ECOMMENDATIONS
• The SEC continues to improve its use of data on OHR employee skills to “upgrade the
talent within the HR function,” as recommended in the BCG report. Strategic functions
OHR had not previously performed or had performed only on a limited basis (e.g., data
analytics, workforce planning, and compensation guidance) are now included in the new
organizational structure and will enable OHR to help managers understand the dynamics
of their current workforce, as well as plan for future workforce needs.
• To enable Divisions and Offices to quickly obtain specialized talent, OHR is creating a
policy and process for using the Excepted Service Hiring Authority (ESHA) in
appropriate circumstances.
• OHR is updating and developing new hiring policies to ensure consistency across HR
practices. These hiring policies will be used by OHR managers to convert complex
hiring authorities and civil service laws into practicable processes. They will also serve
as a resource for employees and managers, thereby reducing inquiries to OHR and
enabling staff to focus on core mission responsibilities.
• SEC University (SECU) piloted a competency and skills database in OHR. The purpose
of the database is to identify employees with unique skills (e.g., foreign language
fluency) not typically associated with their current job roles that may be utilized as needs
arise for them. The intent is to reduce the SEC’s reliance on outside contracting support
by better leveraging internal talent. Next steps include assessing the pilot and rolling it
out to other Divisions and Offices of the SEC.
• OHR has continued to expand its training in the following core competency courses:
writing, presentation, project management, SharePoint training, and specific mission-
related topics (e.g., FINRA Series 24, audit sampling, asset backed securities). In the
first quarter of FY13, SECU offered 196 learning events to 6,344 participants, and
conducted assessments for 75 supervisors and managers.
• OHR has made further progress with its business process re-engineering (BPR) project,
launched in August 2012, to streamline its business practices and many of its internal
processes. OHR is coordinating closely with the SEC Office of Information Technology
