1.1.1 Summary of Research area of U.S Office of Personnel Management
Assessment and Selection
Job Analysis: Job analysis provides a way to develop this understanding by examining the
tasks performed in a job, the competencies required to perform those tasks, and the
connection between the tasks and competencies.
Occupational Questionnaires: Occupational questionnaires are a fairly quick and
inexpensive way to screen for minimum qualifications, as well as assess applicants to identify
the best qualified.
Structured Interviews: A structured interview is an assessment method designed to measure
job-related competencies of candidates by systematically inquiring about their behavior in
past experiences and/or their proposed behavior in hypothetical situations.
Competencies: A competency is a measurable pattern of knowledge, skills, abilities,
behaviors, and other characteristics that an individual needs to perform work roles or
occupational functions successfully.
Other Assessment Methods: Most of the assessment methods in this section require
considerable test development and measurement expertise to develop in-house. Measurement

Disability Employment
Job Seekers:The Federal Government is actively recruiting and hiring persons with
disabilities. We offer a variety of exciting jobs, competitive salaries, excellent benefits, and
opportunities for career advancement.
Getting a Job: Learn the difference between the competitive and non-competitive hiring
processes, how to use the Schedule a Authority, and how to conduct a job search in the
Federal government.
Find a Selective Placement Program Coordinator: Most Federal agencies have a Selective
Placement Program Coordinator, a Special Emphasis Program Manager (SEPM) for
Employment of Adults with Disabilities, or equivalent, which helps to recruit, hire and
accommodate people with disabilities at that agency.
Providing Accommodation: In order to meet accommodation obligations, agencies should
think creatively about ways to make the workplace more accessible and create an
environment where employees who have disabilities could thrive. Here are some suggestions
that relate specifically to reasonable accommodation issues. {Nomrota, ID: 1421646660}
Diversity
Pursuant to Executive Order 13583 and to the Government-wide Strategic Plan, which was
published on November 17, 2011, the OPM Office of Diversity and Inclusion (ODI)
developed a D&I Dashboard for agency use in workforce planning and reporting, with
information culled from the Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey and the Enterprise Human
Resources Integration data sets.

Employee Relation
Employee Relations at the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) provides guidance
and information to Federal government agencies on the statutes, case law, and regulations for
taking conduct and performance based actions. Employee relations (ER) offers
developmental activities aimed at imparting information to enhance ER practitioners'
performance. Throughout the year, in collaboration with our Interagency Network of
employee and labor relations leaders, we provide training opportunities.

Management. Labor Relations provides technical expertise to the Director of OPM and
federal agencies on issues arising under the Federal Service Labor-Management Relations
Statute. Labor Relations also facilitates training and collaboration among agencies on issues
concerning labor unions. Finally, Labor Relations consults at the national level with labor
organizations, agency managers and labor relations officials in the development of human
resource policy and on Government rules, regulations, and binding directives affecting
conditions of employment. {Nomrota, ID: 1421646660}
Performance Management
Performance management involves much more than just assigning ratings. It is a continuous
cycle that involves:
Planning work in advance so that expectations and goals can be set;
Monitoring progress and performance continually;
Developing the employee's ability to perform through training and work assignments;
Rating periodically to summarize performance and,
Rewarding good performance. { Nomrota, ID: 1421646660}
Work life
Work-life is the business practice of creating a flexible, supportive environment to
engage employees & maximize organizational performance. Work-life programs are
critical management tools for the Federal community as we strive to maintain an
4 | P a g e
excellent, engaged workforce. Key work-life programs offered to Federal employees
include worksite health and wellness, Employee Assistance Programs, workplace
flexibilities, timework, and dependent care. When implemented according to today’s
best practices, work-life programs can demonstrate significant benefits for agencies
employees, and our communities. {Nomrota, ID: 1421646660}
1.1.2 Performance Appraisal Model of OPM
Results-oriented performance appraisal plans are central to linking individual accountability
to organizational outcomes to build a high performance organization. OPM Consultants can
provide internal reviews to help agencies ensure that their performance management plans are
compliant with Human Capital Accountability Assessment Framework (HCAAF) and
Performance Appraisal Assessment Tool (PAAT ) requirements. These plan reviews
encompass SES, SL/ST, and GS or equivalent performance appraisal plans. The performance
plan appraisal review process includes three “pass” reviews of individual performance plans
with specific feedback on criteria specified in the PAAT, general briefings to managers and
human resources officials, and one-on-one consultation with appraisal plan holders if needed.

1.1.3 Compensation System Model of OPM
The typical compensation package for career senior executives includes salary and awards.
Additionally, members enjoy a benefits package and are eligible for other forms of
recognition. Performance awards (bonuses) may be given only to career executives and are
for performance during the previous appraisal period. The agency head approves awards
following recommendations by the agency Performance Review Board. The amount of an
award must be between 5 percent and 20 percent of the executive's rate of basic pay as of the
end of the performance appraisal period. Generally, total award payments in an agency are
limited to 10% of the aggregate amount of basic pay paid to career appointees as of the end of
the previous fiscal year.

Performance Review
A Successful Performance Review Conversation of MIT requires
Careful planning by manager and employee
Constructive communication
Collaborative attitude
Openness to giving and receiving feedback
Commitment to "continuous improvement"
High level of accountability—good follow-through on commitments made
during conversation
Openness to redefining or readjusting goals as needed (for the department
and/or for the employee)
{Alam, 1520003690, Edited by: Nomrota, ID: 1421646660}
Goal setting
Performance Goals
Are short-term objectives set for specific work in the employee's current position
Relate to the department's overall goals
Include clearly defined expectations for success
Development Goals
Tie to anticipated needs in the employee's current position and/or
20 | P a g e
Focus on opportunities outside the current role and/or
Look at the organization's anticipated needs and/or
Focus on the employee's strengths, talents, and interests separately from the current
position.
{Alam, 1520003690, Edited by: Nomrota, ID: 1421646660}
SMART
Using the SMART acronym can help ensure that managers and employees share the same
understanding of goals set during performance review conversations.
Specific
At a specific time solicit updates from a specific group of people, and at a specific time revise
the web page.
Measurable
Were updates solicited on schedule? Was the web page updated on schedule? These are both
yes or no questions.
Achievable
This requires some conversation—is the updates too frequent? What should the employee do
if managers fail to respond? What other time-sensitive work is this employee responsible for?
With conversation, it should be possible to set a shared, achievable standard for updating the
department's web page.
Relavant
The goal needs to tie into the employee's key responsibilities and be relevant to the mission
of the department.
21 | P a g e
TimeBound
This sample goal does not end with a particular action or event but carries forward until the
employee's next review, or until it is changed for other reasons. Some goals might be time-
bound by setting a deadline for the project or task to be completed.
{ Alam, 1520003690, Edited by: Nomrota, ID: 1421646660}
Manager’s performance development toolkit
Frequent Conversations Prepare Managers and Employees for the Annual
Review
Midyear conversations present opportunities to assess progress toward goals
and to make midyear corrections. Learn more about preparing and
conducting the review conversation.
Keep Job/Position Descriptions Up-to-Date
Job/position descriptions should be reviewed annually to reflect the frequent
change in responsibilities and duties in MIT's positions.
Document the Conversations
A written performance review form or memo is important because it
documents a shared understanding of past performance and provides a record
of expectations for the work going forward.
Create a Reciprocal Process.
Frequent conversations about performance create a reciprocal process and an
atmosphere of shared responsibility for the work.
Managers and employees who do meet regularly to discuss performance goals
report that the annual review conversation becomes a summary—a low-stress
"non-event" that is just part of an ongoing cycle.
Start with a Self-Appraisal. Individual managers can also ensure that every
22 | P a g e
employee receives an annual review and that the review process is based on a
self-appraisal form completed by the employee.
Consider Multi-rater Feedback
{ Alam, 1520003690, Edited by: Nomrota, ID: 1421646660}
1.3.2 Performance Appraisal Model of MIT
Performance development is a broad term that includes performance management and
employee development. It describes both managing/assessing the work that needs to be done
and providing opportunities for professional growth and development.There are tremendous
benefits to managers, employees, and organizations that invest time and thought into
performance development practices. When done consistently and well, these practices result
in better performance on the individual and organizational levels, higher satisfaction and
morale among staff, retention of strong performers, and an effective means for correcting.

1.3.3 Compensation System Model of MIT
The Administrative Staff salary classification structure is broad in that it blends measures of
internal and external market equity. The Compensation Office suggests that, where
appropriate, job postings contain a hiring range.
Hiring Ranges:The hiring range should be based on what has been budgeted for the job,
what others in similar jobs within the department and across the Institute are being paid, and
what the market is paying for similar jobs.

Create a Harmonious Workplace
Managing effectively in the diverse UN work environment
When we think of the "diversity" concept in a workplace, we often think of cross-
cultural differences first. While these are important, and especially prevalent in the
UN environment, attention to diversity also means considering the perspectives that
come from different genders, races, religions, sexual orientations and mental/physical
difficulties.
Conflict Prevention and Resolution
We work in a large organization with a staff diverse in culture and function, dispersed
over many countries across the globe. It is to be expected that some tensions will exist
39 | P a g e
at times and disagreements will occur. Keeping our goal uppermost – a harmonious
workplace – managers must act for prevention and quick resolution.
Commitment to the UN: Fostering the sense of honor to serve
Keep staff grounded in the larger mission of the UN as well as its many
accomplishments by encouraging them to know what is going on in the present as
well as the highlights of the 70 years of UN history.
Motivating and inspiring staff
One of the most important things to remember as a manager is that the things you say
and do affect others directly. Think carefully about the effect you want to have, and
guide your behavior accordingly. It’s true that individuals make their own choices
about how much they will invest themselves in their job, but as a manager, you have
daily influence over those decisions. Use it wisely and in a motivating way.
Staff Well-being
Staff members serve in many types of work settings and at time encounter situations
that challenge emotional and physical well-being, in addition to the stresses of
personal and family life. As a manager, be aware of what is available to respond to
these needs and challenges.

{Istiaq, 1321838060}
1.6.3 Compensation system model of UN
Compensation is determined by comparing the net salaries paid by the United Nations with the after-
tax salaries of comparable staff employed by selected employers in the locality where duty stations
are located.
a) Base salary
The base salary, which is determined by the grade of the post specified in the job opening and
by the existence of any dependents, is the same throughout the United Nations system.
Annual net base salary ranges approximately in US$:
37,000 - 80,000 for entry level professionals (P1 - P3)

123,000 for senior level professionals (D1 - D2)
Tax exemption
Salaries, grants and allowances paid by the United Nations are normally exempt from income
tax.
b) Post adjustment
The base salary is supplemented by a post adjustment which varies according to the cost of
living in the duty station and the exchange rate of the United States dollar. The post
adjustment, set by the United Nations as a percentage of the base salary, ensures that all staff
members at the same salary level have a similar purchasing power in every duty station by
compensating for the differences in cost of living while taking currency fluctuations into
account.For example if your annual base salary is US$ 64,000 and the post adjustment
multiplier for your duty station is 65.7%, your salary will be calculated based on the
following: Post adjustment per year: US$ 64,000 x 0.657 = US$ 42,048
Total annual salary: 64,000

2.1.1 Recommendation for OPM
1. Promote communication and information-sharing. The HR will work with
stakeholder agencies – providers and customers – to share information about HRIT
portfolios and plans, facilitating the kind of information-sharing that will lead to
resource sharing.
2. Establish the HR Innovation Center. It will also provide for a sandbox environment
that allows for demonstrating and accessing the HR applications that may be shared.
3. Perform an HRIT current state analysis. The HR LOB will leverage the results of
the HRIT inventory effort that took place during 4QFY2011 to analyze existing
portfolios for resource sharing opportunities.
4. Develop a transition plan. The realization of this framework will involve numerous
activities – many of which have dependencies and/or must be coordinated with other
activities – and it will involve effort on the part of many people – at the provider
level, at the customer level, at the policy level.
2.1.2 Recommendation for Harvard University:
1. Harvard University should invest more on international student education by
providing scholarship
2. They should more concentrate on the Health issue of the students
3. They should provide more facilities for students’ place of living
4. They should diversify the subjects and add new and life oriented subjects
5. They should increase faculties and increase the number of students
2.1.3 Recommendation for MIT
1. Create legislation that will grant HR Shared Service: Centers the authority to
establish no-year Franchise Funds. This will allow providers to retain a portion of the
43 | P a g e
fees that they collect from customer charges and apply them to development,
modernization, and enhancements.
2. Encourage HR to maximize resource sharing and consolidation of services.
Identify synergies and opportunities for partnering among providers, including
sharing infrastructure, platform, and application resources..
3. Consider consolidating HR applications and going further to consolidate MIT, where
it makes sense. IT consolidation will result in fewer systems to modernize,
significantly reducing the cost of modernization.
4. Serve as a knowledge center, helping to fill knowledge gaps and providing counseling
on OMB’s prescribed path and practices for achieving more flexible models.
5. Accumulate lessons learned and make them available to HRIT projects and to OMB
for more widespread application.
2.1.3 Recommendation for World Bank:
1. World Bank should work on the development program in underdeveloped
countries
2. .It should work for the underprivileged children education
3. They should bring new projects to increase the standard of living
4. They should concentrate on development rather than economic benefit.
2.1.4 Recommendation for NASA
1. The Department of HR should work with stakeholder agencies
2. Employee and labor relation must be strong
3. Develop a proper compensation plan for long term
4. Evaluate performance basis bonus and other stuff
5. Enabling Negotiations
2.1.5 Recommendation for UN
1. Safety first issues to be noted seriously
2. Mission compensation should be added
3. Injury payment should be done as long as the employee is not fit
4. Female should be treated like make worker
44 | P a g e
5. Retirement pension plan has to be increased
{E-LEMON}
3.0.0 Conclusion
All of these six organizations provide an exclusive compensation and benefit program to their
employees. Employees are fairly treated as per their ability to work, performance and
experience. Equal employment opportunity practiced through a well-designed job
description. Focused career planning discussions between employee and manager help to
define career options and encourage appropriate learning and development opportunities that
will support next steps.The recent labor market demographics, trends in the employment of
workers, and challenges and concerns employers have raised regarding the diversified
workforce. It also looks at the limited extent to which employers have undertaken
preparations for responding to the diversified workforce.The results of this research point to
several areas in need of further investigation.
