Book excerpt: A Status Report on Demonstration Projects and Other Performance-based Pay Systems provides an overview of Performance-based Pay Systems (PPSs), profiles current PPS projects, and presents trends and observations regarding PPSs that currently support over 298,000 Federal employees. This report covers three categories of PPSs. The first category is demonstration projects authorized under chapter 47 of title 5, United States Code. Under this authority, OPM establishes and evaluates demonstration projects designed to test whether certain changes in personnel management practices, such as a change to performance-based pay from a longevity-based system, would improve Federal personnel management. The total number of employees in this category is 42,606. The second category includes agency-specific, independent systems established under specific legislative authority. These systems cover almost 247,000 employees. The final category is Governmentwide executive pay systems, comprising the Senior Executive Service and the Senior Foreign Service, covering 8,643 executives. Several trends and observations emerge from our experience with performance-based pay systems in all three categories: * Performance-based pay systems continue to be successful, as evidenced by many evaluations and a stronger link between pay and performance than under longevity-based pay systems. * Achieving success entails significant effort, but pays off by achieving a results-oriented performance culture. * Under PPSs, managers and supervisors manage performance more * The ability to recruit and retain a high-quality workforce increases under * Payroll costs are being controlled, but cost discipline must be maintained as these systems expand and mature.

In this occasional paper, the authors compare several proposals aimed at enhancing the role of such PFP schemes for federal civil servants, and examine the pros and cons of PFP schemes compared with seniority-based salary systems, as well as the proposals to change the General Schedule system.

Download or read book Defense Management Reform written by Peter Levine and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2020-03-10 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pentagon spending has been the target of decades of criticism and reform efforts. Billions of dollars are spent on weapons programs that are later abandoned. State-of-the-art data centers are underutilized and overstaffed. New business systems are built at great expense but fail to meet the needs of their users. Every Secretary of Defense for the last five Administrations has made it a priority to address perceived bloat and inefficiency by making management reform a major priority. The congressional defense committees have been just as active, enacting hundreds of legislative provisions. Yet few of these initiatives produce significant results, and the Pentagon appears to go on, as wasteful as ever. In this book, Peter Levine addresses why, despite a long history of attempted reform, the Pentagon continues to struggle to reduce waste and inefficiency. The heart of Defense Management Reform is three case studies covering civilian personnel, acquisitions, and financial management. Narrated with the insight of an insider, the result is a clear understanding of what went wrong in the past and a set of concrete guidelines to plot a better future.

Book excerpt: Take a sneak peak inside!Click on the link below to preview chapter one. Order your exam copy today by clicking on the "Request an Exam Copy" link above. Chapter 1 With the shift from “human resources” to “human capital management” (HCM), public agencies are striving to strategically manage their workforces. Sally Selden’s groundbreaking book moves far beyond describing best practices and offers the context in which innovative practices have been implemented. She details how agencies are creating performance-aligned workforces by adopting systems and policies that are driven by their strategic missions. This book covers core topics of personnel courses—including hiring, training, retention, performance, and recognition—but also includes integrated coverage on measuring success through assessment. Further helping readers grasp how HCM works, the book uses original data from the Government Performance Project and incorporates many comparative examples across a wide range of states, plus federal and municipal agencies. Unlike anything else available, Human Capital fills a critical gap for both students and public personnel professionals.
