Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In response to more than a decade of downsizing and restructuring, the Department of Defense (DoD) is engaged in a human-resources strategic planning effort to address resulting imbalances in both skills and experience levels in many parts of DoD. The current human-resources strategic plan addresses the need to provide management systems and tools to support total workforce planning and informed decisionmaking (U.S. Department of Defense, 2003b). Attention to Department-wide civilian workforce planning stems in part from the President's Management Agenda of 2001 and the continuing assessments of Department-level progress on workforce planning. DoD civilian workforce-planning efforts are complicated and, at the same time, made more important by the implementation of the National Security Personnel System (NSPS), slated to begin in 2006. The NSPS will replace the traditional federal civil service personnel management system within DoD, providing DoD managers with more management flexibility.

Book excerpt: This is a print on demand edition of a hard to find publication. As of March 2010, DoD's total civilian workforce included 718,000 full-time civilians, including more than 2,900 civilians in the senior mgmt., functional, and technical personnel workforce. Further, DoD reported that, as of the end of Sept. 2009, there were more than 118,000 civilians in DoD's acquisition workforce. DoD will have 30% of its workforce eligible to retire by 2015; therefore, it needs to reduce its reliance on contractors to augment the current workforce. In early 2010, DoD submitted its 2009 update to the human capital strategic plan. This report determined the extent to which DoD's strategic workforce plan addresses the FY 2010 requirements applicable to: (1) the overall civilian workforce; (2) the senior leader workforce; and (3) the acquisition workforce

Book excerpt: The DoD civilian workforce is an undervalued resource. There is no formal, programmatic education continuum in place designed to develop strategic civilian leaders. Further, no framework exists for DoD civilians to provide diverse duty assignments and develop the broad experience required to serve in strategic positions within the joint, interagency, international, and multinational (JIIM) environment. Congress and DoD must act in concert to rectify this situation and thoughtfully shape the civilian workforce. This paper recommends that DoD combine the Intelligence Community's Joint Duty Assignment program with the Civilian Expeditionary Workforce in conjunction with formal education at the Service Command and Staff, and Senior Service Colleges to provide the requisite experience and formal education needed to produce strategic civilian leaders. Fundamental to DoD's mission success is a well educated and thoughtfully shaped civilian workforce capable of performing multiple functions at the strategic level.

Book excerpt: The DoD relies heavily on its civilian workforce to perform duties usually performed by military personnel -- incl. combat support functions such as logistics. Civilian senior leaders are among those who manage DoD's civilians. In 2007, DoD was mandated to assess requirements for its civilian senior leader workforce in light of recent trends. DoD reported its recent reply to this requirement in 2009, which used information from a 2008 baseline review to validate its senior leader requirements. This report reviewed DoD's approach for: (1) assessing its civilian senior leader workforce requirements; (2) identifying and communicating the need for additional senior leaders; and (3) developing and managing this workforce.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DOD employs over 700,000 federal civilians—over one-third of the total federal civilian workforce—and recognizes the importance of a diverse workforce to achieve its critical missions. However, DOD has faced challenges ensuring its workforce reflects the diversity of the nation it serves. This report analyzes (1) the demographic composition of the DOD civilian workforce by gender and racial or ethnic group; (2) promotion outcomes among these demographic groups; and (3) the extent to which DOD has developed policies and plans to identify any barriers and track progress eliminating them. GAO recommends that DOD (1) update policies to ensure it collects barrier-related data, (2) assign clear oversight roles, and (3) establish measures to track progress in eliminating barriers.

Book excerpt: The Acquisition 2005 Task Force Report states that "The Department of Defense (DoD) is on the precipice of a crisis that the rest of the public and private sectors will also encounter - an age-related talent drain". For a variety of reasons, DoD is facing large losses of the civilian workforce to retirement over the next ten years. This report examines the conditions which have lead DoD to the edge, detail what actions are and should be taken to bridge the chasm of recruiting and retaining a quality workforce so vital to our national security.

Download or read book DOD Civilian Personnel written by United States. General Accounting Office and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1987 and 2002, the Department of Defense (DOD) downsized the civilian workforce in 27 key industrial facilities by about 56 percent. Many of the remaining 72,000 workers are nearing retirement. In recent years GAO has identified shortcomings in DOD's strategic planning and was asked to determine (1) whether DOD has implemented our prior recommendation to develop and implement a depot maintenance strategic plan, (2) the extent to which the services have developed and implemented comprehensive strategic workforce plans, and (3) what challenges adversely affect DOD's workforce planning. DOD has not implemented our October 2001 recommendation to develop and implement a DOD depot strategic plan that would delineate workloads to be accomplished in each of the services' depots. The DOD depot system has been a key part of the department's plan to support military systems in the past, but the increased use of the private sector to perform this work has decreased the role of these activities. While title 10 of the U.S. code requires DOD to retain core capability and also requires that at least 50 percent of depot maintenance funds be spent for public-sector performance, questions remain about the future role of DOD depots. Absent a DOD depot strategic plan, the services have in varying degrees, laid out a framework for strategic depot planning, but this planning is not comprehensive. Questions also remain about the future of arsenals and ammunition plants. GAO reviewed workforce planning efforts for 22 maintenance depots, 3 arsenals, and 2 ammunition plants, which employed about 72,000 civilian workers in fiscal year 2002. The services have not developed and implemented strategic workforce plans to position the civilian workforce in DOD industrial activities to meet future requirements. While workforce planning is done for each of the industrial activities, generally it is short-term rather than strategic. Further, workforce planning is lacking in other areas that the Office of Personnel Management guidance and high-performing organizations identify as key to successful workforce planning. Service workforce planning efforts (1) usually do not assess the competencies; (2) do not develop comprehensive retention plans; and (3) sometimes do not develop performance measures and evaluate workforce plans. Several challenges adversely affect DOD's workforce planning for the viability of its civilian depot workforce. First, given the aging depot workforce and the retirement eligibility of over 40 percent of the workforce over the next 5 to 7 years, the services may have difficulty maintaining the depots' viability. Second, the services are having difficulty implementing multiskilling--an industry and government best practice for improving the flexibility and productivity of the workforce--even though this technique could help depot planners do more with fewer employees. Finally, increased training funding and innovation in the training program will be essential for revitalizing the aging depot workforce.
