Summary:

As the agency responsible for the federal government's human capital initiatives, the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) must have the capacity to successfully guide human capital transformations necessary to meet the governance challenges of the 21st century. Given this key role, GAO was asked to assess OPM's capacity to lead further reforms. In June 2006, GAO testified on several management challenges that OPM faces. This report--the second in a series--supplements that testimony and, using the new senior executive performance-based pay system as a model for understanding OPM's capacity to lead and implement reform, identifies lessons learned that can inform future reforms. GAO analyzed relevant laws and documents, and obtained views from the Chief Human Capital Officers (CHCO) Council and human resource directors, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) staff, and OPM officials. The congressionally authorized senior executive performance-based pay system, implemented in 2004, provides an opportunity to learn from experiences gained and apply those lessons to the design and implementation of future human capital reforms. Under the performance-based system, before an agency can receive the new pay flexibilities, OPM, with concurrence from OMB, must certify that the agency's appraisal system meets certain criteria. OPM is likely to play a similar leadership and oversight role for future reforms.
