What's New?!

Have you ever found yourself looking at a blank web page and were not sure what you were planning on typing in the search bar? We sometimes laugh it off as temporary memory loss, but it probably is more likely that it is simple information overload — with a little stress added in for good measure — that is keeping us from remembering our original intention.
Do you have Use or Lose?

Beginning on Sunday, 10 Dec 17, the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is scheduled to implement a new sign-in method to increase the security of the USAJOBS system. As many of you know, USAJOBS is the official recruitment system for General Schedule (GS) and Wage Grade (WG) positions. OPM will email applicants (with active USAJOBS account) a series of emails informing them of the new USAJOBS sign-in method. Applicants will be prompted to create a login.gov account upon signing in to USAJOBS.
Please click here for PowerPoint slides with detailed information about the expected update, including step-by-step sign-in instructions.
Please feel free to contact your HR Team at hro@nps.edu with questions relating to this implementation.
DOD Instruction 1400.25, Volume 410, DoD Civilian Personnel Management System: Training, Education, and Professional Development, requires the creation and updating of IDPs for all civilian employees. OCHR has incorporated this requirement into the new SECNAV 12410.25A, Civilian Employee Training and Career Development.
What is an IDP?
An Individual Development Plan (IDP) is a tool to assist employees in career and personal development. Its primary purpose is to help employees reach short and long-term career goals as well as develop the specific competencies necessary to meet current objectives and to determine the training, education and other professional development strategies that can be used to develop such competencies. IDPs assist in making employee performance more effective in present or future positions and should be viewed as a partnership between an employee and their supervisor.
