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
- Pay bands for more flexible classification, staffing, and compensation approaches
- More market based and performance oriented pay system
- Modern performance management systems
- 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, pre-implementation training, and a post-implementation 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 appropriate studies over time (e.g., market-based compensation ranges)
