(2)
establish specific actions the Secretary will take to achieve such strategic goals and priorities and address the workforce needs of the Food and Drug Administration in the forthcoming fiscal years;

Considerations
In developing each Food and Drug Administration Strategic Workforce Plan under subsection (a), the Secretary shall consider—

the number of employees (including senior leadership and non-senior leadership employees) eligible for retirement, the expertise of such employees, and the employing center of such employees;
(2)
the vacancy and turnover rates for employees with different types of expertise and from different centers, including any changes or trends related to such rates;

the results of the Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey for employees of the Food and Drug Administration, including any changes or trends related to such results;
(4)
rates of pay for different types of positions, including rates for different types of expertise within the same field (such as differences in pay between different medical specialists), and how such rates of pay impact the ability of the Secretary to achieve the strategic goals and priorities described in subsection (c);
(5)
the statutory hiring authorities used to hire Food and Drug Administration employees, and the time to hire across different hiring authorities; and
(6)
any other timely and relevant information, as the Secretary determines appropriate.

Each Food and Drug Administration Strategic Workforce Plan issued pursuant to subsection (a), with the exception of the first such Food and Drug Administration Strategic Workforce Plan, shall include an evaluation of—

the progress the Secretary has made, based on the performance measures, benchmarks, and other elements that measure successful recruitment, hiring, training, development, and retention activities; and
