Human Capital Reviews (HCRs) are annual, evidence-based reviews conducted between the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Act agencies that allow agency human capital leaders to discuss the implementation and execution of human capital goals, including risks, barriers, and successful practices. These reviews serve as an opportunity for OPM to provide feedback and share best practices with agencies while identifying cross-cutting human capital challenges.

Overview

In March, April, and May 2023, OPM completed HCRs with all 24 CFO Act agencies for Fiscal Year 2023 (FY2023). Through HCR discussions and related recent engagements, OPM identified trends, challenges, leading practices, and in some cases, what agencies would like to see OPM provide in the future. The results of the discussions and engagements are organized by the four Government-wide topics: 

1. Workforce Planning and Analysis
2. Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA)
3. Evaluation System Development
4. Innovation

Additionally, OPM invited agencies to submit their own HCR agenda items.  Major topic areas included data driven decision-making, DEIA, evaluation, human capital best practices and knowledge sharing, human capital as a strategic partner, learning, organizational development, performance culture, recruitment and outreach, and workforce planning.
