GSFC OnBoarding Initiative Pamela Barrett Office of Human Capital Management Talent Cultivation Office
Challenges • The “Bill of Rights” is not being achieved in all instances • Multiple badges issued • Lack of trigger points for non-civil servant personnel coming to the Center • No OnBoarding Tracking System available to provide a status on new employees and indicate where they are in the process • Contractor OnBoarding processes are being requested and the Agency is devoting resources to this issue • COTRs in technical positions have raised concerns about their onboarding roles and responsibilities
What’s in Place? • Established a minimally centralized OnBoarding office • Defined and documented sustainable onboarding processes and procedures for Civil Servants • Designed and implemented a Center OnBoarding website http://onboarding.gsfc.nasa.gov • Implemented a requirement for Supervisors to provide an OnBoarding Ambassador (mentor) and a meaningful work assignment for each new employee • Collaborating with the Agency to define onboarding performance metrics and evaluation strategies
What’s in Place? • Identified Directorate OnBoarding Reps (DORs) Community • Designed and distributed a comprehensive “New Employee Package” for Supervisors • Developed checklists for the Supervisor, DORs, and New Employees • Redesigned orientation programs to include Center Leadership, information about organizational history, and mission/core values • Collaborating with the Education Office to document the onboarding process for summer interns
Next Steps • Educate the DORs on the onboarding processes and assist with troubleshooting issues • Document and communicate new and modified onboarding processes • Participating on the Agency OnBoarding Initiative for NASA (OBIN) team • Bring new employees onsite and/or provide remote access prior to Entrance on Duty (EoD) date to complete fingerprinting and badging
What We Need From You? • Identify an OnBoarding Ambassador for the new employee during the ‘After Acceptance’ discussion • Communicate with the DORs to ensure the “New Employee Bill of Rights” is met • Utilize the “Supervisor Checklist” as a tool for successful OnBoarding • Input on surveys when solicited • Provide a welcoming experience to new employees

Surveys - Culture Kathy Doyle Office of Human Capital Management Organizational Leadership and Culture Office
Background • The new Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey (formerly known as the Federal Human Capital Survey) is a critical tool for driving change • Invitations via e-mail from OPM have already been sent to 2,300 GSFC Full-time Permanent Civil Servants; survey will remain open until 3/31 • 2009 Best Places to Work Rankings: NASA: #3 (#4 in 2007)
Purpose REQUESTS: • As leaders and managers of your organization, take the time to complete the survey providing honest responses • Encourage all of your civil servant employees to do the same • In any venue where appropriate, encourage your peers and/or others around you to provide their input FYI: As of COB 2/16 – GSFC’s response rate is 21.4% (lowest of the 10 Centers)
What Happens with the Data? • Utilize the results of the data to identify areas that may require attention • Partner with the Directorates that receive results to develop an action plan to do the following: • address the areas of improvement • identify the strength areas and capitalize on those areas to ensure the organization continues to do even better
Current State/Activities • Team [Cultural Survey Investigators (CSI): Goddard] has gathered data from recent employee surveys conducted by different mechanisms in order to provide an integrated assessment of the culture at GSFC.
Current State/Activities • The “Big Picture” that emerges from the data will provide an integrated picture of the cultural environment that currently exists and provide an opportunity for the OHCM to strategically address issues/concerns through the following potential areas to include, but not limited to: • leadership training/development • supervisory practices • coaching • performance management • recruiting and retention strategies • The team has determined from their analysis that the areas requiring some level of attention are the following: • Communication • Leadership • Performance
Future State/Activities • As a result of the CSI: Goddard team’s findings, the team has developed a plan for moving forward including, but not limited to, collaborating with our key stakeholders and/or other partners to begin addressing our findings • In the very near future, our Job and Business Opportunities link on the Goddard Home page will provide information about our 2009 “Best Places to Work” rankings determined by our 2008 OPM Federal Human Capital Survey results (now the Employee Viewpoint Survey) • NOTE: For more information on Best Places to Work, visit the following website: http://data.bestplacestowork.org/bptw/index
Next Steps • Conduct analysis of the 2010 EVS real-time as results become available and address challenges/issues immediately to ensure the most impact and/or opportunity to influence change/improvement where needed • Prepare communications for the upcoming Agency Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) Survey – scheduled to launch within the month • Understanding and definition of diversity • Awareness of diversity • Support for the Agency and Center’s Diversity and Inclusion Program • Workplace climate/culture • Finally, what can you do as leaders of NASA and GSFC… • let your voice be heard and encourage your employees and peers to let their voice be heard, too! • we can’t drive change if we don’t know where change is needed
