Human Resources Management Consortium
Consortium Events - HR Directors Series

On June 3, 2004, the National Academy of Public Administration hosted a luncheon for Human Resources Management Consortium HR Directors to present Recommending Performance-Based Federal Pay. This report is the third in a series of reports that NAPA has released on Broadbanding. The report recommends a new government wide pay system to replace the General Schedule. It recommends a framework of salary bands aligned with market pay levels and occupational career ladders. Agencies would have the flexibility to manage salaries within the bands to accomplish their missions and human capital plans. To view the presentation to the Consortium, please click here.

On May 6, 2004, The Academy's Human Resources Management Consortium hosted an HR Directors Series Luncheon meeting to present the final report and recommendations of our 2-year study "The 21st Century Federal Manager."

This interactive seminar was open to the Consortium's Human Resources Directors or their designees. The goal was to obtain thoughts on ways to implement the findings and recommendations of the project, and how to overcome obstacles and impediments associated with implementing a comprehensive, systematic leader succession and development program.

Four main topics were discussed:

  • Getting and sustaining top level commitment in view of rapid turnover of political appointees
  • Understanding the new profile of manager/leader roles, behaviors, qualities, characteristics (competencies)
  • Paying more attention to front-line supervisors -selection, development, performance.
  • Roadmap: Suggest Strategies & Actions for a Complete System to Identify and Develop Leadership Corps

The respondents made suggestions regarding the issues above, and brainstormed possible problems that would prevent those suggestions from being carried out. To read the full transcript of questions posed and responses elicited using the groupware technology, please click here.

On April 23, 2003, the Academy's Center for Human Resources Management hosted its quarterly HR Directors Series Luncheon at which attendees discussed the second report of the five-report series, The 21st Century Federal Manager. The second report--First-Line Supervisors in the Federal Service: Their Selection, Development and Management--was issued in March 2003. It found that the approximately 125,000 first-line supervisors represent the government's most significant corporate asset. Yet, with some exceptions, federal agencies do an inadequate job of managing this corporate asset. Click here to view a presentation that highlights key findings and recommendations.

At the luncheon, the study team discussed its methodology and approach for the third report, which will focus on mid-level managers and executives. The report will be completed in May 2003. To review an outline, please click here.
