OPM Director John Berry proposes big civil service changes

Now the agency wants to hear from the Feds who may be affected by the new policies.

From “OPM’s Berry deals out first set of civil service reform suggestions” on FederalNewsRadio.com:

“John Berry fired the first salvo for how to ‘reinvigorate’ and ‘unshackle’ all aspects of federal human resources.

“The director of the Office of Personnel Management laid out Monday some initial ideas about changes that he hopes could bring agency hiring, firing, recruiting and retention practices in line with other Fortune 500 companies.

“That could mean getting rid of the General Schedule system, opening up bonuses of up to 30 percent to all employees — not just those in the Senior Executive Service — and making training of managers and employees the utmost priority.”

Director Berry spoke at his alma mater, Syracuse University’s Maxwell School.
