…SO WHAT’S HAPPENING DON HR WORLDWIDE CONFERENCE Kathleen Ott Acting Principal Director Office of the Deputy Under Secretary of Defense Civilian Personnel Policy April 2010
BRIEFING OVERVIEW Objective: Provide a high-level update of “What’s Happening in DoD Human Resources” Agenda: • Strategic Human Capital Management/Multi-Sector Planning • Civilian Expeditionary Workforce • Senior Executive Service • Civilian Life Cycle – Acquire, Compensate, Retain, Develop • Labor Management Forums • STRL Update • NDAA Personnel Authorities • Policy Update • DCIPS • Questions
STRATEGIC HUMAN CAPITAL MANAGEMENT Drivers Enablers Impact Workforce Forecasting National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) Emergent Missions • A collaborative approach through OSD Functional Community Managers, supported by Command leadership HR, Manpower, and Budget • Scoped enterprise-wide planning efforts by mission critical occupations (MCOs) • Managed centrally but executed de-centrally through Component • Functional Community Managers (FCMs) • Identifies current & future mission requirements • Identifies environmental factors/DoD goals • Determines appropriate workforce mix • Analyzes demographic trends • Establishes recruitment/ retention goals • President Obama’s Agenda • NSC Objectives • QDR Updates • New Threats • Evolving /Changing Responsibilities Competency Assessment • Identifies knowledges, skills, abilities, • behaviors • Assesses gaps • Provides Readiness and Talent Index • Creates Talent Roadmap • Pilot planned for FY10 • Logistics/Contracting/Leadership/ • FM/IT/Nurses/Safety DoD Program Initiatives • Strategies • Defines acquisition, development, and retention strategies • Implements Succession planning • Identifies requirements, e.g. POM • In-Sourcing • Military /Civilian Conversions • BRAC Overarching Goal: Shape and maintain a mission-ready workforce 3
SHCMMULTI-SECTOR PLANNING – IN-SOURCING Reduces operational risk by ensuring functions that are inherently governmental and/or critical to DoD‘s readiness/management needs are performed in-house In-sourcing is strategic rebalancing of the Total Force and restoring critical “organic” capabilities Although in-sourcing may, in some instances, reduce costs – it is NOT a budget drill “The Department is not in-sourcing for the sake of in-sourcing” In-sourcing focuses on contracted services – NOT on contractor employees Contractors will remain a vital source of expertise and support services In-sourcing is NOT a “war on contractors” In-sourcing is NOT arbitrary – decisions result from well-reasoned policies and objective analysis “Not all in-sourcing is good, not all outsourcing is bad” In-sourcing is “not new” to current Administration Congress mandated in-sourcing and codified it in Title 10 In-sourcing is an enduring tool (one of many) to ensure appropriate mix of personnel 4
Total Defense Acquisition Workforce (DAW) Growth ~ 19,887 Total in-sourcing ~ 33,400 (FY10~13,400; FY11~6,200) Additional DAW Growth (non in-sourcing) 9,887 Non-acquisition in-sourcing 23,400 10,000 DAW in-sourcing IN-SOURCING NUMBERS: FY10-14 In-sourcing initiative focused on contracted services/functions NOT on contractor employees or positions 5
CIVILIAN EXPEDITIONARY WORKFORCE • Civilians are, and will continue to be, called to support contingency operations • Total Force staffing of expeditionary type requirements • Relieve “stress” on the active duty force • Reduce dependency on contractor support • Provide opportunities for DoD civilians to contribute talents • Competition for skilled talent will continue to increase – workforce planning crucial to sustain the continuity of talent • Enhanced training curriculum launched 2nd Qtr FY10 for civilians being deployed; managers, H.R. specialists and family training being developed
Civilian Workforce Ad-Hoc EE E-E NCE Current DoDD 1404.10 CBV CIVILIAN EXPEDITIONARY WORKFORCE MODEL New Model Expeditionary Corps • Features: • Designated subset of employees to respond within 90 days of notification • EE - Emergency Essential - a position-based designation to support combat operations or combat-essential systems in a combat zone (10 U.S.C. 1580). Deployability required as condition of employment • NCE - Non Combat Essential - a position-based designation to support non combat missions. Deployability required as condition of employment • CBV - Capability Based Employee Volunteers – a personnel-based designation to support voluntary identification of capabilities outside scope of an employee’s position for EE and NCE requirements • CBV Former Employee Volunteer Corps prepared to support backfill or deployed requirements Language Corps Reserve Team(Former DoD Civil Service and Retirees) Old Model
SHCMON THE HORIZON • Program Updates • DSD Memorandum of Support; NDAA 10 • Mission Critical Occupation Refresh • Functional Community Manager Update • Establishment of Component SHCM Integrator • Component input to DoD Plan/Report to Congress, December 1, 2010 • GAO Assessment of FY09 efforts ongoing; report, summer 2010 • FY10 Focus • More structured approach to strategy development/implementation • Competency Management
SHCMCOMPETENCY MANAGEMENT Business Case Identify core foundational competencies for MCOs to facilitate joint mission endeavors Be able to locate expertise to support emergent mission requirements Develop a common roadmap for career advancement to leverage training and development costs Improve recruitment assessment methodology Identify classification standards in need of update PROPOSED APPROACH TO COMPETENCY MANAGEMENT At the DoD level, will focus on a limited number of occupations, i.e., one occupation in several MCOs (Leadership, 1102, and Logistics; IT, Nurses, FM, Safety) Competencies will be developed enterprise-wide, with Component add-on’s as needed Will use a standard process to identify/validate enterprise-wide competencies Valid competencies will be entered into Oracle Self-Serve; pilot scheduled for FY10 Components can undertake competency development in addition to DoD occupations; however, effort must be coordinated across the Components
SES ALLOCATIONS • For Fiscal Year (FY) 2010 and 2011, the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) authorized an increase of 25 of 51 Senior Executive Service (SES), 7 of 7 Senior Leaders (SL), and 0 of 19 Senior Technical (ST) allocations. (October 30, 2009) • In March 2010, after a request for reconsideration by DoD, OPM authorized 8 of 19 originally requested ST allocations • The Department is currently awaiting reconsideration of 26 SES positions • Final allocations for DoD : • SES 1422 • SL 54 • ST 143 • Distribution of allocations were as follows: • Army 5 SES, 8 ST • Air Force 5 SES • Navy 5 SES, 6 SL • 4th Estate 5 SES, 1 SL • CoComs 5 SES, 1 P&R Resource *P&R Resources are provided on a temporary basis from the USD(P&R)’s Reserve Pool
SES CERTIFICATION • Certification of Pay for Performance systems is needed for access to pay above Executive Level III and aggregate pay up to VP Salary • Agencies must score 90-100 points (on a scale of 100) to obtain full certification • Certification, once obtained, is good for 2 years • Within DoD, SES performance system is fully certified through 31 December 2010; ST/SL through 30 September, 2011 • SES Certification documentation for CY11 must be submitted to OPM by 30 June, 2010 • 325 SES performance plans are being audited by DoD against 11 criteria, February to May • 20 performance plans will be audited by OPM in May; randomly selected
ACQUIRE HIRING REFORM INITIATIVE Process Improvements Communications/Marketing Training Automation/Technology • Hiring Reform Action Plan to address lengthy hiring timeline and to effect improvements to hiring process (Q1 FY2010) • Action Plan focuses on four areas: What you will see in the future • Streamlined application process – impact on KSA write-ups • New assessment approaches • More easy to understand job announcements – templates on DoD Hiring Reform Website • More timely action on application/referrals and more frequent status updates – 4 points of notification • More responsive USAJOBS features • OPM initiatives – category ranking; legislative proposals • New marketing Materials – managers toolkit and hiring website www.cpms.osd.mil/recruit
ACQUIREHIRING REFORM-IN THE INTERIM • More efficient Hiring Authorities • Expedited Hiring Authority (EHA) for Acquisition Positions at the mid/senior levels; entry level EHA should be delegated by June • Direct Hire Authorities for critical positions • Cyber; Information Technology (certain fields); Medical • Ongoing effort to obtain more efficient authorities for in-sourcing and BRAC (Ft. Knox; DISA) • Expansion of Recruitment Sources • EO on Vets Hiring; within DoD, focus on enlisted members • Individuals with Disabilities • Military Spouse Intern Program (for non-DoD Agencies); www.cpms.osd.mil • Non-competitive appointment of Scholarship Graduates • Non-competitive appointment of certain military spouses
ACQUIRE PROPOSED PPP POLICY CHANGES • Nondisplaced Overseas Registrants • Change registrants from Priority 2 to Priority 3 – will increase managers’ flexibility to make internal selections • Refer only to same Component after 1 year • Retain in PPP as non-priority referrals after 2 years • elections • “Not Well-Qualified” Determinations • Restrict registration for GS-301 and GS-303 to employees who have been assigned to the series or are well-qualified for any of the corresponding option codes • Establish 10-year recency of experience benchmark for PPP registration
ACQUIRE PROPOSED PPP CHANGES (CONT’D) • Registrants inappropriately block internal selections • Register all Retained Grade Program employees as Priority 3 • Reduce maximum area of referral for employees who decline TOF • Provides greater incentive to move with job • Closes loophole allowing employees to register as Priority 1 even though they had an opportunity for guaranteed placement incident to realignment • elections • Placements lost because PPP registrants held to higher qualifications standards than candidates selected from usual sources • Revise the “well-qualified” definition and clarify it does not represent a level of qualifications that always exceeds “highly qualified” or “best qualified” • Allow the gaining activity to waive the well-qualified standard • May offer job if manager feels the registrant can successfully perform the required duties
ACQUIREPROPOSED PPP CHANGES (CONT’D) • Miscellaneous • Establish PPP exceptions for hiring individuals completing designated scholarship program service agreements (e.g., Information Assurance , SMART, and National Security Professionals Scholarship Programs) • Limit Program S, military spouse preference registrants, to PPP consideration for only those positions for which they are considered best-qualified – eliminates Priority 3 dual-track consideration
COMPENSATE COMPENSATION UPDATE • Compensation System for Doctors and Dentists • Salary reflects both title 5 grade and market pay; allows salary limits comparable to NSPS and VA • Pay reflects medical specialty, work environment, personal credentials, market drivers • To be effective Summer 2010 • Reservist Differential • Reservists who are federal employees and are called to active duty will be compensated for the difference between their military and civilian salaries • Law went into effect March 2009; OPM implementing regulations, January 2010 • Differentials for retroactive cases calculated by DFAS; information for processing pay adjustments sent to HROs, April 16, 2010 • Going forward processes should be finalized by May 2010 • Overseas Locality Issues • Legislation to allow for overseas locality pay rejected due to cost; OPM will be forming an inter-agency work group to examine pay equity issues
COMPENSATESUNDAY PREMIUM PAY – PART TIME EMPLOYEES • On December 8, 2009, OPM issued guidance requiring payment of premium pay to part-time employees (including part-time nonappropriated fund (NAF) prevailing rate employees) performing regularly scheduled work on Sunday • In review of Fathauer v. United States, 566 F.3d 1352 (Fed. Cir. 2009), the U.S. Court of Federal Claims determined that the earlier interpretations of the relevant law were incorrect, that the plain language interpretation of the law clearly supported payment of Sunday premium pay to part-time employees • Proposed regulations were published in the Federal Register on Friday, April 9, 2010. Comments are due not later than June 8, 2010 • DoD guidance on this issue is in process • Processing (Proposed) • DFAS will issue guidance on the claims submission process for appropriated fund employees, including a suggested claim format. • To the extent possible, payments will be provided to active employees for covered Sunday work performed after May 26, 2009, without a specific claim

Development of DoD’s Definition of “Domestic Partner” • CPP has developed a DTM which establishes DoD's definition of a same-sex domestic partner for the purposes of overseas benefits only, as defined in Department of Defense Instruction (DoDI) 1400.25, Volume 1250 "DoD Civilian Personnel Management System: Overseas Allowances and Differentials," December, 1996 • Currently no government or DoD-wide definition of domestic partner exists; proposed definition out for comment , April 23, 2010 • Like most Federal agencies, DoD’s overseas benefits and regulations are consistent with the Department of State Standardized Regulations (DSSR). As such, this DTM adopts the State Department's definition of a same-sex domestic partner • The DTM also adopts State Dept’s affidavit by which an employee must declare a domestic partner relationship • This DTM was initially put on hold in order for the Department to clarify its position on 10 U.S.C. 654, “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell” • The DTM is undergoing final legal review before entering the formal coordination processes 22
