In recent years, USTR's increased workload from numerous new regional and bilateral free trade agreement negotiations and a new round of multilateral negotiations at the World Trade Organization has raised concerns about its human capital strategy. GAO examined whether USTR is pursuing an effective human capital strategy that supports the ability of its workforce to accomplish its mission. Specifically, GAO (1) reviewed USTR's commitment to strategic human capital leadership and planning and (2) analyzed to what extent USTR has used human capital tools to address its workforce challenges. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-167/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-167.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-167/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-167.pdf GAO-06-167 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-167 Other Written Product GAO-06-167; International Trade: USTR Would Benefit from Greater Use of Strategic Human Capital Management Principles; Federal employees Human capital Human capital management Human capital planning Internal controls Personnel management Strategic planning Public Law 108-136
