Next steps in addressing the federal government's high risk human capital issues
Article Abstract:
The US Government Accountability Office (GAO) identified the strategic management of human capital as a government wide high-risk issue in 2001 and it remains so in 2006, even though important progress has been made. Sustained and focused leadership to enable multi-year transformations in agencies, cautious approaches in connection with labor management relations and a shift to a market-based and performance-oriented pay are critical for human capital management.
