. OPM has developed metrics for each of these systems.
For more information on HCAAF, refer to OPM's website: www.opm.gov.
