Other Agencies' Elements of Reform

  • DHS and DOD reforms

    • Intend to include many of these same elements of a flexible and contemporary human capital management system
      • Performance management system
      • Pay bands and performance and market-based pay
    • But many details still to be defined, and the agencies face multiple challenges:
      • Revisions to labor-management relations have been controversial
      • Need to provide sustained and committed leadership, dedicated resources, training, and program evaluation strategy
      • Need to assure that the necessary support infrastructure is in place before allowing agencies to implement certain authorities (e.g., performance-based pay)
      • Need to conduct certain studies over time (e.g., market-based compensation ranges)
