A Survey to Improve Personnel Policies, and More
A weekly roundup of pay and benefits news.
The Office of Personnel Management last week announced that it would begin conducting a series of surveys of federal workers across the government regarding the competencies they require to effectively do their jobs, which officials say will shape a variety of personnel policies, including job classifications, hiring, recruitment and retention.
The first phase of the Federal Workforce Competency Initiative survey will go out to a random selection of federal employees across 350 federal occupations in the coming weeks, and will poll them about “general competencies” required for their jobs, like problem solving and interpersonal skills. Future phases of the survey will focus on technical competencies and will be more tailored to specific subsets of federal jobs.
