Advancing the Strategic Management of Human Capital
November 3, 2008 - The Human Capital Scorecard has a new look. In a change from previous years, OPM has enabled agencies to identify their own strategic goals to report through Proud To Be (PTB) 6 scoring. Rather than require the same checkmarks from every agency, OPM now gives agencies ample space on the scorecard to identify their own outcomes and deliverables. This new approach reflects the significant progress agencies have made through the President's Management Agenda’s Strategic Human Capital Management Initiative. View more here

January 31, 2008 - "The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is now Green in more ways than one. As of the first Quarter of Fiscal Year 2008, EPA has advanced to Green status on the Human Capital scorecard. EPA's demonstrated results in human capital management were further recognized by President Bush when he awarded EPA the President's Quality Award for Overall Management. By linking its Strategic Human Capital Plan ("Investing in Our People II") with agency strategic goals, EPA integrates its human capital strategy and operations with overarching strategic management decisions. EPA uses assessment and accountability tools to identify workforce trends and emerging challenges. Its strategic use of timely workforce data has enabled EPA to meet its talent management targets, including low vacancy rates and attrition. "
