Talent Acquisition and Diversity's Organizational Effectiveness

The Office of the Inspector General conducted a review of Talent Acquisition and Diversity (TAD) to identify strengths and risks that could impact TAD's organizational effectiveness. Our evaluation identified strengths within TAD related to (1) organizational alignment, (2) collaboration, (3) support from TAD management, and (4) department morale and ethics. However, we also identified potential risks that could negatively affect the achievement of the mission. These risks include (1) the potential for increased noncompliance risk due to (a) the use of social media in the recruitment process and (b) no documentation requirements for hiring interns, (2) talent acquisition process inefficiencies, and (3) the potential for ineffective inclusion metrics and programs.
