Capturing the Fleet's Policy for Weighting the Importance of the Navy's Advancement Decisions
Abstract
Over the last several years the Navy has invested considerable time and energy in developing a human resource strategy that emphasizes the link between personnel quality and operational readiness. Success will require the linkage of human resource approaches with the accomplishment of organizational goals; implementation of recruiting, selection, training, and retention approaches that foster mission accomplishment; and transformation to a results-oriented organizational culture. One human resource component that will play a vital role is personnel advancement. The process of identifying potential candidates for advancement, and selecting those to be promoted is critical for an organization's continuing success and productivity. Organizations use a variety of different personnel advancement systems to facilitate the decision-making process, and many of these systems incorporate multiple criteria to improve accurate evaluation of candidates. For Navy Enlisted Sailors, the current advancement system provides for the orderly progression of qualified personnel to higher levels of responsibility throughout their naval careers. Generally, advancement is based on demonstrated proficiency in assigned duties, on the performance evaluation and recommendation of the commanding officer, and on written examinations.
