Degree of customer satisfaction with reimbursable projects results as measured by direct customer feedback (e.g., number of requests for repeat business, assessment of verbal or written complaints and/or compliments) indicates overall satisfaction with products.

Blue Arrow Head  The Total Compensation Conference is shown by end-of-conference surveys to have satisfied participants’ expectations for the level and type of information provided to help them understand developing issues in Federal compensation.

In FY 1999, conduct the first Total Compensation Conference.

Blue Arrow Head  Post-workshop and seminar customer surveys indicate overall satisfaction with leave workshop presentations.

During FY 1998, conducted four workshops on "Federal Leave Programs -- Putting the Pieces Together." These workshops provided guidance and active discussions on the interaction of the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993; sick leave for family care, bereavement, and adoption purposes; the Federal leave transfer and leave bank programs; leave for bone-marrow and organ donation; and taking actions against employees who use or abuse leave.

In FY 1998, conducted successful seminars on position classification and performance management. In FY 1999 these separate seminars will be absorbed into a single comprehensive Total Compensation Conference.

VERIFICATION AND VALIDATION

Data will be collected, analyzed, and studied each year according to accepted collection, analysis, and evaluation practices from customers and participants in seminars and workshops to determine satisfaction levels and acceptance of WCPS products and services, and the level of progress toward achieving WCPS goals.
