Description New measure in FY 2007. The MSPB placed as the second “Best Places to Work in Government” in the small agency category; Office Directors focused on specific issues relevant to their offices; increased use of structured interviews resulted in a better comparative assessment of the qualifications of the best qualified candidates. Implemented an exit interview questionnaire and refined vacancy announcements to be more user-friendly and better able to attract the right applicants for the targeted position. Due to low employee turnover in FY 2009, one annual assessment was completed with no areas of concern referenced in the exit interview questionnaire. Also, the MSPB increased its use of electronic hiring software to improve the timeliness of the hiring process. The Executive Resources Board recommended and secured three training slots at the OPM Federal Executive Institute as part of MSPB’s training program, including the Senior Management Fellows Program. A variety of health and wellness programs were provided for employees throughout the year. Review assessment process based on results of hiring makeover project to include timely hiring process, user-friendly vacancy announcements, and exit interview questionnaire. As part of the hiring makeover project’s emphasis on timely hiring, and to incorporate guidance in the President’s Hiring Initiative, we created templates for user-friendly vacancy announcements, implemented applicant notification procedures at four points during the application process, and implemented electronic application processes for all MSPB vacancies. We continue to use exit interview questionnaires and consider other options to improve hiring timeliness. Implement hiring makeover recommendations related to achieving timely recruitment; establish future targets to improve recruiting timeliness.
