Performance Management Program Highlights Performance reviews with continual feedback Organizational goals link to employee performance Continuous recognition and rewards (9)
Background National Defense Authorization Act 2010 (October 2009) Mandated a fair, credible, transparent performance management system and redesigned procedures for appointments to positions in the competitive service Authorized the Secretary of Defense, at his discretion, to establish a Civilian Workforce Incentive Fund Required DoD ensure a means for involving employees in the design and implementation of the authorities through their designated representatives Executive Order 13522 (December 2009) Allows employees and their union representatives to have pre-decisional involvement (PDI) in all workplace matters to the fullest extent practicable (10)
Background, continued New Beginnings (Spring 2010 Fall 2011) Collaborative labor-management initiative to develop and carry out the process to design recommendations for the new authorities Three joint labor-management design teams Performance Management, Hiring Flexibilities, and Civilian Workforce Incentive Fund of DoD employees met from February 2011 September 2011 The teams jointly developed recommendations were advice to the Department Decisions on the Design Teams Recommendations All recommendations were vetted with the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) and the DoD Components The Department made decisions on all recommendations in December 2012; the vast majority were endorsed DoD s 10 National Unions briefed on status of the recommendations and the Department s decisions in December 2012 and January 2013 (11)
Design Teams Recommendations Overview DoD must focus on cultural and attitudinal changes regarding performance management, vice the structural features of the system It s about clear guidance and continuous feedback; not about the 365 th day Supervisors perform a critical role in hiring and performance management Emphasis on supervisor selection, training, development, and preparation is key Hiring reform initiatives to date are yielding positive results Enhancements to hiring processes are needed to better meet needs of applicants and employees The need for additional financial incentives is negligible Current incentives support positive recruiting, retention, and performance; but some additional incentives may be warranted (12)
Hiring and Workforce Incentive Highlights Adopt the Office of Personnel Management s (OPM) Pathways Program Delegate Direct-hire Authority to the Secretary of Defense Study the impact of a Veteran-centric workforce Continue migration to OPM s USA Staffing assessment process Pursue enhancements to USA Jobs and USA Staffing Improve military and civilian hiring manager training initiatives Pursue the development of guidance, training and certification for the Human Resources functional community Do not establish a Civilian Workforce Incentive Fund Improve supervisory training on HR tools (e.g., pay flexibilities, recognition, hiring) (13)
Performance Management Program Highlights Focus on fostering cultural, attitudinal changes in performance management Emphasize strategic link between organizational goals/employee performance Develop and implement an automated appraisal tool to facilitate performance planning, communications, and the rating cycle process Develop a DoD-wide standard rating cycle of April 1 through March 31 and a standard minimum rating period of 90 days Require a minimum of three documented performance reviews, with emphasis on continual feedback Encourage continuous recognition and rewards, both monetary and nonmonetary Utilize a 3-level rating pattern that includes: Clearly developed objectives linked to organizational goals Descriptive narrative assessments that show distinctions in performance Documented performance that informs other personnel decisions (14)
Way Ahead Phased implementation of the new Defense Performance Management and Appraisal Program began in April 2016 Continue to develop and implement the NDAA initiatives while emphasizing pre-decisional involvement and training Communicate implementation progress and timelines and integrate initiatives into sustainment procedures Continue to meet Congressional reporting requirements Submit to Congress semi-annual progress reports until system is fully implemented in accordance with Section 9902(h) of title 5, United States Code. Conduct appropriately designed and statistically valid internal assessment or employee surveys to assess employee perceptions Submit to Congress and the Comptroller General a report describing the results of the assessments or surveys in accordance with Section 9902(h) of title 5, United States Code (15)
