Common Automated Systems to Assist Agency Staffing

7. Create a governmentwide employment information system to inform the
public of job opportunities. 

Coordinate the development and operation of common automated systems to
facilitate agency staffing policies and operations. (1)

By September 1994, the director of OPM should develop and implement an
expanded job information service featuring a user-friendly, state-
of-the-art electronic information network to which customers can easily
gain access. By September 1994, OPM and agencies should collaborate in
developing a core automated personnel operations support network to
reduce the cost and inefficiency of separate agency systems.

A substantially refined and expanded automated employment information
system should be installed to which applicants can gain telephone or
electronic access. Services provided at Federal Job Information Centers
should be expanded, and agency access to the Central Personnel Data File
(CPDF) increased. CPDF should be extensively reconfigured to provide
management information for the purpose of monitoring workforce
statistics, including those which relate to managerial accountability,
such as employee turnover and selection data by race, gender, and
disability categories.
