A new GAO report on workforce planning in the federal government illustrates several critical components of effective forecasting that profiled agencies are tackling, with varying degrees of success. These include:

1. Aligning workforce planning with strategic plans and budgets

2. Involving managers and other stakeholders in the forecasting process

3. Creating workforce plans that focus on critical roles, occupations, and skills

The release of the report coincides nicely with Inform’s Federal Government Workforce Planning Symposium, being held next Wednesday (April 21st) at the Capital Hilton hotel in Washington, DC. This complimentary breakfast session features government speakers and facilitated discussion on implementing systematic workforce plans that can address forecasted retirements,*changing*agency missions, and the impact of technology on job design and staff needs.
