E1: Human Capital

Strategically manage HUD’s human capital to increase employee satisfaction and improve HUD performance.

Other Information:

This strategic objective stresses the importance HUD places on its most valuable resources, its employees, recognizing that it is only through their efforts that HUD’s mission will be carried out. HUD’s goals are to recruit, develop, and retain a workforce of employees renowned for professional leadership, management, and technical competency, while ensuring that they have opportunity to gain the widest possible ranges of skills and experiences. The eligibility of over half of HUD’s workforce for retirement over the next several years poses a significant challenge for HUD’s operations. As GAO has recognized, this retirement issue is a government-wide problem. HUD, however, views it as an opportunity to attract and develop anew cadre of employees to take on the future challenges of housing and community development. In the future, all employees of HUD will have the knowledge and skills to manage information effectively. The continued implementation of HUD’s Strategic Human Capital Management plan remains critical to the Department’s success in managing this invaluable resource and continuing to strengthen internal communications.
