TitleKey Components of a Strategic Human Capital Plan
ShortDescriptionThe report identifies key components of a strategic human capital plan, and resources for developing one.
LongDescriptionA central pillar in the strategic management of human capital is the alignment of human capital strategies with agency mission, goals, and objectives through analysis, planning, investment, and the management of human capital programs. Human capital planning is the method by which an agency designs a coherent framework of human capital policies, programs, and practices to achieve a shared vision integrated with the agency's strategic plan. Implementation of the strategic human capital plan is a critical step in an agency's progress to build a highly effective, performance-based organization by recruiting, acquiring, motivating, and rewarding a high-performing, top quality workforce. The plan becomes the roadmap for continuous improvement and the framework for transforming the culture and operations of the agency. This report identifies and describes key components of a strategic human capital plan, outlines the need for clearly understanding strategic direction in defining a strategic human capital plan, demonstrates how a strategic direction helps identify human capital goals, shows ways in which strategies/objectives describe how the goals will be accomplished, and introduces an implementation plan and accountability system. Also include are resources with sample strategic human capital plans.
