The DoD and all the service components recently
launched two new Self-Service modules. These modules
allow civilian employees secure, real-time, on-line
access to their personnel information, at any time,
from their workstations. All Army appropriated fund
civilian employees now have a My Biz
account. Supervisors also have a My Workplace
account.
My Biz and My Workplace
are two modules that revolutionize the way employees
and managers, respectively, view personnel information
about themselves and their staff members and update
their own personal information. "These modules use
the power of the Internet to put information in
the hands of those who own it," said Fran White,
director of the Civilian Personnel Management Service
(CPMS) Plans and Programs Branch. "Self-Service
is an exciting tool that encourages employees to
exercise responsibility for their personnel information."
My Biz allows employees secure, real-time,
on-line access to view information from their official
personnel records including appointment type, position,
personal data, salary, benefits, awards and bonuses,
and performance. In addition, employees may update
their telephone number and email address, disability
codes, race and national origin (ethnicity and race
identification), and foreign language proficiency
online with My Biz. For more details
on My Biz visit the Army Civilian
Personnel Online site and select the My
Biz Home Marketing Material.
My Workplace brings key information
to managers and supervisors about their employees
together in one place, streamlining the human resources
decision-making process and helping to balance managerial
tasks with day-to-day demands more easily. My
Workplace keeps managers and supervisors
informed about their employees' personnel actions.
With quick and easy access to employees' personnel
information, managers are able to make budget decisions,
staffing plans, and work distributions more efficiently.

User-friendly My Biz and My
Workplace are rapidly advancing the DCPDS
human resources function - enabling DoD to more
effectively meet the mission every day. Said Jan
Hoffheins, director of CPMS' Regionalization and
HR Systems Modernization Division, "These modules
are changing the way we work, empowering employees
by not only providing access to important information,
but allowing individuals to take action."
