FY 2003 Annual Performance Plan
11. STREAMLINE ACF ORGANIZATIONAL LAYERS
Approach for the Strategic Objective: Implement restructuring plan to reduce bureaucratic levels, maintaining or increasing values such as effectiveness, efficiency and diversity while reducing the number of managers to assure that ACF is more responsive to its customers and citizens.
Program Activities, Strategies, and Resources
While ACF has undertaken several methods to ensure steady progress toward this goal including reorganizations, elimination of duplicative units, consolidations, employee reassignments and creative use of technology, progress towards this goal has been stymied as non-supervisory personnel have left through attrition accompanied by a limited administrative budget and severe outside hiring limitations. During this same time-period, new legislation was enacted, such as the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 including the Child Care and Development Fund and the Adoption and Safe Families Act of 1997, without accompanying increases in staff resources to administer these programs. As part of our succession planning activities, we intend to use the Presidential Management Intern and DHHS Career Intern programs, as well as other targeted recruitment, to hire new government workers as our older workforce retires. This strategy should assist us to meet our goal of increasing ACF's manager-to-staff ratio, reduce the number of managers and reduce the time it takes to make decisions. FY 2002 will provide a new baseline for this FY 2003 performance measure and realistic targets will be based on the finalized Workforce Analysis and Restructuring Plan.
