Book Description
Federal agencies are accelerating their efforts to build contemporary personnel systems to foster leadership and to enhance employee performance. These alternative personnel systems (APSs) have the potential to significantly improve agency performance through changes in the way civilian employees are paid and evaluated. In particular, performance-based and market sensitive pay systems have proven successful in the private sector and are essential elements of successful APSs. In 2004, through the National Defense Authorization Act, Congress gave special recognition to the importance of the civilian Department of Defense (DOD) workforce, and signaled its intent for DOD to build an effective infrastructure for aligning human capital management with agency mission requirements, by authorizing the development of an APS for the Department of Defense, the National Security Personnel System (NSPS). Under the Act, the Secretary of Defense and the Director of the Office of Personnel Management were given joint responsibility for prescribing regulations for NSPS. In keeping with OPM's overarching leadership role in the strategic management of the Government s human capital, including assessing the management of human capital by Federal agencies, OPM is providing this analysis of DOD's implementation of its new authorities. It describes the assessment methodology, the assessment framework, and the results of the analysis. We believe the analysis will be a valuable tool in helping DOD s ongoing implementation of its APS. Through it, OPM also responds to Congress s expectation the agency will fulfill its oversight of alternative personnel systems, in accordance with our statutory mandate.

Questions for the Record Related to the Implementation of the Department of Defense's National Security Personnel System (NSPS)
Author: Brenda S. Farrell
Publisher: DIANE Publishing
ISBN: 1437916511
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 9
Book Description
Provides answers to these questions from Solomon Ortiz, U.S. House of Rep.: (1) What steps could have been taken to roll out NSPS in a more orderly and fair fashion and if NSPS continues, what steps should now be taken to move forward? (2) As DoD and OPM leadership hold discussions to determine the overall framework, scope, and timeline of the review, what guidance or suggestions would you give to DoD and OPM to include in the methodology of this study? (3) Under the GS system, an employee steadily moves up through the various grades and can monitor career progression. There appears to be no such similar movement in NSPS; an employee, while receiving pay increases and bonuses, may remain in the same pay band for his/her entire career. If this is a valid concern, how can it be addressed?

The National Security Personnel System (NSPS)
Author: Stanley M. Brown
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Civil service positions
Languages : en
Pages : 22
Book Description
As a vital component of the Department of Defense (DOD), the civilian workforce must become a more relevant contributor to the 21st century strategic requirements and national security strategy. Effectively integrating DOD's civilian workforce into the Total Force is of great importance as DOD transforms to meet an increasingly volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous world. Implementation of NSPS is a major reform effort to transform DOD's civilian workforce to better recruit, retain, and mange its nearly 700,000 person civilian workforce. No one denies the importance of such an undertaking, yet there is a dearth of NSPS analysis from an historical and theoretical framework. The purpose of this paper is to bridge that gap, for the success or failure of NSPS to transform DOD's civilian workforce into a flexible 21st century entity of the Total Force because it is of great importance to future U.S. national security strategy.
