Strategic planning helps agencies like CDC sustain a workforce with the necessary education, skills, and competencies--human capital--to fulfill their missions. In September 2007, CDC released its Strategic Human Capital Management Plan (CDC Plan). GAO was asked to review CDC's human capital planning. GAO determined (1) whether the CDC Plan was designed to address the human capital challenges CDC faces; (2) the extent to which the CDC Plan is strategically aligned with agency goals, plans, and budget; and (3) the extent to which CDC incorporated GAO's principles for strategic human capital planning. To do so, GAO interviewed officials and analyzed data and documents. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-582/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-582.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-582/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-582.pdf GAO-08-582 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-582 Other Written Product GAO-08-582; Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: Human Capital Planning Has Improved, but Strategic View of Contractor Workforce Is Needed; Agency missions Contract administration Contract oversight Contractor personnel Contractors Demography Diversity management Employee retention Hiring policies Human capital Human capital management Human capital planning Knowledge, skills and abilities Performance measures Personnel recruiting Skilled labor Staff utilization Strategic planning GAO High Risk Series
