This report features a synthesis of findings from publicly avail-able RAND Corporation reports funded by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) pertaining to knowledge worker talent management published since 2013—when its report on improving the diversity of the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) science, technology, engineer-ing, and mathematics (STEM) workforce and a related report on the implementation of DoD’s diversity and inclusion strategic plan were released—through mid-2020. Findings are mapped on to four pillars of talent management: build and organize, train and develop, manage and motivate performance, and promote and retain the right talent. The report also identifies potentially overlooked topics and opportu-nities for future research. It should primarily be of interest to DoD personnel involved with civilian manpower/personnel policy issues but also of value to personnel from other government agencies whose responsibilities include talent management.
