Does Competitive Sourcing mean DOI does not value its employees?
Our employees are our most valued resource. The Department of the Interior is implementing the Competitive Sourcing process in accordance with the August 2001 President’s Management Agenda in order to explore the potential for further improving citizen service and effectiveness. Every effort will be expended to ensure department employees receive fair and equitable treatment during Competitive Sourcing reviews. The President has emphasized the importance of government being accountable and up-to-date. Improvements resulting from competitive sourcing may relieve many current workplace frustrations because of efficiencies we can realize by working smarter.
