Reference page 7585 Section 9901.405 Performance management system requirements, 9901.405(a) states: “DoD will issue implementing issuances that establish a performance management system for DoD employees, subject to the requirements set forth in this subpart.” This system has not been defined, so there is no way to determine if it will be fair, effective and credible. This process must be defined to allow for a meaningful review and comment period, as required by law. No changes should be made to the current performance management system used by DoD agencies until a full comment and review period is completed, followed by a full collective bargaining process with the unions representing DoD employees. A system without a fair and credible performance management procedure will be rejected by employees, and will result in distrust of management, decreased morale, and lower productivity, ultimately harming national security.
