Guide To Civilian Personnel Management For Key Military Personnel

Efficient and effective use of the resources allocated by Congress, the Office of Management and Budget (0MB) and Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) to accomplish the Army mission is an absolute requirement of management at all levels in DA. Therefore, DA conducts continuous and systematic surveys, studies, and reviews of installations and activities to achieve the best possible organization and personnel structure. These reviews serve to assure that organization and personnel structures reflect advances in weapons and military training technologies and management techniques, and to comply with statutory and regulatory directives.

This is a practical guide for base commanders, covering important aspects of civilian personnel management, including personnel staffing, performance, management, discipline and labor-management relations (unions). Includes a chapter on the key players in the civilian personnel arena, and appendices which provide a convenient place to list civilian personnel populations, an evaluation checklist, and a list of key civilian personnel terms.
