The Chief Human Capital Officers Council released a report last week that could help federal agencies develop better human capital strategies. In the 96-page report, called “Collection of Human Capital Practices,” 12 high-performing agencies describe their approaches to not only performance management, training and telework programs, but pandemic influenza planning, and preparations for the transition to the next presidential administration.

The CHCO Council chose the agencies featured in the report -- which include the Social Security Administration, the National Science Foundation and the Homeland Security Department -- for their human capital successes based on two studies (here and here), and a performance culture index established by the Office of Personnel Management. OPM described the “high performing” agencies as having had “the greatest improvements in performance management.” -- Rafael Enrique Valero
