Bringing Digital Transformation to Government HR
All levels of government—from federal agencies all the way down to cities, towns, and territories—are facing an ongoing struggle to replenish the ranks of their employees as they retire or move on to other jobs, either within government or the private sector. Agencies face increasing pressure to hire, train and retain employees just to keep pace with the growing number of retirements.
Compounding the issue is the complexity of the governmental hiring process. Many of the most attractive candidates for a position wind up taking jobs in the private sector just because they did not get a decision fast enough from an agency. Recognizing the need to improve government hiring, in August OPM released M-24-16, outlining the opportunities for agencies to efficiently secure the next workforce generation.
Hear from HR leaders across the public and private sectors as they explore the steps agencies can take to meet the memo's goals for improving candidate experience, modernizing hiring practices, and reducing bottlenecks. This webinar will offer practical insights into how the Federal Government can adopt agile, technology-enabled hiring strategies that attract top talent and drive efficiency.
Learning Objectives:
- Explore approaches to strengthen workforce planning, recruitment, and hiring by utilizing enterprise-level data and analytics.
- Understand key strategies for improving the applicant journey, from application to onboarding, to ensure a seamless and user-friendly experience for candidates.
- Discuss ways to simplify hiring processes, reduce HR burden, and implement effective assessment methods that increase hiring flexibility and the number of qualified selections per action.
