Federal Property Management Workforce: Maintaining the Force Property Management Executive Committee November 14, 2007
Agenda • Importance of the PMEC Workforce Initiative • Activities leading to the PMEC Initiative • Objectives of the PMEC Initiative • Next Steps
About the Importance of the Initiative • The GAO has put human capital • management on its “high-risk” list of the most pressing challenges facing our government • Recent surveys show that human capital is the number one concern of federal CFOs, CIOs and procurement officials
About the importance of the Initiative • Agency personal property inventories are large, mobile, increasingly complex and growing • Property management role is shifting from conventional-process to results-oriented agency advisor • PMW Retirement trend is at tipping point • A Perfect Storm?
The creation of the staffing pressures • 1990s hiring freezes and reductions in force set the stage • Property, Human Resources and Acquisition Corps had few champions during downsizing • Impending retirement wave of federal property managers (too many retirement eligible managers and inexperienced new hires, with too few in the middle ranks) • 2007, Property Management still viewed in some circles as a non-critical, soft skilled profession
About the importance of the initiative • The Retirement Wave*: Year Total 2007 3.9% 2012 23.3% 2016 37.3% *Source: OPM, projections for FTE employees as of 10/01/06.
Vision for the Future • A workforce that is recruited, trained, and groomed for the leadership positions of today and tomorrow • A workforce able to think and act strategically and link property management to agency goals and objectives • A workforce with acumen in: business, market expertise, economics, and comfort with innovation and technology
Activities to Date • 2003 - comprehensive ICPM study focused on competencies, training, and workforce compositions • 2005 - four-agency task group narrowed focus to hiring and retention • 2007 – PMEC ranked workforce a top priority
Objectives of the Initiative • Raise awareness of issue (e.g., GSA bulletin, OFPP policy letter) • Promote existing hiring options: > direct hiring authority > waiver of dual compensation restrictions • Partner with CHCO, CFO, CIO, CAO communities to leverage support
Moving Forward Toward the Next Administration • PMEC must keep personal property management at the front and center • Develop priority list for incoming OMB • Model personal property workforce challenges after Real Property, CHCO and CAO communities
