Creating Readiness Metrics for the Army Civilian Workforce: A Way Ahead for Integrating Readiness into Civilian Workforce Planning : RAND Corporation , August 21 , 2023
From the report: “The Army’s civilian workforce plays a critical role in supporting the Army’s mission. U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) and Army policy have focused on workforce planning, management issues, and, more specifically, the contributions of the civilian workforce to strategic readiness, which has increased interest in the concept of civilian workforce readiness and how it might be measured. In this context, the Army asked the RAND Arroyo Center to develop a method for measuring the readiness of its civilian workforce. This method would be grounded in a definition of Army civilian readiness that could inform policies and practices related to sizing and management of the Army civilian workforce, along with metrics for assessing its readiness.
In conducting this research, we reviewed relevant research literature and policy documents related to workforce readiness, conducted interviews with stakeholders across the Army and DoD, developed a logic model that both reflected our definition of civilian workforce readiness and supported the identification of promising readiness metrics, and reviewed U.S. government databases to identify potential sources of data that could be used to measure civilian readiness.”
