Talent Development: Capitalizing on the Full Potential of Personnel to Drive Organizational Excellence

Federal organizations face significant challenges in today’s competitive job market; the recruitment and retainment of employees has become progressively harder with the increase in availability of private sector jobs that often offer higher compensation and established opportunities for career mobility. These difficulties are compounded by agencies’ outmoded approaches to performance management, which undermine employee engagement, leading to decreased job satisfaction and increased attrition rates.

In the 2019 Office of Personnel Management (OPM) Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey (FEVS), employee dissatisfaction with federal performance management efforts are some of the lowest levels of agreement.

It is critical for organizations to develop and implement comprehensive Talent Management strategies designed to meet evolving mission goals and optimize employee performance through unified people management practices. They should take steps to preserve institutional knowledge, keep organizations nimble enough to respond to evolving demands, and base workforce decisions on sound evidence.
