A Clear View of the Workforce: New Tools Enable Better Metrics

Abstract

Accurate, current, and complete acquisition workforce data is critical in human capital management; and collecting, analyzing, and reporting comprehensive workforce information is vital to shaping, understanding, and developing the Department of Defense's diverse acquisition workforce. For years, multiple challenges have existed in obtaining a clear picture of who makes up the acquisition workforce.
