MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director of Central Intelligence
FROM : James N. Glerum
Director of Personnel
SUBJECT : Personnel Planning
REFERENCE : Memorandum from Director of Personnel to DDCI
dated 16 July 1981: Same Subject; ER 1139/4
only.
1. Action Requested: None. This memorandum is for information
2. Background: At the 15 April 1981 Executive Committee meeting
you decided that the Annual Personnel Plan and Annual Personnel Report had
outlived their utility and should be discontinued. You also tasked my
Office and the Executive Committee Staff with developing alternative ways
to accomplish the objective of effective personnel planning and to assist
the DDCI/DCI in "getting a handle on" the Agency's personnel management
system. The results of our efforts were contained in reference and its
attachment, which you approved on 17 July 1981, with the proviso that
our actions would be coordinated with the Office of Policy and Planning.
3. Staff Position: My staff has collected, collated, and reviewed
numerous suggestions and concerns relating to personnel management in the
Agency expressed by yourself and other senior managers. Several of the
issues of concern already were under study (for example, the Performance
Appraisal System, compensation, Precepts for CIA Personnel Evaluation Boards
and Panels, better ways to determine recruitment requirements).
4. There are several other issues, however, that do need current
attention and my Office plans to undertake these reviews in the coming
months:
a. Are we attracting and maintaining the critical skills
we need?
b. Why are good employees leaving the Agency?
c. Refinement of certain facets of the Precepts System.

d. The value and use of rotational assignments.
e. The effectiveness of the Agency's Awards System.
f. Assuring appropriate lateral input from the private
sector to the Agency.
We, of course, will continue to be alert to, and seek managers'
and employees' input about, Personnel Management issues through our
regular contacts, monitoring trends from the personnel data base and
through participation in training courses both as briefers and students.
