| ES Goal 12: FY1999/2000 |
The value of the continued use of valid, fair,
merit-based examining procedures, and the improved automated, competency-based assessment
tools designed to support them, is communicated so that agencies have a better
understanding of the impact of such procedures on workforce quality. [Also, see ES Goal 9 and ES Goal 21] |
 |
 |
Assist agencies in tailoring and managing their own decentralized personnel systems so they select, in accordance with merit principles, those employees who will best help them accomplish agency missions. |
| |
Educate Federal agency managers about the benefits of objective competency-based assessment tools for maximizing organizational productivity, reducing turnover, and improving customer service. | |
| |
Evaluate validity and cost-effectiveness of existing and new methods for selection and promotion and share findings with agencies. | |
| |
Maintain staff expertise in best practices for selection and promotion, in order to provide the best possible advice and assistance to agencies as they tailor their programs. | |
| |
Review data in the CPDF to monitor the types of appointing authorities used to determine if any should be moved to the competitive service. | |
| |
Use competency-based selection tools in model programs developed and operated by OPM (e.g., Presidential Management Intern program, Career Intern program). | |
| |
Recommend use of competency-based procedures in response to reimbursable requests for assessment assistance, and share results of effective applications. | |
| |
Encourage agencies to form cooperative special interest groups to fund the design of competency-based occupational development plans, selection procedures, and other human resource tools to improve workforce quality. | |
 |
|
Favorable perception of employees Governmentwide
that staffing is conducted in accordance with Merit Systems Principle 1, ("Recruit,
select and advance on the basis of merit"), as measured by a 50% or higher favorable
ratings on relevant questions on the OPM Merit Systems Principles Questionnaire (MSPQ). The baseline FY 1999 MSPQ survey showed a 47.5% overall favorable rating for Principle 1. |
| |
Report whether the review of CPDF data indicated a need for movement of appointing authorities to the competitive service, and the status of this movement. | |
| |
Documentation of effective uses of objective
competency-based assessment procedures in a variety of situations and at various
Government levels. In FY 1998, ES partnered with the Office of Executive Resources to update the leadership competencies for the Senior Executive Service. The new SES competencies will help agencies to select and promote the senior executive corps needed to lead the continuing transformation of Government. |
