The Workforce Is Constantly Changing and HR Is, Too

Human capital management has changed a lot in the last few years. A new generation entering the workforce, a presidential transition and, of course, the COVID-19 pandemic have made the job that much harder. Representation, performance management and other aspects of workforce management are changing, forcing government’s HR officials to keep up.

As part of Government Executive Media Group’s Workforce Summit event recently, GovExec Daily host Ross Gianfortune spoke to two senior human capital leaders: Jessica Palatka, the Director of Human Resource Management and Chief Human Capital Officer at the Department of Commerce, and Erin Moore, who serves as the Chief Human Capital Officer for the Department of Energy. They talked about the challenges and opportunities in human capital management.
