3 How the Army Tracks Indicators Risk Reduction Program (RRP) Continuous monitoring of indicators Various data sources and tools for staff and commanders Sharing of data across the multidisciplined initiatives From FY07 to FY08 we did observe upward trends in Suicide, Substance Abuse, Motorcycle Accidents/Fatalities, and Divorces; however, not all indicators trended up 05/24/ :17 3

4 Initiatives National Recruiting campaign for drug and alcohol counselors Improved Risk Reduction program increased sharing of information between Clinical, Non-clinical support and Troop commanders Pilot test of Confidential Self-Referrals for Substance Abuse Integration of data, analysis, and trend information to inform Health Promotion, Risk Reduction and Suicide Prevention efforts Synchronization of Human Capital/Human Resources policies and programs across the Army Staff and Field Commands BOSS SHARP; Strong Bonds (Building Healthy Relationships); and eight other Army Staff task force efforts Directed training for Soldiers and leaders on an annual basis and standardized training for gatekeepers across all components Sustaining the All-Volunteer Force is our first priority 05/24/ :17 4

9 The Army s Challenge Sustaining an All-Volunteer Force in an era of persistent conflict Providing programs and services in support of Soldiers on installations, deployed, or geographically dispersed and their Families Capturing indicators that permit us to inform and execute proactive intervention strategies 05/24/ :17 9

10 Vision: Build, Improve and Preserve America s Army A force of the highest quality Soldiers and Civilians who: Reflect the best of America s people; Embody the best of America s Values; Best Protect America s Freedoms Strategic Question How do we best provide the right person with the right skills in the right place at the right time? Objectives Questions How do we best acquire the right person? How do we best ensure the right skills? How do we best determine the right place? How do we best establish the right time? How do we best enrich our people? Imperatives Recruit/retain/train diverse, high-quality, talented, Soldiers and Civilians Effective and efficient delivery of personnel and HR services Provide trained and ready manpower in support of ARFORGEN Ensure competitive QoL for Soldiers, Civilians and Families Develop collaborative, resilient, adaptive Leaders across the force Objectives Better inform and influence the requirements process to create predictable and achievable personnel requirements that enable FSO Improve the quality and precision of accessions and retained Total Force. Assure growing opportunity and diversity while meeting identified requirements Improve access to the Total Army and precision of distribution of the right person with the right skills at the right place and at the right time Increase adaptability of the workforce and decrease individual competency gaps Manage the Army s military and Civilian talent to benefit both the institution and the individual HCE Metrics Increase individual readiness to increase unit readiness Advance the well-being of the Total Army and Families to improve Soldier and Civilian Readiness Improve retention of desired competencies and diversity through Continuum of Service 05/24/ :17 10

11 Soldier, Civilian, and Family Indicator Dashboard Beta testing: July 2009 Baseline period 24 Indicators grouped by Career, Indiscipline, Readiness Stressors,and Soldier and Family Life (TAB B): 3 rd Qtr FY07 to 3 rd Qtr FY09 Indicator status based on change from standard deviation of last five quarters (nine quarters available), established goals or metrics, or established subjectively where appropriate. Provides more frequent (quarterly) updates of trends, previously monitored on an annual basis, and supports a more proactive intervention strategy 05/24/ :17 11

13 Where are we going? Key Strategic Questions: Are the Army s efforts preserving, maintaining, and improving the health, morale, and well-being of the Total Army? Are the programs/efforts consistent, available, changing behaviors? Do HCE policies, procedures and practices create and maintain stability and predictability for Soldiers and Families? Ten key behaviors baseline dependent on availability of data. Updates as of 3 rd Qtr, FY09. Expanded Data Set Interactive tool Expanded to include violent crimes Internet accessible Limited distribution Manual, intensive Accountability - Rest of the Story Web-based, wide availability Auto-populating, frequent updates Links systemic outputs and human behaviors Leverage emerging integrated data systems January 2007 July 2009 March /24/ :17 13

14 Risk Analysis Profile (Future) Capability Task: To assess systems and behaviors and provide a situational awareness tool for commanders, staff, and leaders that depicts the health of the force. Purpose: Provide a set of metrics (leading and lagging) that support an assessment of issues facing Soldiers, Civilians, Families, and Survivors. Objectives: Provide a dashboard with program measures of effectiveness that supports a risk reduction program and identifies and tracks objectives and stretch goals. Assess current metrics and develop an integrated risk analysis profile. Task organize to provide required capability for analysis and recommendations. Develop a framework for common operating picture Create situational awareness to support intervention strategies. Help Soldiers, Commanders, and staff make better informed decisions. Recommend changes to strategy, plans, policies, and programs that remedy those issues. End state: Army capability to inform and influence Army Human Capital Enterprise, plans, policy, programs, and resourcing to more effectively support Commanders, Service Providers, Soldiers, Civilians, Families, and Survivors. Best Practices Specified task (risk management profile/intervention awareness capability ) Strategy, plans, policy, and program recommendations Assess Compile metrics (leading/lagging indicators) Risk analysis definition Identify metrics supporting proactive (rather than reactive) actions Tools + Processes + Forums Task organize Dashboard 05/24/ :17 14

15 CSA Update Behavior Trends CSA Monthly Updates include 10 indicators of Soldier and Family member behavior: domestic violence, divorces, desertions, AWOLs, drug and alcohol enrollments, drug positives, suicides, courts-martial, motorcycle accidents and fatalities, and sexual assaults Trends FY07 FY08: Divorce, Alcohol Dependence and Abuse Enrollments, Drug Positives, Motorcycle Accidents and Fatalities, Suicides, Sexual Assaults all reflected upward trends. Of these, all but Sexual Assaults were above FY01-FY08 baseline. Desertions and AWOLs declined, but were above FY01 FY08 baseline. Courts-martial declined and were below FY01 FY 08 baseline. Preliminary FY08 FY09 (end of 3 rd Qtr)Trends: Domestic violence, divorce, and suicides increasing. Courts-martial, motorcycle accidents, and desertions/awols decreasing. Drug and alcohol enrollments, drug positives, and sexual assaults little or no change. Trends not analyzed in terms of systems that influence behaviors or related to programs. Not available to commanders or staff in the field. 05/24/ :17 15

16 Risk Reduction Program The Risk Reduction Program is a Commander's Program designed to decrease soldiers' high-risk behaviors (i.e. Substance Abuse, Suicide, Spouse/Child Abuse, AWOL ) thus increasing soldier and mission readiness. It is visually presented as a target that depicts 14 high-risk behaviors. High risk behavior rates are displayed on a shot group. Rates in the red ring could indicate the problem areas. From this the commander can decide which action to take to solve the behavioral problems. The program focuses on effective use of installation resources and coordinates effort between agencies utilizing the Installation Prevention Team to implement effective interventions. 05/24/ :17 16
