Report To The Director, Office Of

Personnel Management









New Performance Appraisals Beneficial

But Refinements Needed


Performance appraisal systems established
by the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978
provided for the development of objective
criteria for formally rating the performance
of Federal employees. Ninety-five percent of
all General Schedule employees covered
under the act had been provided performance
standards by October 1,1981 --the implemen-
tation date.

Major benefits of the new appraisal system
!have been improved communication and
:understanding of work requirements be-
tween employees and supervisors. However,
many agencies need to further refine their
systems to improve the quality of perform-
ance standards, the timeliness and manner
of completing appraisals, and the use of
appraisal results in making personnel
decisions.

GAO recommends several ways in which
the Office of Personnel Management could
help agencies improve their performance
appraisal systems.
