Inspection / Evaluation
Description
The Office of the Inspector General previously conducted an evaluation of the Human Resources (HR) organization (Evaluation Report 2016-15445-05 issued September 26, 2017) to identify operational and cultural strengths and risks that could impact HR’s organizational effectiveness. Our report identified several strengths and risks along with recommendations for addressing those risks. The objective of this follow-up evaluation was to assess management’s actions to address the risks included in our initial organizational effectiveness evaluation. We determined HR has taken actions to address some of the risks outlined in our initial organizational effectiveness evaluation. However, issues related to (1) differences between the Human Resource generalist (HRG) and senior HRG roles; (2) execution risks, including the HRG transition to a more strategic role, employee feedback mechanism, and role clarity; and (3) ethical and inclusion concerns remain unresolved.
