Who Will Lead Us? Hiring and Developing Tomorrow's Federal Leadership

Reducing Time to Hire in Federal Government
Webcast:As an employer, our national government is competitive with the private sector on many fronts: among others it offers stability, meaningful work, and leadership development. One area where it loses to private employers is on the time it takes between applying for a job and getting hired.
In this webcast, we'll hear about how government agencies can work to reduce that time from the Office of Personnel Management. We'll also hear about specific initiatives currently underway at Department of Defense, Acquisition, Technology and Logistics, currently charged with growing their workforce by 15% in the next five years. more »
Modernizing Staffing in Federal Government
Webcast:Sourcing, selecting, and hiring a workforce has become incredibly complicated across government landscapes. Human capital leaders must negotiate complexities like employment type, oversight committees, cumbersome regulatory requirements, and citizen expectations; all without compromising mission integrity.
Truly, new tools and processes will need to be adapted in order for Government to make the transformation bringing its talent acquisition processes and systems into the 21st century. A national challenge for all Government offices - is how to stay competitive in the labor market and how to brand oneself to compete against more recognizable companies in the private sector. How can government win the war for high performing talent? This will require significant changes in leadership culture and attitude, systems and technology, and accountability and metrics. more »
College Recruiting and the Federal Government: A Partnership for Success
Webcast:According to the Partnership for Public Service, in a recent study on how federal agencies can meet this challenge, "Changes in the economy may be driving shifts in public perceptions about what constitutes an ideal workplace, potentially creating new opportunities for some employers to bring in top talent, including the nation's largest employer: our federal government."
What exactly do today's college students want from a potential employer? How can federal agencies and departments promote their competitive advantage on campus? We'll discuss those questions, and more, in this webcast. more »
Designing and Implementing an Employment Image: Federal Talent Branding
Webcast:Energized, enthusiastic and talented people want to join your agency or department. They are passionate philanthropists. And they have friends and colleagues to refer for other job opportunities. To attract top talent to your organization and move toward President Obama's stated goal of the government becoming a 'preferred employer' you need a talent brand.
Communicating an employment image not only serves to describe the who, what and why to job seekers, but to the general public as well. This brand should be integrated into your overall agency/department's image. We'll discuss the process for designing and implementing a talent brand into a federal agency in this webcast. more »
Who Will Lead Us? Hiring and Developing Tomorrow's Federal Leadership
Webcast:It's an unprecedented time in U.S. history: the number of federal leaders and managers who will retire in the next several years will exceed the number of qualified candidates ready to replace them, according to the Partnership for Public Service. While this statistic is not unique to the federal sector, the quality of the federal government's leadership bench significantly lags that of the private sector. In fact, employees in the federal sector are twice as likely as their counterparts in private industry to report that their supervisors do not have the leadership skills needed to do their jobs effectively. If our federal government does not work to remedy this crisis, its performance will suffer dramatically.
Coaching and developing leaders is certainly part of the solution. Another factor is instituting an acquisition plan designed to hire talented individuals now that have potential for managerial positions later. In this webcast, we will hear from Tom Fox, Director of the Partnership for Public Service Annenberg Leadership Institute, on the subject of hiring and developing our nation's next leaders. more »
