The following are some of the publications OPM has developed to support the Federal Human Resource Development (HRD) community. Please check back periodically for additions or updates.
Guide to Human Resources Reporting
Federal agencies should rely on this guide to prepare human resources (HR), payroll and training data files. Agencies are responsible for regularly submitting their data files to the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), and OPM will then load the data into its Enterprise Human Resources Integration (EHRI) data repository.
Training Policy Handbook
We are currently updating the Training Policy Handbook to align it with the revised 5 CFR 410 and 412. Once completed, we will post the revised handbook on the website. In the meantime, please email us at hrdleadership@opm.gov to request a draft copy of the revised handbook.
Guide for Collection and Management of Training Information
The Guide for Collection and Management of Training Information (the Guide) purpose is to provide the most up-to-date information on required and suggested training data elements. The Guide was developed to assist human resources (HR) professionals and agency program managers who have the responsibility to collect and report on training activities.
Training Evaluation Field Guide
Agencies are required to evaluate their training programs annually to determine how well such plans and programs contribute to mission accomplishment and meet organizational performance goals (5 CFR 410.202). This Training Evaluation Field Guide is designed to assist agency training representatives in evaluating training program effectiveness and in demonstrating training value to stakeholders and decision makers.
Best Practices - Mentoring
This tool was developed to assist agencies in creating a business case for mentoring and as an outline of the critical steps in developing and implementing a formal mentoring program.
Executive Onboarding Framework
This framework was designed to provide a consistent model in which to introduce new executives into the SES and to maximize executive effectiveness. It is a flexible framework allowing adjustments that adhere to specific agency rules, policies, procedures and needs.
