Personnel Management in Agencies: Strategic Human Capital Management

The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is issuing a final rule to modernize the framework governing personnel management and strategic human capital management in Federal agencies. This rule amends the regulatory framework for personnel management in Federal agencies to streamline human capital planning and reporting requirements, strengthen the authority of agency Chief Human Capital Officers (CHCOs), update employee survey requirements, and align the regulatory framework with Executive branch priorities for a high- performing Federal workforce. OPM carefully considered all public comments received on the proposed rule and has made targeted revisions in response.
