Five departments and agencies saw their human capital ratings go from green to yellow on the latest President's Management Agenda score card, but officials say those results are the product of rigorous reevaluations and new initiatives, rather than a decline in quality.
"I was looking back over the past years of the PMA and all the things we asked agencies to do, and it occurred to me it was a good time to step back and assess how well the human capital initiative was doing across agencies," said Kevin Mahoney, associate director for human capital leadership at the Office of Personnel Management. "What I was particularly interested in doing is figuring out if check marks agencies had earned earlier on could be substantiated.... We said we're going to spend the entire year re-validating every check mark on their score card."
