The Human Resources Technology Council (HRTC) supports OPMs interest in ensuring
that agencies are able to make the best and most cost-effective use of automation to
achieve human resource management objectives. The HRTC is responsible for crafting a
long-term strategic vision and goals for human resource management Governmentwide,
particularly as it relies on automation to accomplish these goals. (This goal incorporates
actions covered by ES Goal 3 & ES
Goal 4 in the FY 1999 plan.)
 |
|
Co-chair the HRTC with OPMs Chief Information Officer,
convene regular meetings, and provide administrative support. |
|
Ensure that a high level of participation continues through
FY 2000 by addressing topics that are relevant and important to the HRTC members and their
respective agency missions. |
|
Through the HRTC, conduct and coordinate Governmentwide HR
automation studies, such as the recently completed Governmentwide HR Information Systems
Study and the ongoing Virtual Human Resources Data Repository (subgoal 2a) and share
results of these studies to foster improvements in HR management. |
|
Develop Governmentwide policy for cooperative
business process redesign and systems modernization based on HRTC studies and analyses. |
|
Use feedback from the HRTC members and other
agencies as a tool for assessing policy effectiveness. |
|
With HRTC support, encourage small agencies to
establish consortia or other mechanisms to enable these agencies to benefit from
automation advances. |
|
Provide assistance to small agencies seeking to
modernize their HR processing system(s) by offering access to a Government compliant,
client-server based, HR processing system. Access would be offered through OPMs
"HR Host" service on a reimbursable basis to agencies interested in such
service. |

 |
|
Satisfaction of HRTC members with the results of
HRTC studies and services, and their opportunity for involvement in the Council policy
making will increase over FY 1999 or maintain at 90%, as measured by the annual OPM
Customer Satisfaction Survey. The HRTC members baseline satisfaction levels as
measured by the FY 1998 survey were as follows:
| |
|
Policy
Leadership |
|
Opportunity
for Involvement |
| HR Systems Automation |
|
64% |
|
82% |
Governmentwide HR Infor.
Systems Study (1998) |

Actions are initiated as a result of HRTC policy
discussions. During FY 1998, the HRTC delivered to the Presidents Management
Council a Governmentwide study on HR systems requirements and a review of current legacy
and new developing systems in all major departments and agencies. This critically
acclaimed study has been widely disseminated and is the basis for follow-on work during FY
1999 and 2000. These actions include development of a strategy with OPM on electronic data
record-keeping and reporting; an occupational analysis of IT positions; working with the
Joint Financial Management Improvement Program (JFMIP) on finalization of payroll
requirements; and research on best practices in the public and private sectors in human
resource automation. |

ES Subgoal 2a:
FY 1999/2000 |
As co-chair of the Human Resources Technology
Council (HRTC), ES will support and assist other OPM organizations to begin the delivery
of the initial capabilities that implement the Governmentwide vision of a Virtual Human
Resources Data Repository. [See OCIO Goal 2a under Administrative Services tab for Means
and Indicators]. |
| ES Subgoal 2b: |
Under direction of the Human Resources
Technology Council (HRTC), human resources information flow between agencies, OPM, and
other relevant parties is improved through an expanded centralized delivery mechanism
("data hub"). |
