To support the Clerk’s Call to Action to eliminate anti-Black racism and the government’s commitment to sponsor Black employees and support career mobility, BEN/REN is leading the creation of a government-wide talent management tool for Black employees. The profiles are compiled and included in an e-Binder to demonstrate the depth and breadth of Black employees who are ready for advancement and promotion and to help inform succession planning, support talent mobility, and increase the representation of Black individuals in the federal workforce. It aims to remove barriers stemming from the racial stereotypes and correct misperceptions around  a shortage of Black talent or that Black talent is difficult to find. Further, it would also help Black employees who lack managerial experience or are experiencing the career impacts of systemic barriers  by introducing their profile to other managers looking to hire talent.

These profiles are meant to provide senior management and human resources officials with a line of sight on individuals that can be talent managed to the next level in order to support the recruitment of new directors (EX-01) and the EX-01 feeder groups through profiling the qualifications, accomplishments, leadership results and career ambitions of each individual.
