The Department of Energy is working to bring more AI into its talent management strategy, per two officials with leadership positions in the agency.<\/p>\n

DOE has set its sights on AI-enabled self-service features, helping employees find what they are looking for faster. Using AI to align learning opportunities with the workers that need them is another priority. The agency plans to explore these use cases over the next three to six months.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The interest in artificial intelligence additions follows what the agency is characterizing as a successful HR modernization project that consolidated talent management platforms and access to related data.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe thing I\u2019m most excited about is having all that within one centralized system,\u201d John Walsh, DOE\u2019s chief learning officer and director of the Office of Workforce Technology and Development, said during a FedScoop-produced event Tuesday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

DOE tapped Workday Government for the HR modernization initiative. The talent and human capital management platform went live about six months ago. Since then, the Energy Department has garnered 14,000 unique visitors across its custom dashboards and 5,000 unique instances of workers pulling personnel reports, according to Walsh.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve had some challenges, of course, with change management and getting people used to working and doing things in a different platform than what they\u2019ve been used to,\u201d Walsh said. \u201cIt\u2019s only going to get better, it\u2019s only going to get more efficient and we\u2019re only going to see steady increases.\u201d<\/p>\n

The HR modernization comes amid broader efforts to centralize federal agencies\u2019 talent platforms. The White House and Office of Personnel Management announced its Federal HR 2.0 project in December, laying out a two-year transition plan for agencies to move to a single core HCM platform.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cAgencies are expected to pause their own Core HCM procurement, development, and related modernization projects,\u201d…<\/p>\n
