Recommendations
Recommendations for Executive Action
| Agency Affected | Recommendation | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Office of Personnel Management | The Director, OPM, should: (1) develop additional Federal Personnel Manual incentive guidance specifically for productivity-based reward systems so federal agencies will be aware of the opportunity to establish these systems and the limitations on their use; (2) prepare a handbook of instructions describing key steps, principles, and features of productivity-based reward systems to help federal agencies design, implement, and manage their initiatives; and (3) identify and analyze ongoing federal agency productivity-based rewad systems to be able to provide assistance where needed and highlight certain useful features and experiences. |
