Intended to help Federal agency leaders better manage their organizations' most important asset -- their people. Federal agencies that acquire, develop, and retain high performing employees with the appropriate skills and competencies are better able to respond to the needs of the public on a daily basis and in times of crisis. This model is designed to help agency leaders effectively use their people, or human capital, and determine how well they integrate human capital considerations into daily decision-making and planning. The model highlights the importance of a sustained commitment by agency leaders to maximize the value of their agencies' human capital and manage related risks.
