Department Releases First Internal Evaluation Report on NSPS
The Program Executive Office (PEO), NSPS, recently issued the NSPS 2008 Program Evaluation Report, the first internal evaluation report on NSPS. The Report was prepared under the authority of the NSPS regulations, which requires the Department to evaluate NSPS regulations and their implementation.
The PEO, NSPS, carries out program evaluation activities as part of its mission to design, implement, and evaluate NSPS. The primary purpose of the NSPS 2008 Program Evaluation Report is to inform senior leaders and policymakers as they consider changes and improvements to NSPS policies and practices.
The 2008 Report reflects information and results on staffing, pay, job classification, and performance features of NSPS at the end of Spiral 1, after most of the Spiral 1 workforce had completed their first performance cycle and had a full year of experience with the system. In 2008, Spiral 1 organizations were still refining their implementation, and the system was still stabilizing after changes to the system.
A Task Group established under the Defense Business Board is currently conducting a separate, comprehensive review of NSPS. The NSPS 2008 Program Evaluation Report was initiated prior to the decision to conduct the comprehensive review of the system, and has been provided to the Task Group members to assist them in the review of the program.

The NSPS Program Executive Office has developed a single comprehensive web page for accessing NSPS learning materials, resources and tools.
NSPS Connect, Your Gateway to NSPS Information, provides one, centralized portal for accessing NSPS products such as online training courses, fact sheets, tips sheets, worksheets, brochures, user guides, automated tools and more.
Materials on the NSPS Connect web page are accessed through a vast array of links and sub-links. They are organized in three ways:
Role in NSPS: Learning materials are organized for the employee,
manager/supervisor, pay pool administrator/official and HR
practitioner.
- Based on specific feedback from HR practitioners, materials for
practitioners are organized by NSPS regulations and
implementing issuances. |
NSPS Topic: Materials are also organized under general topics
such as applying for and accepting an NSPS position; automated
tools; classification; compensation and pay setting; pay pools; and
many others. |
Category: Web users can also search for products based on
category, such as external links, HR practitioner’s guide, NSPS
regulations and implementing issuances, resources and tools,
and training. |
The “Spotlight” box on the NSPS Connect page informs the user when new materials are posted. The Spotlight area of the page also reminds users to bookmark the NSPS Connect page for easy access to NSPS materials.
NSPS Connect is a comprehensive resource that was developed based on important feedback from NSPS key stakeholders. It replaces the Training page previously featured on the NSPS website. To access NSPS Connect, please click the button on the main menu of the NSPS home page, or CLICK HERE.
