The Future of the Workforce

Our vision is a diverse, agile, and engaged workforce with the right skills to enable agency mission-delivery.

OPM’s commitment to the federal Government is…..

Policy and Resources: Develop policies and resources to support agencies during the transition to a more hybrid work environment.

Research and Evaluation: Conduct research to investigate and memorialize lessons learned from the pandemic, identify leading practices, and determine how the Federal Government can remain competitive with other sectors.

Training and Technical Assistance: Provide training and technical assistance to help agencies make strategic decisions, manage their workforce, and prepare for the future state.

Data Analytics: Support agencies with the necessary data and tools to improve our ability to make data-driven human capital decisions.

Stakeholder Engagement: Engage Stakeholders to learn, share best practices, validate future workforce needs and champion the government as a model employer.

OPM collaborated with agency Chief Human Capital Officers (CHCOs) and developed a vison for the future of the workforce: We envision a Federal government with a workforce of the future that is inclusive, agile, and engaged, with the right skills to enable mission delivery.

We are adding three new data elements that agencies and shared service providers (SSP) will be required to code for each employee.
