How will the performance management system be designed under NSPS?
The NSPS performance management system will be designed to recognize and reward the performance and contributions of the DoD civilian workforce fairly and provide opportunities for communication and performance feedback among managers, supervisors, and employees throughout the appraisal cycle. Within the Department today there is a broad array of performance management systems – from Pass-Fail systems through contribution-based-pay-for performance systems within the demonstration projects. The PEO, with input from Focus Groups, will review these systems as they develop the proposed design for the NSPS performance management system. This process will be in partnership with the Office of Personnel Management and include dialogue with our union representatives.
