Invest Savings from Reinvention into Training

2. Give agencies the flexibility to use savings realized from
reinvention to increase their investment in employee training and
development.

Agencies are encouraged to invest part of the savings resulting from
implementation of National Performance Review recommendations and
actions in training and development of employees, supervisors, and
managers to support further reinvention and change. Training funded in
this manner might include quality improvement, benchmarking, performance
measurement, customer service, reengineering and leading/managing
change. Training could also be provided to help employees acquire the
knowledge and skills they need to do their current jobs better, or
retrain them for different jobs.

Authorizing agencies to use savings resulting from reinvention to
finance employee training and development provides additional incentive
for reinvention, increases the funds available to invest in employee
training, and helps ensure that the federal workforce becomes more
effective and productive.
