Human Capital SIG 

Overview
Strategic human capital management is one of the key priorities of the President's Management Agenda. It is critical to an agencies mission because over 50% of federal employees are eligible to retire in the next 5 years.  Federal agencies are moving toward the use of technology tools to manage human resources in many ways, including but not limited to personnel folder/records, training and recruiting. They also need technology tools to help them streamline their processes and reduce HR support costs. Five of the 24 eGov initiatives touch on human resources issues including eTraining, Enterprise HR integration, USA jobs, ePayroll and eClearance.
