Watson Wyatt helps U.S. federal agencies transform their human capital practices. By using the best from the private sector — innovative workforce planning, pay for performance, phased retirement and HR outsourcing programs — agencies are finding new ways to maximize their investment in people.
Challenges Facing Federal
Government Human Capital Leaders
From streamlining the hiring process and making
government an employer of first choice to
increasing workforce excellence and implementing
new performance management systems, the job
responsibilities of government human capital leaders
have expanded more in the past five years than in the
previous fifty. So, what does this mean for you, as a
government human capital leader?
You have to address people issues across the entire
human capital lifecycle. From workforce planning and
human capital strategy development to recruitment,
hiring, training, retention, performance management,
leadership development, succession planning and
retirement. You need to spend less time on the
traditional, administrative aspects of human resource
management and more time on strategic human capital
planning.
You can no longer be just a personnel or human resource
specialist. Today, you and your team are being called
on to be strategic human capital consultants to internal
clients across your agency. You must position yourselves
as business partners with line managers and senior
leaders, and must develop an in-depth knowledge of your
agency’s mission, goals, programs and stakeholders.
You are being held accountable for results. This means
you must create human capital solutions that align
people, systems, technology and processes to meet your
agency’s strategic goals.
Senior program officials and executives are looking to
you for answers to today’s critical human capital issues.
They are looking to you for ideas on how to attract,
retain, reward and develop good people. This has
never been more important to the future of government.
Developing and implementing new human capital
strategies are critical to attracting a new generation
of workers to government service and meeting the
heightened expectations of the public.
Watson Wyatt Government Consulting Services works
with clients to integrate best-practice approaches to
meet these professional demands, while helping you
enhance the quality and effectiveness of your human
resource operations.
