How will NSPS make the Defense Department more competitive in its hiring capabilities?
NSPS gives us the opportunity to define a new human resource system featuring streamlined hiring, simplified job changes, a less complex classification system, and workforce-shaping procedures. The new system will make it easier and faster for prospective applicants to apply for DoD vacancies. On-board employees will see simplified competitive procedures and streamlined application and referral processes. A number of these features have already been demonstrated successfully in our laboratory demonstration and acquisition demonstration projects. This is good news for both managers and employees.
