Outline of Discussion for ORD Career Service Panel
SUBJECT: Criteria for Promotability List
1. The CSP has as one of its fundamental responsibilities the
annual preparation of a promotability list for all ORD personnel.
Members of the Panel were requested to submit comments on their
criteria; the AD/ORD was requested to participate in the 30 June
meeting to discuss this subject.
2. In general, it is agreed that the following factors must be
considered:
a. Length of service with the specific division;
b. Length of time in grade;
c. Sustained job performance relative to standards
for the necessary higher grade;
d. Attitude of the individual;
e. Loyalty to the Division, ORD, and the Agency;
f. Significant personal contributions;
g. Maturity and effectiveness in program management
and high level liaison.
3. More specifically, when an attempt is made to establish a
promotability list, it becomes difficult to resolve the individual criteria
of each division to a common set for rating ORD personnel. It becomes
necessary, for instance, to translate each efficiency report on an
individual into a common language for the overall office; different
supervisers place different emphasis on time in grade and specific tech-
nical contributions. It thus becomes necessary either to develop an
overall philosophy, or to develop a formula with weighted elements which
could be used as a guide in establishing positions on the promotability
list.
