started in FY 2014, when they began the phased migration of AOC’s HRIS to Treasury’s Career Connector. As part of this effort, the HRIS Staffing Module was implemented at AOC to support developing and posting vacancy announcements directly to USAJOBS. The multi-year system implementation project requires a long-term phased deployment approach that includes establishing interim processes while final solutions can be rolled out. Cross-functional teams are supporting the transition phase, developing interim procedures where needed and deploying new solutions as these become available. HCMD management is striving to increase the speed of the hiring process and has set informal targets for staff to aim for. However, these have not been formalized due to the anticipated challenges of the HRIS project transition phase.
TABLE 17: Performance Indicator—Reduction in Usage of Overtime, See Full Report, Page 64
AOC measures organizational efficiency through the number of overtime hours used during the fiscal year. Table 17 provides the FY 2014 overview for this performance indicator. The target is to reduce overtime hours from the prior year. AOC’s FY 2014 overtime usage was 128,179 hours, an increase of 5.6 percent over FY 2013. AOC organizations made all possible efforts to reduce the usage of overtime to complete tasks either by prioritizing or by streamlining. Eight of the 16 AOC organizations monitored had less overtime than in FY 2013, and two did not have any overtime at all. In six instances, however, overtime usage was higher than last year. As a result, during FY 2014—and for the first time in the last four years—AOC staff did not use less overtime than in the previous fiscal year. Two main factors contributed to this situation. The first is the decrease in AOC’s workforce for the fourth consecutive year: in FY 2014 AOC had 12 percent fewer employees than in FY 2011. The second factor is a number of large projects with tight timelines that started toward the end of FY 2014, such as repairs and improvements to sidewalks and the renovation of several large committee rooms. Table 18 and Figure 40 show the trend of overtime hours.
