Why it Matters
“It is not at all clear how government can be well executed unless it is able to compete more effectively for its fair share of talent.”
“Government is always going to be able to fill vacancies. The important question is whether we can fill them with talented and committed people with the skills we need.”
”In the globalization system … One of the most important and enduring competitive advantages that a country can have today is a lean, efficient, honest civil service system.”
![Page 3: Meeting the Challenge: Attracting and Retaining a World-Class Work Force 1. Overview and Framework rlavigna@ourpublicservice.org](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070323/56649d995503460f94a83e5d/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Why it Matters
“Don’t give me excuses, just make the hiring process work!”
“In the government, you get an order and you follow it. I realize that as a leader, I need to be more creative and innovative.”
“By the end of the day I felt I had made a terrible mistake … My agency lost its shine on my first day.”
“The challenge is to attract and retain people who are a cut above the competition. You need to provide benefits, good working conditions, and an environment that caters to their personal needs and business needs. That’s a tough balance.”

The Hiring Process -- What Job Candidates are Saying
“The overall feel of the vacancy announcement is negative and heavy handed. If the application is like this, what’s it like to work there and why would you want to?”
“Don’t give me excuses, just make the hiring process work!”
![Page 53: Meeting the Challenge: Attracting and Retaining a World-Class Work Force 1. Overview and Framework rlavigna@ourpublicservice.org](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070323/56649d995503460f94a83e5d/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
How to Alienate Good Candidates
Use long, bureaucratic, boring announcements
Use paper-based applications
Take too much time hiring
Conduct bad interviews
Don’t communicate with them
![Page 54: Meeting the Challenge: Attracting and Retaining a World-Class Work Force 1. Overview and Framework rlavigna@ourpublicservice.org](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070323/56649d995503460f94a83e5d/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
1. Be concise, use fewer words, get to the point
2. Tell me exactly what you need -- I have no idea what your jobs are looking for
3. Let me apply online using my résumé
4. Tell me in plain language -- get rid of jargon
5. Tell me when I will hear from you
6. We want to hear from you. We can take bad news -- just tell us!

Why it Matters
“It is not at all clear how government can be well executed unless it is able to compete more effectively for its fair share of talent.”
“HR must give value or give notice.”
“If line managers and HR professionals are to be the champions of organizational capability, then a new agenda for both HR practices and HR professionals must emerge.”
![Page 123: Meeting the Challenge: Attracting and Retaining a World-Class Work Force 1. Overview and Framework rlavigna@ourpublicservice.org](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070323/56649d995503460f94a83e5d/html5/thumbnails/123.jpg)
HR Evolving -- Splitting in Two
Administrative and transactional work -- increasingly automated or outsourced
Transformational work -- helps develop organizational goals, determines what capabilities are needed and creates HR practices

The Current Reality
Very little change in how HR spends its time
Instead of playing a central strategic business partner role, HR has responded by maintaining status quo

What’s HR’s Mission?
Implement a system of personnel administration which will ensure equitable treatment of employees through a merit system based on recognized princ1ples of appointment, promotion, classification, termination and other aspects of government employment.
Plan, organize and implement pre-service training, in-service and federal programs to rehabilitate, upgrade, and enhance the skills and work performances of all employees thus promoting self-reliance, dependability and enhance competencies in the quality services for the public.
