AUTOMATION Automate entire personnel records system (including applicant files) so that personnel actions, biographic profiles, qualifica- tions information, and other related records can be machine pro- duced, and necessary data and reports extrapolated by automatic processes. b. MANPOWER PLANNING Develop a manpower planning system capable of forecasting overall Agency personnel requirements (based on Agency ceiling projections) and then translating these requirements into specific recruitment objectives that reflect the numbers, occupational specialties, and other characteristics of the individuals to be hired during each forecast period. e. RECRUI'1'M Extend and strengthen our present recruiting capability to enable it to perform an increasingly sophisticated and responsive mission. Objectives include better communications arrangements with field recruiters; greater use of retired or other ex-Agency personnel in screening candidates; and wider use of advertising and other public relations media to broaden the geographic reach of our recruitment effort and improve its access to key sources of specialized personnel. d. SELECTION Improve present personnel selection methods by: developing sharper definitions of personnel requirements; establishing more meaningful qualifications standards; taking full advantage of advancements in intelligence, aptitude and other screening tests and devices; and making greater use of central panels and other methods,. including on-the-spot field selection, to speed final decisions in the selection process. Develop our present retirement planning activities into a compre- hensive program of advance planning, counseling, external training, job placement assistance, and perhaps even "gradual retirement," for prospective retirees.

LEGISLATIVE OBJECTIVES ecu ve order authority under which certain present and former employees of CIA may be appointed in the competitive service if they seex employment in other Federal agencies. PLACEMENT Simplify and improve the processes through which Career Services interchange personnel, and also through which individual employees are reassigned, retrained, and redirected in terms of career inter- ests when such adjustments become desirable or necessary. EMPLOYEE RELATIONS Work toward greater sensitivity to employee needs and an increasingly. t cons ructive climate of employee relations. Specific objectives include a more professional counseling service, more scientific analysis of employee motivation and causes of attrition, and a streamlined 1-step arrangement for exit processing. i. EMPLOYEE SERVICES Convert the Credit Union to a completely automated operation. Arrange for the collection of all insurance premiums through payroll deductions or other automatic processes. N Improve the self-supporting capability of all employee services. 1=l . a.. A very sophisticated records and reports system can be expected to match personnel requirements against available skills of employees (and applicants), to give greatly improved support to day-to-day personnel operations, and to yield data that can be manipulated in an almost infinite variety of ways for review and analysis. b. Manpower planning can be expected to produce more precise results with greater accuracy as a result of the increased flow of data from automated sources. co "Phonavision"j, controlled TV circuits, and other advanced methods of communication will be used to expedite recruitment and to reduce the need for travel in connection with interviews.

More precise statements of personnel requirements and better validated methods of testing and selection will make it possible to hire almost all new employees through a central induction system instead of referring them to components for final selection. e. Because a higher proportion of Agency employees will be taking advantage of "early" retirement, increased emphasis will be placed on advanced planning for retirement and assistance to prospective retirees. f. A shorter work week will place increased demands on the employee relations program, particularly those aspects concerned with recrea- tion, off-duty training, welfare activities and counseling. And a new building at Langley, bringing all Headquarters employees into one location, will bring a greatly expanded employee activity pro- gram including the. facilities that will accompany such a program -- i.e., swimming pool, tennis courts, recreation hall, etc* g., Techniques will be developed, using automated equipment, to analyze insurance claims and'to carry out most of,the routine transactions involved in the operation and management of the Credit Union and insurance activities.
