Automated Career Management For DOD Civilians: Performance and Potential

Abstract

The Automated Career Management System, a computer-based civilian personnel inventory, appraisal, and referral system, has unrealized potential for providing information needed for day-to-day and long-range decision making about an entire career field or an individual employee's development. DOD is not adequately using the system's capabilities. GAO identified several weaknesses in the appraisal and referral process which must be corrected if the system is to perform effectively as a placement device. DOD must clarify the objectives of automation; specify those responsible for designing, managing, and using the system; evaluate the system's use on an ongoing basis to improve effectiveness; and train managers to use the system to the fullest.
