2. In reviewing the results of this rating, it can
be seen that the four highest ranking study areas are
questions 8, 1, 7, and 5 in that order. With the exception
of question number 1, which pertains to personnel procedures,
there is a very heavy emphasis on administrative questions
and the attendant paper work represented by questions
8, 7, and 5. Based on these observations, ORD MAG will
undertake to investigate administrative-procedures '
scheduling, and paper work in an effort to identify
mechanisms for streamlining procedures and eliminating
unnecessary requirements.

ORD MAG SURVEY
1. Perform a comprehensive study of ORD practices for
reviewing and rating employees. Develop explanatory descriptions
of purposes and functions of various elements in this area,
including the Career Service Panel, the Special Panel, the
LOI, Fitness Reports, etc. Distribute results to employees
to provide a better understanding of this process.
2. Investigate present techniques for customer liaison
and coordination. Review methods for potential improvement.
3. Review Agency use of employee rotation and the
effectiveness with which it might be used by ORD.
4. Discuss training experiences with ORD employees and
develop recommendations to management on ways to improve
training effectiveness.
5. Study the current ORD project initiation and review
system and develop recommendations for restructuring and/or
improvement.
6. Review Agency progress on the upward mobility concept
and propose possible approaches that could be pursued within
ORD. This would include the solicitation of suggestions
and participation by the ORD Staff.
7. Develop and distribute to ORD an overall calendar
for administrative actions. This would-include programming,
budgeting, fitness report reviews, and any other items which
would aid scheduling and employee effectiveness.
8. In the face of snowballing administrative requirements
and paperwork, review the need for and purpose behind various
reporting requirements and recommend changes as appropriate.
9. Provide ORD employees with an alternative to
personal meetings for communicating concerns to the D/ORD.
This channel would employ ORD MAG to assemble and present
these concerns and comments periodically to the D/ORD on
a nonattributable basis.
