| Summary |
Since 2001, GAO has designated strategic human capital management as a high-risk area because of the federal government's long-standing lack of a consistent approach to such management. In 2007, the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence (USD(I)) began developing a human capital system, called the Defense Civilian Intelligence Personnel System (DCIPS), to manage Department of Defense (DOD) civilian intelligence personnel. In response to a congressional request, GAO examined the extent to which DOD has (1) incorporated internal safeguards into DCIPS and monitored the implementation of these safeguards and (2) developed mechanisms to identify employee perceptions about DCIPS. GAO analyzed guidance, interviewed appropriate officials, and conducted discussion groups with employees at select DOD components. At the end of GAO's review, legislation was enacted that impacts, among other things, how DCIPS employees will be paid. GAO recommends that DOD issue guidance to involve employees in system design and implementation and guidance for the analysis of final performance ratings using demographic data; finalize and execute its evaluation plan to assess the system, including the safeguards; and implement mechanisms that comprehensively identify employee perceptions. DOD concurred with all four recommendations. |
