Andy Medici writes the Pentagon will gradually subject the departmentâs 750,000 civilian workers to the three-tiered New Beginnings review system in the next few years and use the appraisals to assess the employeesâ bonuses.
House legislators have introduced a version of the National Defense Authorization Act that calls for DoD to immediately roll out the system and facilitate training among employees and managers, according to the report.
Pete Randazzo, president of the National Federation of Federal Employees local 1690 chapter, said he expects the appraisal system to bolster active dialogue between employees and executives and result in a more productive workforce.
“I think the return on investment is going to be a big advantage,â he said.
âIt will help with succession planning, make for better attrition rates and result in improvements in services.â
