REPORT BY THE



Comptroller General


OF THE UNITED STATES


Federal Work Force Planning:

Time For Renewed Emphasis





The size and cost of the Government--5 million
civilian and military employees costing $120
billion a year--is an issue that requires the
Congress and the executive branch to give
more attention to the methods and procedures
used to determine and manage human resource
needs. However, these work force planning
activities generally have a low priority.

Rising personnel costs and increasing com-
petition for limited funds make it essential
that work force requirements and personnel
management decisions be based on appropriate
and credible work force planning systems and
procedures. GAO recommends that the Office
of Management and Budget and the Office of
Personnel Management establish a Federal
policy and standards for work force planning
and encourage Federal agencies to make work
force planning an integral part of their overall
management planning systems. GAO recom-
mends also that a special work force planning
improvement project, insulated from the
traditional barriers to the development and
use of sound work force planning procedures,
be developed and tested in several Federal
facilities to demonstrate feasibility  and
benefits.
