3: Human Resources
Recruiting the Best Employees to Government Other Information:
The challenges facing this country are huge – whether keeping our homeland safe, restoring confidence in our financial system,
or ensuring adequate health care for our veterans. Agencies must attract, develop and engage the most talented and diverse
workforce possible in order to achieve the best for the American public. We have not always lived up to that goal. Sometimes
we miss out on potential employees because of a slow application and hiring process. Other times we lose talented employees
by not engaging them or recognizing their excellence. The Administration is addressing these problems in order to improve
mission performance, and this website shows progress on some of the key human resource initiatives underway. This site uses
data received from agencies by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) to provide the public with a virtual window into government-wide
progress in recruiting, hiring, engaging, and retaining high-performing employees.
