Elevating Federal HR: From Transactional Doers to Strategic Value Creators (Webinar)

Are you an HR leader who feels stuck in administrative silos and is seeking ways to contribute at a higher level? Federal HR professionals operate under unique constraints, including OPM guidelines, merit system principles, and budget limitations. This webinar invites participants to explore how to move beyond these constraints while staying aligned with agency missions and navigating evolving federal workforce challenges such as talent retention, expanding missions, and digital transformation.

Join Kristin Aurelia, an HR and Leadership instructor at Graduate School USA, for a webinar that focuses on positioning HR as a strategic partner in the federal government. HR professionals often balance complex regulations, compliance requirements, and mission-driven priorities. This session emphasizes a critical shift from routine “doing” (such as processing paperwork, managing recruitments, and ensuring compliance) to “being” a proactive leader who influences organizational strategy, fosters innovation, and delivers measurable value.

Whether you are currently in an HR leadership role or emerging into one, this webinar will provide practical insight into how you can add strategic value through data-driven insights, talent strategy, and cross-functional partnerships—leading to stronger resource allocation and improved outcomes in government settings.
