DOD Financial Management: Action Needed to Enhance Workforce Planning : Government Accountability Office (GAO) , October , 2024
From the document: "Strategic workforce planning focuses on using long-term strategies to acquire, develop, and retain an organization’s total workforce to meet the needs of the future. When done effectively, strategic workforce planning can help the Department of Defense (DOD) determine its financial management needs, deploy strategies to address skill gaps, and contribute to results.
DOD’s financial management workforce planning policies and associated processes, practices, and activities were generally consistent with three of the five principles: (1) involving top management, staff members, and other stakeholders in developing, communicating, and implementing the strategic workforce plan; (2) supporting workforce planning strategies that use existing human capital flexibilities; and (3) monitoring and evaluating progress toward human capital goals. For example, to support workforce planning strategies, DOD uses incentives, recruitment initiatives, hiring flexibilities, and a financial management certification program.
DOD was partially consistent with principles on determining critical skills needed and developing strategies to address skill gaps."
