Employee Training and Development	Career development for civilian employees is one tool used to develop skills, enhance productivity/quality of work, and improve employee morale. Supervisors working together with employees generally guide the employees in the area of career development by establishing individualized training plans to strengthen an employee's skills or to teach new skills.
Workers Compensation	The Federal Employees' Compensation Act (FECA), 5 USC 8101 et seq., provides compensation benefits to Federal civilian employees for work-related injuries or illnesses, and to their surviving dependents if a work-related injury or illness results in the employee's death. It is the exclusive remedy for Federal employees for work-related injuries or death. The law is non-adversarial in nature and remedial in intent.
Labor Relations	Management and the unions that represent Federal workers work together cooperatively to enhance effectiveness and efficiency, cut down the number of employment-related disputes, and to improve working conditions. All of which contribute to the kind of performance and results that ensure the success of the DDESS mission of providing a quality progressive education to the children of military and civilians assigned within our school districts.
Employee Relations	Providing DDESS employees assistance with such issues as, performance management, awards, and leave administration
HR Automation	Many of the duties that fall under the HR umbrella--payroll, benefits, official personnel action processing, travel order processing-- can be accessed electronically to streamline administrative tasks and allow convenient employee access. Electronic access to the various HR databases allows DDESS HR to be more responsive to employees and management.
