I'm the project manager for several federal government-wide initiatives to help our federal HR specialists transform themselves from paper processing, case managing, policy police into consultants, change agents, and strategic business partners. I'm interested in hearing about any programs, processes, tools, or resources that you HR specialists out there (especially those in the public sector) use(d) or can recommend to help me to help our federal HR specialists prepare themselves to take on new roles and responsibilities. I'm also willing to share information about my project.

depending on the agency and specific circumstances, I suggest a six month to one year assignment out of HR into a line function, to understand how the agency works from the bottom up and the real problems in the "field." Taht way, the HR staff person can be a more effective change angent when he or she returns to HR operations!
You sound like you have an interesting challenge. Good luck. |

My $.02 from recently retired federal HR Director in the field for 32 yrs
I totally agree that the transformation is needed-(but regulatory compliance is still a requirement and someone is going to have to do it) Agree with the comment from Hatchetman - HR Specialists do need to understand operating issues. My experience indicates that most federal supervisors and managers are not prepared or motivated to assume their HR management responsibilities. In addition to transforming the role of the HR Specialist, I would recommend actions to transform and hold accountable federal supervisors and managers including * reinstituting minimum supervisory training requirements for new supervisors * requiring all HR Specialist and Supervisors/managers to complete specified training * meaningful/measurable/enforceable HR management performance measures for managers/supervisors |
