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

Broadcast on February 17, 2026

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. Key Takeaways Understand the value of shifting from “doing” to “being” in order to remain relevant and become a strategic value creator. Recognize why cross-functional partnerships are critical to HR and organizational success. Explore emerging needs for strategic HR input amid shifting priorities, skill gaps, and policy challenges. Learn how to leverage tools such as analytics and AI to forecast workforce needs while maintaining the human touch.

I never realized how much it (NLP) taught me and helped me grow professionally. It (NLP) taught me so much about working with employees and how to handle, let’s say “problem ones.” The contacts from the program have also benefited me in many ways.
