PURPOSE
Within the next few years, the first
wave of baby-boomers will be reaching the retirement age. In fact, 30%
of the Federal workforce will be eligible to retire in five years and
an additional 20% could seek early retirement. However, that does not
mean that 50% of the workforce will leave at once. But it does mean that
agencies must start planning for the workforce of the future.
The Human Resource Management Council
and the Office of Personnel Management know how important it is for agencies
to begin their workforce planning efforts now. Therefore, the HRMC and
OPM have designed a Workforce Planning Model for the Federal Government.
Our goal is to ensure that Federal agencies have the information and tools
necessary to devise successful workforce plans. As promised at our September
7, 2000 Workforce Planning Conference, we have developed this HRMC/OPM
workforce planning web-site to provide up-to-date information on this
vital issue.
If you are involved with workforce
planning at your agency please bookmark this site.
