OMSOE Goal 5:
FY 1999/2000 The Federal workforce understands and is guided by the merit system principles.

Provide the workforce educational and informational materials to secure and increase acceptance of the merit system principles.

Incorporate the merit system principles in supervisory, employee, and executive orientation and training, in cooperation with agencies and vendors.

Increased understanding of the principles by managers and employees as measured by questions #27 and # 28 of the Merit System Principles Questionnaire

Agencies adopt programs and practices that promote the merit system principles as determined by oversight reviews.

Educational materials are used by agencies to increase awareness of the principles.
The Merit System Principles poster, which OMSOE developed and first distributed in

FY 1998, has become highly popular in agencies. For example, the Social Security Administration has ordered enough posters for its hundreds of district offices, nationwide. The Merit Mousepad has even become an international favorite with several foreign governments expressing an interest in duplicating the idea.

In FY 1998, OMSOE, with contractor assistance, developed a training video on the merit system principles. It will be distributed Governmentwide in FY 1999. In addition, OMSOE continues to help agencies promote the merit system principles through interagency HRM Satellite Broadcasts, training materials, and brochures.

Ensure that delegated examining is conducted in accordance with merit system laws, regulations, and principles. (Continuing)
