Potential governmentwide human capital reform and likely requirements that the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) assist, guide, and ultimately certify agencies' readiness to implement reforms, raise important questions about OPM's capacity to successfully fulfill its central role. This testimony addresses management challenges that could affect OPM's ability to lead governmentwide human capital reform efforts. To assess these challenges, GAO analyzed OPM's 2002 and 2004 Federal Human Capital Survey (FHCS) results, data from its 2005 follow-up focus group discussions, OPM's May 2006 action plans to address employee concerns, and OPM's associate directors' fiscal year 2006 executive performance contracts. GAO also conducted interviews with OPM senior officials and Chief Human Capital Officers (CHCO) and human resource directors from CHCO Council agencies. In commenting on a draft of this statement, the OPM Director said that OPM has addressed many of the challenges highlighted from the 2004 FHCS and achieved many meaningful and important results. GAO agrees and believes OPM should continue to build upon its progress to date. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-861T/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-861T.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-861T/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-861T.pdf GAO-06-861T https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-861T Testimony GAO-06-861T; Office of Personnel Management: OPM Is Taking Steps to Strengthen Its Internal Capacity for Leading Human Capital Reform; Agency missions Human capital Human capital management Internal controls Performance management Performance measures Staff utilization Strategic planning Surveys 2002 Federal Human Capital Survey 2004 Federal Human Capital Survey
